The last post is the WINNER!

Free Chip win

I thank you you have made up my mind for me. I was undecided what to have for dinner but reading your post in English made the decision for me. Tonight we dine on fish, chips (fries to you) and peas.

Tiz easy to prepare and a winner

I'm more worried about the haggis, still.

The trick to making haggis palatable is slice it about 1cm (1/3 of an inch) thick and fry it in clarified butter (or duck fat) until it turns golden brown both sides

Eaten with fried eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, beans, hash browns, toast and a fried slice (of bread) it becomes a full Scottish breakfast and will set you up for a cholesterol rich day thus allowing the imbibing of single malt to continue an unabated win

I see. Well.... I still think if I ate all that, I'd be too sick for the malt.

I prefer clean eating. Veggies, unbattered fish, etc.

Yes, you must be fully tolerant of bad cholesterol.

Yeah. I don't even much like American cuisine. Frito's? Yuck. Macaroni and cheese? Gross. American renditions of pizza? Ew.

What are fritos? Ahh never mind, i looked it up, in France they are called lays. And probably just as wholesome as the American version;-)

Macaroni I don't do, but tagliatelle with (for @Revoltingest) a heavy cream cheese sauce and pieces of smoked salmon is pretty good on occasion

Best pizza is from Naples (home town of pizza) with the little pizza shop in the corner of navona square in Rome being a close second. After that i make it myself.

My favorite is Asian food (Chinese, Japanese, etc).

Sounds good. Im actually missing chinese and Indian food here, to far to travel. But there is an excellent thai place nearby that we frequent quite often.

The supermarket i use has recently opened a sushi bar, nice ;-)

Fritos are a nasty greasy snack chip.
I like corn chips. I hate Fritos.

Salmon should never be heavily seasoned or covered in cream.
Its fantastic flavor shouldn't be disguised or overwhelmed.

Pizza here comes in a wide variety of styles.
Pick what you like.
I dislike deep dish.
Thin crust, feta, tomatoes, & anchovies are best.

If you eat only the worst Ameristanian food,
it's easy to hate. If you eat the best, it's heaven.

Depends. What do you consider the best?

Yes, i discovered leys/fritos. I think it's Tyrrells pesto or truffle flavour potato crisps for me

Usually you are correct, but there are exceptions when eating Northern ilalian cuisine

There is only one style of pizza. The rest may have stolen the name for American consumption but pizza they are not

 

[Revoltingest]

BBQ
Zingerman’s
Burgers - non-fast food type
Tex Mex
Pasties
The list goes on, without even getting into
ferrin foods that have become mainstream.

There is only one style of pizza for those who
live in primitive areas of limited choice.

Not so, there are plenty of non pizzas around here that are called pizzas but as I said, they are not real, genuine pizza.

Oh, you food snobs!
All food is "stolen" from someone, eg, zhang
bang (Korean) is from China, all those noodles
in Italy (from China). Each culture adopts &
adapts as they want.
Sometimes the source is just lost to history.
Where something appeared to originate
doesn't mean that's the only way that food
can be prepared.
What matters is enjoying what's available.
So if Tex Mex or BBQ become popular in
Froggistan, they'll adapt it in their way, &
it might even be good.
Enjoyment is more important than authentic.

BTW, I heard a podcast on my last trip that
addressed French food. What it is now,
isn''t what it was not so long ago.

Still digging that food snob hole deeper, eh.

I wouldn't want to make eating burgers and BBQ a regular habit, myself.

One shouldn't survive on any single food.
You want vegetarian fare, we have that too.
But much depends upon the community
you live int. High end grocery stores now
offer prepared food & a dining area.
Your choices are great.
In short....
Don't like what you eat?
Eat something different.
