What a goober. No pun intended of course
You'll find though that certain types of beer are always chilled, such as lagers.

We visited England in April.
I was curious to see what was on TV. The very first thing I saw on British television was a commercial for KFC.
Then, there were the MacDonalds, Burger King ads.
After that, I watched Scooby Doo.
It was pretty embarassing. I told anyone who would listen that they're NOT getting the true picture of American cuisine.
After all, we have the world's best pizza right here in the NY Metro area!
(I'm waiting for Chicago to check in...)
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, sausage, etc...
It sounds like this twit is clamoring for socialism's food shortages, lack of choice, and soup lines.
Yeah, but what a way to go, yummm.
BLACK PUDDING FROM SCRATCH (ENGLISH) Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Pork
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/4 qt Fresh pig's blood 8 7/8 oz Bread cut into cubes 1 1/4 qt Skim milk 1 lb Cooked barley 1 lb Fresh beef suet 8 oz Fine oatmeal 1 t Salt 2 ts Ground black pepper 2 ts Dried and crumbled mint
Put the bread cubes to soak in the milk in a warm oven. Do not heat the milk beyond blood temperature! Have the blood ready in a large bowl, and pour the warm milk and bread into it. Stir in the cooked barley. Grate the beef suet into the mixture and stir it up with the oatmeal. Season with the salt, pepper and mint.
Have ready 2 or three large roasting pans. Divide the mixture between them ~- they should not be more than 3/4 full. Bake in a moderate oven -- 350 F ~- for about an hour or until the pudding is well cooked through. This makes a beautifully light pudding which will keep well in a cold larder.>
Cut into squared and fry till heated through and the outside is crisp, in bacon fat or butter. Delicious for breakfast, or for supper with fried apples and mashed potato.
In 1981 I spent two weeks in Britain. After two days of eating Fish and Chips, I began to seek out Chinese food restaurants. I have to thank the enterprising Chinese for being everywhere to save the white man from the tasteless swill that came out of Old Mother England.
As they say in Boston, ain't that a pissah? The last time I was in London (July of 2001) I was pretty stunned that Budweiser was being marketed to the young twenty-somethings as a fine American Import. Not Sam Adams, not Anchor Steam, not even freakin' Rolling Rock -- but Bud.
And this broad is clucking US under our chins for our pedestrian tastes. Yeesh.
No doubt the English have good beer, but when you've been in the hot Texas sun all day where its 90 to 105 degrees, cold beer like Coors Light or Bud Light are what the doctor ordered NOT a Boddingtons.
Ya, and steak and kidney pie, too.
I'll never forget biting down on that nice spongy chunk of kidney.
True enough. I homebrew, and have never made lagers, which are even brewed in refrigeration. All my ales have been served chilled, as per my 'merkan nature. ;-)
Thanks for the quick reply!
Probably due to not having a wealth of things to choose from like we do.
When dining out, one never expects the Spanish Inquisition.
I almost understood her point till she said "squid, sushi, and snails..." Ugh. I'm not a seafood fan.
My wife and I make decent meals all the time. What's so f--king complicated?
" No doubt the English have good beer, but when you've been in the hot Texas sun all day where its 90 to 105 degrees, cold beer like Coors Light or Bud Light are what the doctor ordered NOT a Boddingtons. "
Of course a lager hits the spot on certain occasions , but Bud / Coors LIGHT ain't the way to go . Try a Kirin Lager or Labatts or ...

They're right and I do the same thing (except I usually drink hot chocolate instead of tea). It sounds counter-intuitive but its true - a small amount of a hot beverage when its hot seems to trick your body into feeling cooler in hot weather.
