"Bad food, bad weather, Mary Poppins, you know, London?"
Bad food? But I like fish \'n chips! :D
He forgot to mention bad teeth! :p
-
I\'ve actually wondered that myself...
So, how about it, lads? Is British food really that bad? I heard you limeys can\'t get enough curry these days... ;)
-
well to be honest food aint that bad, i mean there isnt many british foods, the only i can think of is roast dinner, yeah i love curry and chinese, i just guess its people taste, i mean if you are used to something , and come to our country (england) things ma be done different, and you dont like it!!! its not that bad though, wheather in winter is wet, but it may be cold but never really really cold, but it does get hot , but not really really hot!!! and i dont have bad teeth

Hmm, I spent a month in UK some years ago, and to tell you the truth, the food was not too good, but not disgusting either. The family always served peas :( And pie of some kind. And the desserts were kinda funny.
-
Do you guys (other than in USA or CA) have Buffalo wings (or hot wings)? I swear, EVERY restaurant here in Buffalo has them. No exceptions. In fact, I drove by the place that invented them yesterday. you can get some from there FedEX\'d to anywhere.
http://www.anchorbar.com they\'re pretty good, but I think they\'re responsible for all the fat asses around here... :D

"Bad food, bad weather, Mary Poppins, you know, London?"
The quote is \'bad food, worse weather...\'!! not to be picky or anythin!!
The food is good, the weather is worse up north (where i live) than in London, its not too bad tho.
Yeah we have hot wings, doesnt everywhere?

50 Wings....................... $69.00
100 Wings................... $115.00
150 Wings................... $165.00
Holy cow that place is expensive. And I ssume shipping is another 10-20 bucks as well.

Now, now, vid. Aren\'t you being a little hard? :rolleyes:
Actually, if you break it down, it\'s like $13.80 per order of 10, and shipping is included.... I don\'t think many people besides tourists go there anyway. It\'s on Main St. (complete wasteland) and on the east side to boot. (ghetto border) Lots of joints have good wings, like http://www.lanova.com they\'re right around the corner from me. (and I think its owned by the Mob, but you didn\'t hear that from me.... :eek:

Heh...sorry if I sounded that way, but in fact, I\'ve heard from a few Americans who\'ve been to London and they mentioned that they didn\'t care too much for the food. And then I recalled that quote from "Snatch" (one of my favorite movies) and they pretty much agreed with the quote.
So I decided to ask you Londoners. :)
Now.....I know I\'m used to the foods I eat here and may not like the foods there. That is possible. But I\'ve had foods from many ethnic backgrounds and I pretty much liked them all. I\'m sure I\'d probably like your roasted squab (pigeon for us Americans :) ). And I\'m one of the few here who actually likes liver. :p
