I donāt think the palates of US citizenās are particularly known, world-wide, for their sophistication. We in the U.K., on the other hand, have sheepās stomachs filled with spicy offal (haggis), the boiled lining of cowās intestine (tripe), short-crust pastry parcels filled with various āmeatsā not otherwise fit for human consumption (pies and pasties), fried eggs, bacon, sausages, fried blood pudding and tomatoes (āfull Englishā) and, of course, McDonalds! šso are blueberries. Wouldnāt want them on my pizza. But you do you. If you like it, knock yourself out. š¤£

Best food in the UK is Indian food. You ask an average Brit where to go for a ālocalā meal and theyāll send you to the Indian restaurant. šWe in the U.K., on the other hand, have sheepās stomachs filled with spicy offal (haggis), the boiled lining of cowās intestine (tripe), short-crust pastry parcels filled with various āmeatsā not otherwise fit for human consumption (pies and pasties), fried eggs, bacon, sausages, fried blood pudding and tomatoes (āfull Englishā) and, of course, McDonalds! š
Thank goodness Iām a vegetarian!
I was being ironic about the quality of British food, Steve. I shall be more explicit next time.Haha. Says the Brit. If itās not boiled or deep fried, I guarantee youāve over baked it. š
Being serious, though, the USA is a very big place. If you eat local wherever you go, youāll be well fed. Salmon, halibut, and crab in Seattle, shrimp on the gulf coast, Cajun food in Louisiana and so on. We have a lot of really good food. Just need to know how to ask.

Hard sometimes to pick up sarcasm on a forum post. Sorry about that. Most of my sarcasm just gets me in trouble around here anyway. šI was being ironic about the quality of British food, Steve. I shall be more explicit next time.
As a Briton of Indian ancestry , I can assure you that most āIndianā food available here is pretty dire...in fact, I very rarely go to Indian restaurants except in Leicester and Southall (London)
Iādāve thought the descriptions of traditional British food would be sufficient to turn your stomach!š¤¢Hard sometimes to pick up sarcasm on a forum post. Sorry about that. Most of my sarcasm just gets me in trouble around here anyway. š
We had some decent Indian food in London and found a couple of places with a good Sunday roast. But most of the food we ate was just okay, at best.
But yeah, I can talk about food all day long. Love a good meal.
I live in a diverse neighborhood. Neighbors from Ethiopia, Iran, India, and then several who are from different parts of America. We eat well. A lot of great food and the neighborhood potlucks are pretty amazing.
My family was very poor, so eating tripe and tendon doesnāt bother me at all. I actually made a point of looking for haggis in Glasgow and Edinburgh and had a hard time finding it anywhere. We found some but it was overly salty and Iām pretty sure it wasnāt a good representation.Iādāve thought the descriptions of traditional British food would be sufficient to turn your stomach!š¤¢
Since the end of lockdown, I think many middle-priced, chain restaurants standardās have dropped drastically. Being a vegetarian, my choices are limited but I am not that fussy (I dislikes cooked carrots and despise coriander/celantro) but tasteless, badly prepared food is not acceptable. So I eat out once every couple of months or so and with some trepidation š¤·š½āāļø No wonder restaurants are going bust all the time.

My father was a butcher & made haggis, sausages..etc. Was lucky in the respect I never went hungry although I've never been a huge eaterMy family was very poor, so eating tripe and tendon doesnāt bother me at all.

I donāt make a lot of sweet breads or liver anymore but if you ever come over, Iām sure I can do it justice.
I lived in Scotland for many years and you can get good Indian food up there! Salty haggis? Thatāll be cover the taste of petrifying pig hearts!š¤¢My family was very poor, so eating tripe and tendon doesnāt bother me at all.

You never visited my local chippy. None of that rubbish. Good old school food.And to preempt further posts, at that time (1991) I only found one takeaway that battered and deep-fried Mars Bars, Crunchies etc and I think it was a bit of a gimmick for the new students!
When I was young, I worked at meat market on the live end (kill floor). Weekly, we had two German families who would come get the beef stomachs and sometimes pork stomachs. Literally rummaged them out of 55-gallon drums among the rest of the innards the same day they were slaughtered. Having lived rural and semi-subsistent I never thought much of it. But glad I never wanted to do that eighter.I donāt think the palates of US citizenās are particularly known, world-wide, for their sophistication.

We have a sub-set ofā¦ food in the USA. Itās often referred to as fair food (though I still think fair fare is better). Itās basically deep fried anything. Fried ice cream, fried candy bars, you name it. Iāve even seen deep fried butter. š³š¬I lived in Scotland for many years and you can get good Indian food up there! Salty haggis?

On my first evening in Scotland as a student, I went to the local takeaway for a small pizza. They loaded the base with nice ingredient, placed in in a wired basket and put it in the deep fat fryer š³ The result was disgusting and tasted of the pakora/onion beak is that had been fried in the oil previously!

the strangest thing i saw was a guy i knew who when we visited the local chippy would ask to drink the Vinegar from a big jar where pickled eggs were in. If it was empty he would drink the vinegar... itĀ“s giving me acid reflux just thinking about it.The chippy. Just watched that episode of Derry Girls again. Man thatās a funny show.

this is actually good, Bill Pearl (RIP) who passed recently would rise at 4am to train in his home gym & said the same thing to me on the phone..I get a lot of stuff done in the morning and I usually get all my work done before 2pm so I got the rest of the day to do whatever I want.
You're overcooking them. Absolutely. It's like steak. There are 5 degrees of doneness:- I hate any form of runny eggs. All of them. Those nasty sunny side up eggs with the in tact yokes?
You also get weird dishes where people will have a raw egg on top...? Que the Gordon Ramsay 'It's flocking raw!'. I always cook mine through. Not overcooked, but definitely not runny.
You, sir, are a monster.- I enjoy waking up early in the morning. Between the hours of 5am and 6am. I don't meet morning people a lot so this feels like a unpopular opinion. I get a lot of stuff done in the morning and I usually get all my work done before 2pm so I got the rest of the day to do whatever I want.
Think of it as a petting zoo...Pizza with tons of different meats. You got a whole zoo on your pizza
