    British Food Taking Over the US!

    Americans are only just learning about crisp butties – and Brits are astonished - Mirror Online

    For our seppo friends, now that you are embracing our fine cuisine, there are three golden rules for the perfect crisp butty:

    The bread must always be white, don't be shy with the butter and the crisps are the filling.

    Mate, there is no "claiming." Without us you'd still be pulling your plonker over your mum's knicker and bra catalogues.

    And we're showing you how to do things properly with the crisp butty. As is the British way when it comes to our fine cuisine.

    No we are not. As others have said, there is no such thing as fine British cuisine. It's crap. And that butt crispy deal is an example and it explains why us Mercans are just finding about it. It's crap and we have no interest.

    British food is so delicious because most of the best stuff was developed under a time of war.

    It tastes of British stuff upper lip, hardship and the strength of an island nation carrying on as they save the world from those ghastly Germans.

    Had a mate who put some mint sauce on his Sunday roast. His missus dived in to nick a sneaky roast potato. She spat it out and said "You put f*^king toothpaste on your dinner!"

    Not sure Walkers will triumph in a nation of drivers.

    German food from the Wiener hotdog to the ubiquitous Hamburger seems to be doing better .

    In fact Snubby is one of the few who serve tripe a la mode.

    Perhaps Landreth has sampled the jellied eel the wrong way round but hard to argue with his analysis.

    I've lived in Florida full of Italian Chinse Mexican and Cuban delights, but I never saw an English restaurant. there may be in tourist MickeyMouse land but didn't look.

    Scottish delights travel but English disney
