Takes a lot of crust for a Brit complain about Yank food.
Yeah, but our teeth are much better, so there!
This writer is a twit who has her panties in a twist.
What a contrived topic. She may have spent some years here, but I did the same in the UK. Now I can tell you that they can turn out some real crap too. So what? One just has to be a little discriminating, in any part of the world.
If one knew what one was doing, the food in the UK was quite good. The same statement can be made about the states or any other place.
As opposed to England, where you can get fish n' chips, or fish n' chips, or for a unique treat, fish n' chips.
My argument makes absolutely as much sense as hers.
When you eat bone marrow pie ya know you're in England
No wonder this guy doesn't understand. That crap is not US comfort food. Guess he's never had, good ol' American chicken and dumplings, fried catfish and hushpuppies, smoked baby back ribs or even just plain old pinto beans, cornbread, fried taters with green onions and a jalapeno on the side.
Do you want mushy peas with your Whine?

Poor British twit, if it wasn't for us she'd be brunching on wurst and viener schnitzel. (Both of which taste a lot better than British food)
They're called "spices" and "garlic", and the Brits should look into them.
This from a woman who probably eats kidney pie.
‘But surely you can just remove the bread?’
So, apparently the author was incapable of removing the turkey for between the bread herself.
Lol, if American food is so bad.. why is it making it's way all over the world?

Wrong. You left out the curry houses. There are more Indian restaurants in London than in Bombay.
This writer goes way over the top...I disagree with her. You can eat very well in America, you just have to know where to go - and in that, it's like anyplace else. What is certainly true is that your wallet is more likely to be fuller after an American meal than a European one.

I don't know how that would make them healthier and happier but oh well. Its funny how my Brit friends who have been in America for some time drink cold Coors or Bud and love burgers and fries. As far as his comment on American steaks, he is a lying sack. Maybe he had sirloin at Luby's.
My Brit friends will drink hot tea when its 105 degrees and tell me its refreshing. When one says words like "y'all" or "fixin'" the others will give them a dirty look. It's funny.
And isn't "squab" actually a fancy name for the nasty vermin we call "pigeon"?
This twit's obviously never had good barbeque.
My husband's mother taught me how to make chicken potatoes and dumplings and all of his favorite dishes. I've improved all the recipes and they are better than ever. I'd never had it until I met him, great stuff!
