French vs British Cuisine

[Markymark]

Thing is, French and British nosh can be good and bad, if you want the best food though, you go to Italy. FACT!

I agree. Pizza Hut.

At least we have the decency to hide offal in sausages and pretend it's pork!

tbh, I've never had one... too far south for me... I know it by reputation only

Have spent a few nights out in Darlo which have ended with a parmo. They are pretty good, and I've had one sober.

Unlike pizza and kebabs, it's best not reheated. That way lies madness. And a minging microwave.

I agree too....I am italian

As long as it's not Indian, Thai, Japanese nor contains monsters of the deep, I'm happy.

How incredibly dull.

Le Pot Noodle, breakfast of kings. Thank you France.

How incredibly dull.

I know. People think I'm racist(!)

I just like the taste of food these days - the actual meat, the actual vegetables. Spices, unless very subtle, ruin it for me.



Everybody hates me, I think I'll go and eat some worms. Or maybe a steak and ale pie.

 

[Tin Pot]

I hope that's got Stork marge.
BTW, the bread looks far to wholesome to be British. It needs Mother's Pride.

Here is something that I missed the memo on - when did Bagel become a British breakfast staple?

They're not.

I'm wondering how I've managed not to encounter a parmo in Darlington during eighteen years of residency and forty years worth of frequent visits. I've never heard of them until tonight.

Miss Goodbody is rather partial to a lunchtime deep fiil.

I often wish that the forum had a "Carry On" soundboard attachment for just this sort of post.

You think that's bad, you should see German sausages.



They're the wurst.

For example... nicked off facebook, these will be standard Iceland fish fingers and breaded mushrooms, ready-cut strips of chicken with some packet powder thrown at them, and 'sauces' made on an industrial estate in Harlesden. And wtf are mozarella poppers? Probably would taste fine, and it's a range of influences, sure, but... it isn't the kind of prepared from scratch stuff you get in France/Spain/Italy.

Depends on the pub. I went to lunch somewhere yesterday where it would all have been homemade from scratch.

Mozarella poppers are probably arancini stuffed with mozzarella - a perfectly genuine Italian meal.

Yup, fair enough... Arancini, yes, that makes sense too.

I'm more of a sofficini man.
