Hurmph!
I am a little cheesed off about one aspect of life in North America. Canadians and Yanks bemoaning English food. Apparently they think we all eat puddings made from squirrels, blood and lungs or something and that all English food is terrible.
Yeah, whatever! You lot put fucking sugar in/on everything. Maple syrup sausages with sugar on them and fruit salad all on one plate. Are you nuts? And how much sugar and syrup do you put in your coffee as well? No wonder nearly the entire population of the continent is diabetic.
Also, don't slag off a nation's food when you haven't even tried it. Pasties kick calzone (I know it's originally Italian) in the nads, and the less said about fucking (makes heaving sound) pumpkin pie the better. Jelly Babies shit in the face of Gummy Bears and perogies are like slimy, stodgy globs of mucus, but with less flavour.
Also, I have to say that 10 different types of burger/pizza/hotdogs does not make your cuisine anything to brag about.
I LOVE root beer though, so it's not all bad. I love pizza and the flavoured coffees I can get at 7 Eleven are awesome so I'll let you off. Oh, and you're right about black pudding - it's gross!

I concur Mr Bob.
Although white pudding seems alot much more worserer than black pudding.
I hope you and Gee start an English cookery evening class over there and spread the word on "toad in the hole" , yorkshire pudding and bubble and squeak.

A nation's cuisine is defined by what they had available to eat.
In Canada, we had maple syrup.
In England, you had sheep's organs.
We all got diabetes, and you all got gout and in the end none of us had any toes.

Taoski - Oh! Toad in the Hole. I forgot that one. Man that's good eatin'
Anthony - Yes, if there's one thing that unites us all, it's our lake of toes. I'm sure the Scottish could make something out of maple syrup and sheep's lungs - what with their love of all things sugary and offally.

Lack of toes, not lake. Makes me sound like Ted Bundy or something.

I think Lake of toes sounds much better!

You never had my grandma's pierogies.
And I find it ironic that you complain about the sugar on one hand then extol its virtues in flavored coffee on the other.
But pasties are delicious. Anything wrapped in dough is delicious.

i thought pasties were what strippers wore...I'm not a very adventurous eater, apparently.
