Mario Addison gets his first taste of British food

[jayflip]

Wtf of happening in this thread?

 Anyway, fun segment. The weird traditional national foods are always a blast. Regional, too food here is even weird AF. 
 

i mean, just imagine some high profile European FC coming to the states and eating Skyline Chili or some wack ass Texas Frito Pie. Or A half gallon cup of Bojangles Sweet Tea. Even delicious chicken and waffles.

Here's an idea @1of10Charnatives Why don't you jump on a plane to London? Go to a pub and give a speech outlining your views about English food  When the locals come over for a chat you can respond with a joke. See where freedom of speech gets you.

    lol You know this place has become toxic when even a food thread leads to a donnybrook.

Yeah this is the equivalent of feeding an Englishman souse and livermush. The UK has great food. 

Get a curry or go to a chip shop.

I went to school in the UK and couldn't wait for the Sunday meal. Even had black pudding which I liked.

Fish and chips are so bad over here. In the UK they have chippies dedicated to good fish and chips. It's so good even with mushy peas. Over here fish and chips is a throw away meal given no attention. Kind of like how we have so many wing places.

Shepherds pie is pretty damn good...

Pass.

That would be going way out of my way to arbitrarily try to start an argument. Based on this thread that is more your department than mine. After all your words, what you have yet to do is explain why the Twain quote would give offense to a reasonable person. You invoked Kipling precisely because you knew it wouldn't, so you attempted to conflate an innocuous joke with racism and sexism in an attempt to make your position seem reasonable and smear me unfairly with unfavorable associations.

Your position is untenable because it proceeds from a premise that it is my duty to never say anything that *might* offend someone else, however seemingly harmless that might be. It twists the old saying that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all to an extreme in order to wag a finger at people saying things that no reasonable person is offended by. Reasonable people are offended by racism and sexism, they aren't offended by offhand jokes about toilet paper.

I’ve long maintained a list of ways to spot aliens pretending to be human. People who claim to like liver is on the list. Watch em close, they ain’t from this planet.

I love liver. Guess I’m an alien. You gotta get it done right though. Yakitori style, just cooked. With a little Yuzu Kyushu & wasabi or Sansho, Torogashi and salt. ((if I had to pick an organ though I’d always go hearts))

Overcooked liver is blah. 

((I’ve eaten everything he ate there. The scotch egg kinda threw me off, guess he doesn’t like hard boiled eggs that much. I was gonna say jellied eel was gonna be the one that threw him the most))

*grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays Harbinger with foam*

*stops and sets the fire extinguisher down as a foam covered Harbinger looks ready to wring his neck*

Ummmm...

sorry about that. Guess I kind of panicked there for a minute.

*looks around awkwardly avoiding eye contact.*

So...how about that local sports team?

*backs away slowly*

Look ummm, why don’t I just go and get you a towel?

 

(Kidding aside I’d be willing to give that a try. Maybe I’ve only ever had overlooked liver, who knows?)

I always tell people the thing with french food is the stuff on the side. Their cheese, bread, wine, and sauces are world class. Nothing is better. That's where the flavor comes from. Yeah, you don't have these massive dishes, but you can get a cheese baguette on the street and a 2 dollar bottle of red wine from a store and its the best thing you've ever had. 

tbh gun to my head best food ive ever had was in buenos aires. nothing but bread, beef,  and malbec. only number that went up higher than the scale was my deadlift. 

 

This is 100% true.  The preparation of the French food was good, not Earth shattering, but good.

However, the bread, cheese and wine....as well as the sauces like you said were fantastic.  The wine especially.

Stop at a little street side cafe and order some bread, cheese, and a glass of whatever the hell they recommend, and you will be happy.

Also, this thread went to hell quick.

Totally disagree, but to each their own, it's why I love cooking so much.

Seafood is my go to....Spanish and Souther Italy is my jam.
