Ella can go &^%# herself with a frozen corndog.
Hey Ella, No one who matters, (that would be US) gives a crap what you think.
You and the rest of your brit food snobs can go pound sand.
AMERICAN FOOD RULES
AMERICANS FIRST
the cheesecake factory is a great restaurant. If britain had a restaurant that served food as good as the stuff in c.f. then perhaps there would be less complaints about their food.
the europeans are jealous of everything america does.
You haven't had Amish noodles, fried chicken, roast turkey and beef, three-bean salad and creamed corn. Then again, there is salad, but most everyone knows salad. Or maybe a good burger or steak? How about some scallops or shrimp? Or maybe some berries? Care for some mashed potatoes? What about some pie? Sugar pie, strawberry-rhubarb pie, blackberry pie, Dutch apple pie, cherry pie, peach pie, blueberry pie, shoo fly pie, lemon meringue pie, banana cream pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie? American food isn't good?
‘Just the turkey, please.’
‘The dish comes that way.’
‘But I only want the turkey, thanks.’
‘I’m sorry, miss, that’s not possible.’
‘But I know you’ve got grilled turkey — it says so right here.’
‘That’s our Grilled Turkey Sandwich, miss. Our Grilled Turkey’s on our dinner menu.’
‘But surely you can just remove the bread?’
‘No — I’m sorry. Like I told you before, the Grilled Turkey Sandwich comes with the bread.’
‘You make it sound like it’s born with the bread.’
Yeah right, isn't that scene from easy riders?
The solution is simple. Don't come to America.
Food For Thought...or maybe not
Yummmmmmm!
Real Food!
Hmmmm. No contest.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
American food is whatever you want it to be: Italian-American, Thai-American, Chinese-American, Mexacali&Tex-Mex-American, etc..
Lady is harping on American pop culture more than our food, our world-influence rather than a crappy trip to the local Boston Market Restaurant.
I have a big appetetite, yet cheesecake is one thing that never fails to fill me up quickly. A real cheesecake is one of the most filling foods you can find, so it is absurd to suggest that anyone would eat an entire cheesecake.
Stupid Brit, you are not supposed to eat the wax ones!
Is this criticism or a sarcastic complement? Cause this is making me want one. Also why is she calling a cheese cake American food? Thought it was German or French?

Tripe anyone? |
Lol! The British eat "bangers" and "spotted dick".
'Nuff said.
Do Americans eat Twinkees anymore????? I won't even buy that stuff for my children. Occasionally, I have a craving for a Little Debbie snack cake, and hubby likes the oatmeal cream pies, but we avoid that kind of garbage except maybe a couple of times a year. We've never eaten at the Cheesecake Factory because it sounds like a dessert place, and we just don't seek out expensive cheesecake when we can make our own or buy a cheap one at Sam's. We ate shepherd's pie for dinner last night because hubby likes the occasional bland food. (I am no fan of shepherd's pie even when hubby spices it up, and he apologetically asked if we could have it for dinner last night. I obliged.) There are a zillion varieties of bread at grocery stores because there are a zillion ethnicities of people in this country. Different folks like different kinds of bread. Figure out what you like and buy it. Or make it yourself.
I love the variety of foods available in the US. I grew up on Southern cookin', and I'm perfectly happy with it. I especially love Cajun foods, and New Mexican (yes, NEW Mexican and not Mexican) food ranks right at the top of my favorite list.
Time to go fix lunch.

I read recently that Britain is the second-fattest industrialized nation, and gaining fast, so a little humility is probably called for here.
I don't read the Spectator all that much, but from what little I've seen it appears to be a more classically European Tory sort of conservative journal, with all of the skepticism of/contempt for the common man and the democratic leveling of opportunity that makes him possible that is such a feature of American conservatism. This article appears to be of that type.
Snail is good if cooked right. Cooked being the operative word here. This little chicky doesn't do raw fish. GROSS!
