Takes a lot of crust for a Brit complain about Yank food.

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.

...their longing for US comfort food — beefburgers, hotdogs, cookies, tacos and dairy queen ice cream...

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.

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.

I tell them that American food is overrated, unhealthy and revolting,

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.

We could form a food think tank to wean the US off sugar and on to snails, squid and sushi. It would make us all healthier — and happier

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"?

I have to agree with her on Cheesecake Factory - they give you enough to feed Kerry's entire team of image consultants. One of the few restaurants where I usually have to walk away with 1/3 to 1/2 of the meal uneaten.

Control freak. Food Marxist. Her culinary education is sorely lacking and void of variety.

She didn't even have the intelligence to remove the bread from her unwanted turkey sandwich. Ignorance or pomposity?

how do you get your mouth around something that’s nearly as big as your head?

Yet another sign of British inadequacy.........but that's a topic for another thread on a different forum.

British cuisine may be considered bland but at least, by and large, you know what you’re putting in your mouth.

Yes, it's called POOP. Outside of Shephard's Pie , chips, and Guiness, local cuisine in England doth sucketh. Input anyone? I'm sorta still shocked I've actually read an article from a Brit criticizing our food....

BEEBER to the SAF list!

The Cheesecake Factory , has other foods besides Cheesecake...what is this person's problem, if he does not want Cheesecake he should not be in a Cheesecake factory.

Once in the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant, in the Atrium Mall in Newton, Massachusetts, I noticed that all of the customers who frequented the Restaurant were far from being plump, or obese. I have eaten at the Cheesecake factory, numerous times, and never even ordered Desert.

This person should defintely stay in Britian and eat Kidney pie, butter shortbread, blood pudding and beer.
