Not just Americans, i had fish and chips last time i was in London and i do not get your vinegar religion

[RelentlessOblivion]

hmmm perhaps it's an acquired taste then oh all of a sudden I'm remembering this fantastic pizza I had a couple of years back that literally tasted like someone had taken a great burger and turned it into a pizza, and now I need pizza

[BlutAusNerd]

now I really want fish and chips' date=' with plenty of vinegar, which coincidentally is something else Americans can't get right [/quote'] I just had some excellent halibut fish & chips a couple of weeks ago, it was at one of the brew pubs in town with the best food, even if their beer is somewhat lacking. I did try an interesting one while I was there though, a chocolate chili porter, and their Elephino IPA is a kick in the mouth, it tastes like chewing on a pine cone (in a good way, as all of you hop heads out there know).

Not just Americans' date=' i had fish and chips last time i was in London and i do not get your vinegar religion [/quote'] My dad would happily proselytize for such a theology. Interestingly, he also loves ketchup, which as everyone knows is the American denomination of Condimentarianism. That's because we don't try. Besides, anyone should know that South Africa makes the best fish and chips owing to their having the best fish: snoek!

[RelentlessOblivion]

a fish not unique to South Africa, we also get it in Australia and you are quite correct it is fantastic, though personally I find Tasmanian Salmon to be the best fish in the world

Ok lets start with beer My favourites are Fuller's ales: ESB, Indian Pale Ale, 1845, London Pride, Golden Pride, Fuller's Vintage Ale, Old Winter ale... I actually love many of their ales. If I like to get drunk, typical finnish beer is good enough for that lol I like red wine too. Of the grape varieties I usually pick Cabernet Sauvignon. then food.. I like many types: Italian, Greek,Spanish, Mexican, US, Chinese, Thai.. My favourite restaurant is in Rome: La Taverna Italiana. Their lasagne and pizza were both delicious! When in italian restaurant I usually just order pizza. Otherwise some fillet of beef, medium or medium- done with dripping blood of course \m/ And barbeque is always great!

I'm more of a sushi guy when it comes to fish, with the many varieties of tuna, yellowtail, and escolar being my favorites.

[RelentlessOblivion]

yeah I'll pass on the sushi thanks, not my idea of good food

[BlutAusNerd]

It's definitely an acquired taste, but if it's fresh, it's probably my favorite food on the planet. Unfortunately, the freshest that you can get when you're landlocked is from restaurants that fly it in next day, and only a couple in town do that, but it's delicious. The best I have ever had was in Hawaii though, it was so incredibly fresh and flavorful that I have never stopped craving it since I left.

Sushi is awesome.

Re: favourite food/drinks/restuarants forgot about this thread XD i love Pizza, Nachos, Energy drinks and chilli haha

Energy drinks! no such thing. All full of sugar. The Scary Truth About Energy Drinks | No Meat Athlete

[BlutAusNerd]

Yeah dude, I don't know how you can drink energy drinks. They taste as bad and toxic as they look, and are nutritionally one of the worst things you could drink.

[The Strategos]

I had a Red Bull once. It was pretty disgusting but I just wanted to try it.

[Iceni]

Nos is nice but you can tell it's unhealthy.

[RelentlessOblivion]

I drink coffee if I need something to wake me up in a hurry. energy drinks are far too unhealthy and there's scientific evidence to suggest that regular consumption of them can place additional strain on your heart increasing your likelihood of suffering severe heart problems later in life

[BlutAusNerd]

Re: favourite food/drinks/restuarants I have a cup of coffee per day, it's much better for you than energy drinks, as well as not tasting like toxic sludge. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

[RelentlessOblivion]

I have two cups of coffee a day if it's an early start otherwise one is enough.

[BlutAusNerd]

My wife's family goes crazy for the stuff, but I usually don't have more than 2, and even then that's only on the weekends. Her dad will drink a whole pot all by himself though, so coffee products tend to disappear pretty quickly at their house.

[The Strategos]

I can't drink coffee. It makes me feel WIIEERRRDDDD!

I definitely wouldn't want you getting any weirder on us Strat.

The first manifestation being a sudden inexplicable inability to spell the word 'weird'. By the way, I've just noticed that Strategos has been accorded the honor of being the only member on here with a nickname based directly upon a make of electric guitar. Maybe we should start calling murph Razorback now? There's a Swahili restaurant in Santa Fe called the Jambo cafe. Kind of a sucky ambience but definitely an interesting culinary experience. It introduced me to the awesome world of jerk chicken seasoning, which can make just about anything taste good.

That's a popular technique in Caribbean cooking as well, and it is pretty tasty. I can't say that I've ever had African food, but am definitely interested to check it out. The problem is that there are only a few places in my area that serve it, and they don't ever seem to be open, but I've heard that Ethopian food in particular has a great spice palette and set of flavors. I find this a bit ironic (and this may make me sound like a bit of an asshole), but I didn't think it would be very good at first because most Ethopian people we see on TV are starving to death.

My father ate at an Ethiopian restaurant once. If I remember correctly he said it was the best service he'd ever gotten at a restaurant. It was also quite a sizeable meal. It's not entirely inappropriate for you to bring up the famine, because some of the food at the Jambo cafe was definitely subpar stuff. For example, they had oxtail soup, which isn't something you eat unless you can't get anything better. The restaurant did do something kind of interesting; they seasoned the fries with cumin.

Re: favourite food/drinks/restuarants I'm still interested, it was just one of those South Park type of things that I thought of as amusing, despite its lack of political correctness. I do this frequently though, because I despise the notion of political correctness, it's just another way to say double speak. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't at least laugh about the problems of the world, you're taking things too seriously. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
