I am an American currently studying in Britain and I can tell you now, that Brit food isn't as bad as I was led to believe. I think the bland food thing came from post war austerity but Brits have some good stuff.

They love pies, Steak and Kidney seems to be a favorite here and their chippys are pretty good, you can't get good fish and chips back home like you can in England. The food on the whole is more expensive though, their burgers are shit and they can't do a good steak to save their lives.

One thing I have noticed is that their food is less sweet, Worcestershire sauce is more spicy, so are the baked beans and I have even got to like Marmite (sort of).

Mexican food is non-existent here but people make their own Chilli-con-carne and sushi is pretty much unheard of but nobody really cares anyway.

Black pudding is good and so are faggots but I can't wait to get home next year for a decent burger.

Because American "cheddar" """cheese""" product is nothing like a good block of cheddar.

Americans just use the word sharp instead of mature which doesn't make sense since it doesn't taste sharp but whatever Americans are retarded so nothing new there

>>
>>7161882
>>7161887

Have you never travelled to the continent, or even stayed in an international hotel?
>>
>>7161918
I live there.

Cheese is usually cold and has a slight rubbery texture depending on what kind of cheese you're eating.

Sorry you're only used to hot, melted cheese.
>>
>>7161918
I have extensively, I don't know what shitty places you've stayed though
>>
>>7161925

I mean more that the cheese you get in most Northern European breakfasts is fridge-cold slices of plastic-flavoured unpleasantness, accompanied by equally unappetising slices of bland salami and other miscellaneous industrially-produced cured meats.This is often served alongside a couple of stale bread rolls, and perhaps a hard-boiled egg. I've had a few decent examples of this kind of breakfast in my time, but they are few and far between. Give me the Italian, French, or English approach to breakfast any day of the week.
>>
>>7161971
>French

uhhhhh continental breakfast is french ya doofus
>>
>>7161973
No it isn't you retard.
>>
>>7161974
It's Franco-Italian. The Spanish lean towards pan con tomate over croissants/cornetti.
But fried food is very English and very un-French. Even a boiled egg is enough to make the French wince at that time of day.
>>
>>7161987
a whole, breakfasts are not a huge affair in France. Traditionally french breakfast is called as Le petit déjeuner - it means the petit (small) breakfast. So breakfast is generally very small. For most people that consists of something sweet:

pain au chocolat
pain au raisin with jam
brioche
a regular croissant
fresh baguette with jam
pain au lait (slightly sweet light bread)
biscuits
Often in cafes a small side portion of eggs or ham usually compliments the meal.
>>
I have to admit, the first time I went to Europe I was looking forward to some exceptional food and was prepared to have my mind blown. France and Spain delivered so hard and Italy was very impressive (note you fuckers need to get your greasy asses in a shower more than once a month and back of the cologne so hard). Outside of London and this wonderful inn in the countryside, Brits are almost indistinguishable from white trash in Kentucky and the quality of your food, not to mention prices and portions was just god awful. Also, you fucks sound like you're screaming and your mouth is filled with vomit while you're tying to haphazardly ape something resembling English.

However Ireland gave methheads in West Virginia a run for their money on being the most filthy subhumans in existence and I spent two years in the backwoods of Ghana. I have never in my life seen so many pregnant women holding a child, smoking a cigarette while screaming some primitive language into a phone. The Irish were the most incredibly rude pieces of shit I've ever had the misfortune of interacting with, whereas your immigrants were well spoken and polite.

I literally left 3 restaurants and didn't even bother to go into several because I could not understand what the people were saying. The first time I thought my server had a speaking disability, I'm not fucking kidding. I tried to clarify what she was saying three or four times until she finally threw her hands up and grabbed another guy who to my relief was a Paki who actually spoke decent english. The times I walked out I had to use the phrase "I apologize, but I cannot understand what you're saying" repeatedly and the only clarification I was given was a little more attitude and a raising of their voice.

I'll be honest with you. These days I can go outside, listen to other people talking to each other and I can honestly not understand what they're saying. This is only really true with young people, old people I can understand even when they have strong regional accents. It's bad enough that I just assume they're speaking another language, but there's always a little doubt in my mind that it's just me that doesn't understand English.
