I came to this forum because it seems to be blessedly free of a lot of europeans.

don't you have anything better to do than post in a conservative AMERICAN forum?

Ella Windsor says that if you don’t like pigging out, you won’t much enjoy eating in the US, where The Cheesecake Factory serves portions big enough to kill an ox

Ella is a ditz. Why does she feel compelled to eat the entire portion at one sitting?

Budweiser - of Czech origin I believe?

Also now brewed and distributed in the UK.

So when I drink a bottle of Bud in London, is it American Czech or British?

American food is whatever you want it to be: Italian-American, Thai-American, Chinese-American, Mexacali&Tex-Mex-American, etc..

Lady is harping on American pop culture more than our food, our world-influence rather than a crappy trip to the local Boston Market Restaurant.

Loving my country above and beyond all others reflects badly on Americans?

Expressing freely by frustration with all the gimp countries in the world who crawl to the US taxpayers and the US Military to solve their problems gives America a bad name?

Exercising my God-given right to free speech by responding to some foreigner who wants to bad-mouth ANYTHING that is Red White and Blue is an Attitude?

It is truely unfortunate if I and my small minority of patriotic Americans have offended you, that was really not the intention.

On the other hand, go screw yourself.

Where does it say that this is an exclusively American forum?

heh what i want to know is why an american happily saying "america rules" bothers the europeans so much. I think it is because in their hearts they know we rule too. ;)

its all just jealousy

What's wrong with you? Black pudding is fab. I thought you yanks were supposed to be tough but instead here you are being all weenie-like about blood sausage (you get it all over the world, in fact Spanish is probably the best) and offal.

You mean to say that you don't eat spleen? Or Sheeps brains? Sweetbreads? Don't know what you're missing.

It is an exclusively conservative forum. We love america here. And if you do not share these values (and are a prat about it) then you will probably end up getting booted out.

Where do you get a tenderloin like that? Regular grocery store, or do you have to go to a butcher shop?

Has anyone here ever seen anyone eat an entire cheesecake? (I don't mean those light refigerator things. I mean the real thing, like what they are describing in the article.

I have a big appetetite, yet cheesecake is one thing that never fails to fill me up quickly. A real cheesecake is one of the most filling foods you can find, so it is absurd to suggest that anyone would eat an entire cheesecake.

If I was an American, a real American, proud of his country and keen to uphold it's reputation in the eyes of the world, I would consider you an embarrassment.

I suspect you are very young, so I will excuse your ignorance.

That bitter swill that Europeans call "beer" tastes like ass juice to me!

Close, but real ass juice is more tart.

Have you ever tried an American apple? They look perfect — enormous, red and shiny — but have the consistency of cotton wool.

Stupid Brit, you are not supposed to eat the wax ones!

I talked to the owner of a West Palm Beach pizzeria. He said his stuff (flour, cheese, sause, etc.) comes from the same supplier he used in Brooklyn, NY. In Boca Raton, there's a restaurant with a micro-brewery. They filter their water and use it for beer and pizza dough. They're close, but no cigar.

So it's not what they're taking OUT of the water. It's whats MISSING from the water.

A note on British cuisine:

Dairy products in England are FAR SUPERIOR to anything served in the U.S. There is a much higher butterfat content. The butter, cream, etc. is FANTASTIC!

During our visit, we were treated every morning to "filter coffee." This is made in a French press gizmo. We bought one when we came home (we had to look around to find one that ISN'T made in France) and, when we're in the mood for a treat, we make a pot of "pressed" coffee.

Made with dark roast beans, it is AWSOME! Don't drink it after 7:00, though, or you'll be up well past 2:00!
