Only had chicken tostadas, ex gf made em one night. They were loving incredible. Pico de gallo, mexican-styled sour cream (Crema?) and lime juice with shredded cheese of some sort. Refried beans too I think, hadnt had those beans served in a non-canned way before. loving fantastic, best meal in recent memory. Thats the extent of my excursion into Mexican foods. Hope you enjoyed my culinary journey!!!

How was that one a mystery? wikipedia tells me starrey gazey is an alternative name because everything in england was named by 8-year-old children i guess joke's on you guys, you brag about your pakoras and doners while being racist as gently caress against all the immigrants who are pushing you out of your awful loving country

I had regular mild Taco Sauce and it was basically just tomato soup I poured onto my taco and I was very unsettled. I can't imagine what extra mild would be like, very unsettling.

Honest question, how do you even eat that fish pie thing? Do you choke it down like a pelican or do oyu just tear into the fish with your hands, spraying pie everywhere? It looks like a practical joke

According to wiki it looks like that so the fish oil will drain into the pie. I've never had it but I presume that like most pies you just cut it up and serve it on plates and eat with a knife and fork, and try not to eat any fish bones/heads.

I mean I've been to baltimore and eaten crab. It was alright. Cromer crabs were far better. I got the hint of eating a proper crab that I remembered from the norfolk coast in america, just with less taste.

Sorry I should have clarfified. When I said "sausages in pancake batter", I'm talking English pancake batter which is simply flour, eggs and milk. I've had those "sausages in pancakes on a stick" in the US, and they are horrifically sweet. Our pancakes are savoury (although you can have them with sweet foods). And, not unique to the UK, but we have a whole day dedicated to eating pancakes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday

Lonely Virgil posted:why do brits like canned baked beans so much? From wiki: Heinz baked beans became very successful as an export to the UK, where canned baked beans are now a staple food. In America, the H. J. Heinz Co. continue to sell baked beans, however, they are not always as widely distributed as competing American brands. Despite their international fame, there are currently substantial differences between the Heinz baked beans produced for the UK market (descended from the original American recipe) and the nearest currently equivalent American product (Heinz Premium Vegetarian Beans).

A lot of national dishes in europe are just very slight variations on what you can find anywhere else in europe (basically boils down to inventing a new type of sausage/cheese/beer). A lot of people do get really confused about the concept of putting meat in pastry, though.General China posted:Its not real food. Nobody eats it. p sure that jellied eel dish is just a thing people say to take the piss out of cockneys.

lol at all this imaginary food Great British actual food = mince and pasta (aka spaghetti bolognese, pronounced boll-o-naise)/mince and tatties (it's mince and pasta but you swap the chopped tomatoes for gravy powder and a splash of boiling water, and the pasta for new/baked potatoes, hth) curry sausage and chips fish and chips chinese sometimes a pie like a steak and ale pie (never stargazy pie) sometimes a salad roast dinner about once a month at most unless you still live with a weird family and have it every week or something Great British breakfast = cereal toast nothing nothing except a coffee nothing except a cigarette and a coffee v.v. rarely a Full Scottish/English/Irish breakfast/Ulster Fry. I am unsure if the Welsh have their own one, who cares really, fake country.
