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.

I read that Budweiser is outselling Guiness in Ireland!

They have been in America TOO damn long if they prefer to drink that watery piss . English food may not excite the average American , but their beer/ale/stout/whatever is the REAL deal !

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.

Any such "Brit" must have a mental disorder.

So how does Luby's take the sirloin part of the cow and suck the flavor out of it? Or do they buy their sides of beef pre-sucked?
