The food (at least in London Town) seems to habe moved in the direction of Indian and Chinese although bangers and mash seems to still dominate pub fare.

THE WORLDS WORST GOVERNMENT
DECIDED BY---------------
On my right in the red white & blue latex it's the Texas Tremor & on my left also in red white & blue the Beligerent Brit. A contest to be decided by the best of 3 Temper Tantrums or the first to get shot in both feet
See, OAK.
Your good food comes from somewhere else.
Its OK, though.
I still love that Emerald Isle.
Rule, Britannia, and all that.
Ah Lash ---- we brits are an eclectic nation. we'll borrow from any other nation if it suits us. Indian , Italian, Chinese. McDs & Pizza Hut find favor over here as well.
But, shall we call Pizza Hut English food? If we are cooking across the world in Home Ec, during Brit Week, don't we suffer with tasteless, English endemic fare?
To be fair, Irish Week would be worse.
Good old Ireland. lovely people. I've drunk in Irish pubs in the UK, I spent my honeymoon in Ireland, now the food though is a mystery
Hummus...? I can't think of the name of it-- It looks like cat food and smells worse.
Frankly, our food should taste worse. It's full of sugar and carbohydrates and American children are all preposterously chubby and unhealthy. (The preceding was a glib opinion.) We're all ready to stroke out, and then Britain will rule the waves again. (The preceding was a bit of an overstatement.)
we've had overweight kids & adults, eating all the wrong foods. we are no different over here.
doggy bags never quite made it here I wonder if they are an american myth.
I've eaten well in the states but i've also eaten quite ordinary meals. disneyland food was a joke. non stop burger and fries
Haggis ? as long as they keep them where they belong, in scotland, fine. and i say that in my scottish ancestry & endorse it with my english ancestry
Haggis is basically sawdust mixed with Oxo.
That can stay north of the border, and force fed to drunk poetry aficionados every Burn's night, as far as I am concerned.
HAND GRENADES TO GO -- WITH THE PIN OUT
I think Canada rivals for bad weather. How about the 29 days-in-a-row rainfall during the month of December 05? Ick Or the ice storm in Quebec? Or anywhere where they're more than 1 foot of snow, where you have to warm up your car before going anywhere?
And on the food front, unless it's ethnic, Canadian stuff is pretty bland. Burgers, spaghetti (can't really call that ethnic anymore), mac and cheese, blah.

Hmm..we'd give you both a good goddam run for your money. I do think the US would likely win on points, though.
Petrol is bloody expensive isn't it!
It's not the argument room either is it? So we have to behave ourselves from now on.
