I am now hopelessly coveting those lamb and mint flavo(u)r chips. I love lamb chops in mint apple jelly, but somehow I doubt these will be showing up in my local grocery store. Curse you for posting that image! :-D
I think it is the ‘effort’ to get the food, used by cows and wolves that makes the difference in their weight. Exercise matters.
Lived in London from ‘69-’71. Worst food in the Western world.
Who can forget the “Wimpy Bar?” Absolutely the lousiest excuse for a hamburger on the planet. About a 3 OZ patty of mystery meat with a few onions on top. No sauce, no seasoning, no nothing. But, they were cheap and open all night.
Spam spam spam. What a classic. I still like the Dead Parrot bit at the Pet Shop. It’s not dead, it’s just resting! Or the Ministry of Silly Walks. What a great show. Oh, The LumberJack Song!
I wouldn’t touch Spam with a ten foot pole now, but mom sometimes fried it up with eggs when I was a poor white child. (Ode to Steve’s Martin’s “The Jerk” “I was born a poor black child...).
English food is scary. Watching Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares has shown what they have to offer. Seems like a lot of the time they end up making dishes from other countries where they know good food, by the time Gordon is done fixing their menus. I went to Germany last fall, first trip there, and loved all bakery items, all potato dishes, found they ate way too much meat, they drank only bottled water, even at home. All in all, the food was great. Just too carnivorous for me. They ate coldcuts, cheese and pickles for breakfast. That was gross. But at hotels, there was always wonderful buffets of many items, American and German, high quality too. My fav, the breads. Yum. We walked so much, I managed to not gain a pound in the 10 days we were there. Germans were nice. Autobahn was neat. Went real real fast. Had a good native driver. English food still sucks! They all look so unhealthy on BBC shows.
Lemon Curry?
Now that IS xenophobia!
