If I'm one of the clueless colonials (and I kinda like that sobriquet) whom you have blocked, does that mean I can write all kinds of taunting posts at you? Post real pictures of real biscuits and boots and fanny packs and... and you'll never notice!? bwahahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas, too. And I really want to love bananas and that is a peeve of mine. I have tried and tried and tried and just can't do it. Bananas have about a 3 hour window of having the right flavor and texture, and then they are yummy. Otherwise... not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seicher Rae Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I don't remember who it was who got their knickers in a twist when I derailed this thread over chili (and to be fair, it was in response to someone else's comment about chili), and I can't be arsed to find out (this sentence is proof I've been talking with too many Brits), but this current epic food takeover? I am peeved. Someone owes me an apology, and an ironed pair of knickers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seicher Rae Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I left the Forum to do stuff in RL just then. However. I had to return because I have a real life, honest to god food peeve happening AS WE SPEAK. Realizing you bought a 10-pack of hot dogs. And an effing 8-pack of buns. Efffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. AND and and, why are hotdog buns in New England all split vertically through the top instead of sideways through the middle AS GOD INTENDED? And YES! This is my classy brunch! Don't judge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though it is a big franchise, for whatever reason the KFC around the area where it originated tastes better. The biscuits are way better there, than even not too far away in Cincinnati. ETA: It is sort of the Guinness effect. Guinness is best in Dublin. The farther away you get, even in Ireland, it just doesn't taste quite as good. The fancy cans in America help, but still doesn't give you the real deal. But I still eat KFC away from KY and still drink Guinness here in the States.

Amina Sopwith Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Spotty bananas are perfect for banana bread. Most recipes don't require as much sugar as they call for. Lovely overripe bananas, you may not need any extra sugar at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it may be that Gordon Ramsay is a traitor and a frankophile, but that's just all wrong. British traditional food has plenty of comfort foods and delicacies, Britain was at the forefront of the modernization of food with the introduction of the range. I get that black pudding and eel pie may appear unappealing, but for those of us who enjoy more than 'sweet and creamy' in our diets it's a wonderland compared to the bland, boring, fatty, sugary, starchy cuisine of the US. The Scandinavian palette certainly isn't the easiest to approach as an outsider, we've salted, smoked, pickled, dried and soured things for the sake of preservation for so long that we don't think twice about serving black pudding in elementary school. It may appear wild and weird, but it's all balanced so that the flavours compliment each other and build off of each other. We like flavour, damn it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid I called it Worchester Shire. Got tired of people laughing at me for it without ever telling me wtf was so funny when I asked so I called it Lea & Perrins until my father finally helped me with the correct pronunciation. That was typical of the treatment I received growing up. I was the kid everyone picked on in school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the US is large (and not just the people!) and culturally diverse. So are a great many other places. The idea that it's okay to mush the vast range of culture or even just food available in the UK, or in Scandinavia, into one lump and yet get defensive about the variety on offer in the states... it's kinda laughable. This cuts both ways or not at all. But we're all just joking around, so it's all gucci. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
