Jaffa Cakes are great.

a few years ago they had a big legal battel to say if they were cakes or biscuits.

basickly cakes are not taxed but bisciuts are.

it was desided they were in deed cakes.

some fish and chip shops will fry sweets such as mars bars. some even will fry you a pizza (gross).

some will also give you scraps. these tend to be broken batter from the fish.

a few years ago if you got fish and chips it would be wrapped in newspaper. but sadly due to health and safty its served in nasty plastic boxes.

a lot of fish and chip shops have closed as they are so expensive. the price of fish is insane. a few years ago fish and chips (a fish supper as the scotish call it) cost under £2. But now its over £5.

Curry is now the most popular fast food.

I remember mcdonalds starting in the uk. it was the place to be seen, but these dsays its lost its lure, but still popular. though subways seems to be now the big place.

i think in the uk we have most (not all) usa fast food places and coffee shops.

The one thing I learned about the food when visiting Ireland was they had great Italian. I don't imagine English food is much better than Irish.

Depends where you are I guess. You can get a large variety of curries as well as literally any food you wish in Chicago. We are the capital of food and represent pretty much every nation, culture and yes, pallete!

Do you have hotdogs, hamburgers and apple pie? ;-) The US claim to fame has to be homestyle cooking as we call it. Breakfast with sausage, buttermilk biscuits, gravy, bacon, eggs and fried potatoes. Dinner (or supper as some call it) of meat and potatoes things like steak and baked potato with salad. Pork chops with green beans and red potatoes and corn. Ham and beans with cornbread. Fried catfish with hush puppies, fries and slaw. Barbecue ribs with the fixings. Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes, corn and green beans. Every region has their specialities.

I have tried Curry in most states including Chicago and believe me its not good curry. I must have tried at least 200 indian restaurants during the 16 years i lived in the USA but none match the taste i am used to in the UK. Traditional UK food is crap but over the last 30+ years Indian food has gained in popularity, i would not be surprised if it was not the number one food in the UK.

In India and the UK the heat or spicy-ness ? of a curry is not measured by a waiter asking would you like it hot from 1-10 that is so alien. The name of the curry dictates how hot it is. A Korma is mild a Jalfrazi or Karahi is mild to medium and a Vindaloo is hot'ish, if you want to burn your lips and make your eyes water then it would be a Phall. When i lived in India for a year i was saw how they cooked and prepared their currys, its way different to how they are prepared in the USA mainly because of the FDA.

Even curries made in the Uk aren't authentic by Indian standards, for example the most popular one in the UK is Chicken Tikka Masala but it's a completely English invention - they wouldn't even know what that is in India.

ShellyCrash · 01-30-2011, 10:51 AM

mmmm I think I may have indian tonight.

I don't normally get curries. Really all I need is poori or naan, a little indian pickle and some cucumber raita and I'm set.

My favorite sauce dish though is makhani. I think it's also the same as what you get if you order "butter chicken", the description is very similar anyway.

"One explanation of the origins of the dish is that it was conceived in either a British Pakistani or a British Bangladeshi restaurant by an Indian chef.

Rahul Verma, an Indian expert on street food from Delhi, has stated that the dish originated, probably by accident with subsequent improvisations, in Punjab during the last 50 years
A number of Indian chefs believe that it is merely a variation on an Indian dish known to the Mughal Emperors". We may never know ?

You can get Chicken Tikka Masala in Pakistan at the Sajjad Restaurant Karachi at least it was on the menu in August last year. But my point was that you can not get good Indian food in the USA, largely due to the FDA and the American palate

You can get them online but all the prices are well over the top, almost twice what you would pay in the UK. If she likes chocolate digestives then try Hob Nob's you can get them in milk and plain, to die for. My sister used to send me a box of 30 packs from the UK every month or two when i lived in the U.S.. Seriously addictive

Wasnt too bad actually, but even then malt vinegar would have been better.

What shit hole were you eating in that didn't offer ketchup for the fries? It's a standard condiment in Canada.

You can get pretty much everything mentioned. Pricey though!

A can of bad spaghetti in a crappy tomato sauce is not really worth almost 6 bucks, even for the sentimental value.

I do splash out for PG tips, HP brown sauce and Heinz Baked Beans though.
