It is one thing to welcome the British enriching the language with their usage but it will mark the ultimate decline of civilization if we permit them to have the slightest influence over our cuisine.

One has to go to former British colonies like New Zealand to get worse food. It is, no doubt, why we fought two wars in 1776 and 1812 and I can think of no more righteous casus belli.

There’s a theory that the true cause of British worldwide expansionism and colonialism was mainly a search for something good for dinner.

“but it will mark the ultimate decline of civilization if we permit them to have the slightest influence over our cuisine.”

Lies perpetrated by the Italians and the frogs. I enjoyed the roast lamb and beer, and beef wellington.

,,, when were you last in New Zealand and what did you eat? On the four occasions I’ve been to the US I’ve had opportunities to meet wonderful people and see amazing things with the resultant resolve to keep returning. McDonalds, KFC and other such “food” options have never contributed positive composites to my decision processes. I do recall tasteless hydroponic vegetables and very reasonable priced meals, but don’t claim higher ground on food, whatever you do.
