XMNN posted:p much all beer comes in 440 or 568 ml cans here. the only 330 ml cans ive seen are imported american hipster ipas and theyre dead expensive so ive never bothered trying them That's funny because here in America the hipster IPAs are primarily sold in single bottles of... [looks at conversion chart] 650 ml bottles (22 ounces) You can get a sixer of 12 ounce IPA, but it's generally mass produced crap. The good stuff comes in four-packs or single 22 oz bottles. I think Pliny the Elder comes in 16.9 oz bottles. So if you buy a six pack, it's 15 ounce (440 ml) cans?

Because I moved to the UK from Canada, I am uniquely qualified to speak on this subject, as I have both the necessary contempt for American processed food and refusal to adopt the metric system, and the initial stereotype of British food being terrible. The truth is, British food became good over the past 15 years or so. More importantly, like America, it just steals other culture's cuisines anyway. Kebab, however, is poo poo, from at least 90% of the places that serve it. Go to Ottawa, Montreal, or New York, get a real Lebanese shawarma plate or sandwich and you will realise this. Putting processed donair meat, some liquidy mayo that's been sat out all day, a handful of iceberg lettuce, anaemic chili sauce, and a few slivers of tomato in a pita does not make a good middle eastern meal. I haven't even encountered proper toum apart from at Yalla Yalla or expensive places in Shepherd's Market. Both the US and UK obviously have world class chefs and restaurants. In the UK, they just happen to be concentrated into a much smaller space. British beer, mustard, bangers, cheese, etc are all top tier. The pickles (gherkins) are awful however. Stop putting sugar in them. I have to go to eastern European delis to get decent pickles. I also can't understand why Strongbow was the vanguard for ciders entering other markets. In Canada, for the longest time, the only cider was Strongbow. That stuff is sugar water for brain-dead chavs. There are so many legitimately good west country dry ciders with 7%+ a.b.v. that actually taste like a thing a grown-up would drink. I look forward to the day I can get Aspall Premier Cru on a patio in Canada. I can also confirm that British colloquialism is universally terrible. It uses a system of infantile simplest most salient feature or use to refer to things, or weird child proto-language. The only thing that can be said in its defence is that at least it isn't as bad as Australian slang. Note that some of these are regional (because a country of only 243,610 sq. km somehow has regions, most of which hate each other and all of which hate London) Remembrance Day -> Poppy Day Exit -> Way Out Garbage can -> Bin (regular sugar-containing) Coke -> Full-fat Coke Any kind of dessert -> Pudding Literally anything -> bits  gently caress bits. When I first saw this I was in shock. It goes all the way to the top, people. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go drink a glass of big boy orange juice with pulp.

(I have never heard half the supposed colloquialisms that get brought out in these threads) I am also sorry that your country is new and fake, have you considered splitting into a few dozen warring kingdoms for a few hundred years?

Don't say like "Taco Bell" or some other poo poo like that, no, that's a thing run by a large firm, not an independent motley, browbeaten handful of refugees getting charged out of the arse for an eight-inch diameter rod of compacted dog by wholesalers who'll rat them out to immigration if they even think about swapping suppliers.

Yeah it sounds like that guy has come over here and got a job where the only other employees are the British equivalent of hillbillys. Ive heard people call regular coke full fat coke before and they are always retards.

That "British section" looks about as bad as the few shops I've seen selling American food which usually amounts to a bunch of Oreo variants, butterfingers (which rule) and cans of drink. Stupidly one of the biggest sellers one shop I know had was Pepsi throwback which as far as I know is just Pepsi sweetened with sugar instead of HFCS, it's stupid because normal Pepsi is sweetened with sugar in the UK.

I work in a branding agency in central London so I don't think this explains it. Our MD is the one who said full-fat though...not denying he may also be a retard. Dzhay posted:There's probably something in this: places that see a dish as an exotic novelty are going to put a lot more effort in to things than those that see it as "that thing we've been serving to drunk people for the last 40 years". It's not an exotic novelty in Canada either - the shawarma places are cheap takeaways open until 4am where you get a monstrous amount of food for the equivalent of £8. They just tend to make and serve it the way they like it, with fattoush salad, tabbouleh, hummus, toum, pickled turnips, rice pilaf, etc, whereas in the UK I find ethnic cuisine tends to cater to the perceived palate of British people (adding chips). Your standard shawarma takeaway in Canada is very similar to Yalla Yalla only with big combo plates instead of individual small dishes. I think the 40 years aspect is closer to the reason - kebab predates the British culinary revolution and may be largely vestigial. Dzhay posted:No-one says "poppy day", maybe you just know children?

I do appreciate the history and context of cultural variation across the UK, but there's a difference between warring over succession, and Londoners thinking northerners are ignorant and have a chip on their shoulder, while northerners think Londoners are posh twats.
