^ Leave the jokes to Bogon, mate.

Bing Crosby, not Frank Sinatra.

He released an LP called 'Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings' in the 1950's.

Which is when that gag started doing the rounds, most likely.

So, just the 70 years old.

The internet was invented by a British bloke, so, effectively, yeah.

Were it not for the sustenance provided by baked beans, crisp butties and the Great British curry , we would not be having this conversation today.

Therefore, it's not only fapping; we have British cuisine to thank for the existence of TD!

He's in Eastern Europe and day dreaming about British food

I'm back home now.

Anyone who thinks British food is crap hasn't sampled traditional British food.

Goose beats turkey hands down as a roast bird and better still are the traditional pheasant and partridge recipes. I also love pigeon as a starter.

You can't beat Welsh lamb raised on the salt marshes, better even than Brittany lamb.

There are so many great fish recipes that it's difficult to single any out but Salmon poached in red wine with oranges is a family favourite.

I've had some good food in the States but I wouldn't say it was anything special. There's no comparison when it comes to milk and cheese. God knows what Seppos do with their milk but it just doesn't taste the same.

To get a decent meal in New Zealand one has to hit up the Asian shops and cook at home. What is considered fine dining here in reality is retarded Anglo-Irish interpretations of Mediterranean cuisine.

Me too however unless radical climate change since I Was in England the red wine and oranges are not British the salmon likely Scottish

Of course fine dining or DIY possible but compared to Swiss Alsatian Austrian, Danish Italian Basque French or Japanese most food I have been served in England was stodge swill or just inedible.

Not a lot pheasant and partridge on Roadkill Night at Spooners!!

One thing you’ll never hear a sane person say outside of the UK.....

Let’s go out to a British restaurant.

I don't think I've ever said that either.

I have said "let's go to the pub for a few beers and something to eat" though.

Which millions of sane people do every day in Britain and in British pubs around the world.

I mean, it's no McDonald's, but...

Cheese in a Cornish pastie? Phillistine!

All this talk of crisp butties and I can't believe anyone is yet yo suggest a flavour.

Controversial...but I'll go first...

1, walkers cheese and onion
2, pringles salt and vinegar
3, beef monster munch

Top that fvckers!!!

I concur!

The best post in this thread thus far, apart from mine.

The salmon recipe originates from Elizabethan times but have to admit British chef was trained in France. The Two Fat Ladies cooked it in one of their episodes. As for the wine, you forget England owned Bordeaux back in the 15th century.

Pheasant and partridge is still served in Norfolk and Lincs as is pigeon. However, British food is more commonly home cooked.
