Jynxx 4 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Man I'd be running straight to the dunny if I eat chiko rolls. The only thing I consider eating out of UK is ox tongue and tail. Roast with spuds, parsnips, and pumpkin and Yorkshire Pud. Mashed potato. The rest is garbage. I can't believe I grew up on tinned baked beans and birds-eye fish fingers... yuk.

foreversnow 5 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Excellent hangover food. Similar to a giant spring roll but with thicker pastry. The only things I could identify in them was carrot, barley and cabbage. VERY YUMMY!! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 And where are you from Jynxx? Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Went to preparatory school in Wimbledon. Rice pudding for desert At least it was better than the school lunch in Japan when I went back. Bowl of noodle soup, one bread roll and milk. I couldn't believe it. I asked what's for dessert. The Japanese kids all looked at me and I told them what it had been like for me and their jaws dropped. Ah, yeah, in japanese schools we sometimes had fried whale meat. Beef was expensive and that was a cheap source of protein then. Maybe that' s the reason Japanese can't give up on the taste of whale meat. I still have porrage for breakfast with salt.

2pints-mate 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sweet rice pudding is brilliant. My gran used to make a superb one with a nice 'skin' on the top. Yum. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 British food gets a bad rap but I love it! To say that everything else in the UK sucks is totally wrong. You said it yourself, your mum gave you Fish Fingers (nothing wrong with baked beans my good man), there is plenty other good food to keep you away from fish fingers. I was telling my girlfriend about rice pudding and she thinks the idea of sweet rice is disgusting...I love rice pudding!! My gran used to make baked rice pudding and it had that lovely almost burnt sugar skin on it...amazing!! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sorry but real British food - the proper real meat and veg stuff, is awesome! Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ok. I admit I am not being fair. But I had real oven baked beans in Kentucky USA and I felt cheated I've been eating beansmeans H. In Australia they have yummy fish'n chips and NZ is even better! Not that news paper wrapped stuff in UK. Aussie hamburgers with The whole lot (betroot ,eggs, bacon, pinapple) beats wimpy's and macca's anytime. I'm not insulting family cooking. My friend Mcdougal's wife is a British chef and I learnt a lot from her. I even had Welsh blood pudding for X'mas. Thought it was OK. But you got to admit food quality is not so good in the UK. I would't like to order a T-bone there. Aussie organic grass fed beef from may mate (butcher!) It's good to have a friend who is a butcher. Sorry I am complaining. Bead is disappointing in UK, Australia and Japan. German bread is one of the best in the world! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Sorry jynnx but you're talking sh*t . Have you ever tried Aberdeen angus beef? Bread? The UK has so many different types and styles of bread it's unbelievable. Anyone that insults another countries cuisine, saying silly things like you did, doesn't deserve to eat food. They should be sat down and forced to eat McD all their life. Crikey don't know what to say or do now after your bombshell. Just hope you never cook for me Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Macca's !! noooooo But seriously Rob. You take a risk eating Fugu (blowfish) ? Eating UK beef is like gambling with getting Mad cow disease, no? Tell me more about UK bread. When I am in Australia, you get rows and rows of white bread and multigrain and wholemeal but it's all similar stuff. You press it in your hands and it's like sponge!..

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 UK bread? Loads of it. What do you want? Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm not talking about different shapes in white, wholemeal, wheatmeal. All similar texture. None of this toast sliced or sandwich sliced crap. Different combination in ingredients, and good black bread. There probably are hundred types of bread here. I'll go down to a bakery and least there's 20 different black breads, 20 different rolls, not including Italian bread. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 God - in the UK we have - wholemeal - wholegrain - brown - white - loaves - baguettes - bagels - rolls - ciabatta - foccacia - crusty rolls - pumpernickel - rye bread - german style there's loads! Go into your local bakery and check. We have lots of British style bread, and some of the best from around the world. And yes, I do eat fugu, because like good beef anywhere around the world, you need a license to prepare it correctly, unless you live out in the sticks.
