Huh.....whattya know about that!? After all these years, it turns out that
the U.S. and the U.K. really DO have something in common besides a mutually
incomprehensible language. Who'da thunk it?

clowns to the left of me......jokers to the right.......

Well, after eating British cooking for the past three summer, I'm not
at all suprised that the food packs were judged unfit for human
consumption. Besides, how can the average Brit tell the difference
between incinerating it, and just cooking it?

Brits cookbook: cook it cook it cook it until its dead dead dead.

Ya know, that mad cow stuff is bad news. Can't be allowed here in the US.
As a matter of fact, anyone exposed to it, or possibly exposed (such as any
US soldier, sailor or airman, and their families that spent more than one
week in the UK in the last 10 years) is soon to be rounded up. They are
gonna reopen Manzanar, Poston and Amache just for ... Hey, who are you?
Food police? What the hell is a Food Police? Get away from meee! Put that
down!! No, I'm not going to go with you, hey, stop! What do you mean "join
my family?" Someone call my congressman!!!
Helllpppp!........................................ .........

The reason that the Brits were such great explorers is that they were all
out looking for a good restaurant.

Id wait for better confirmation on this story because 1) the Mirror is not
the most reliable of sources, and 2) Brit papers in general have a lot
looser standards on matters of fact than US papers, when the US paper
ACTUALLY covers the story. On the other hand, Brit papers and Euro papers
in general, are more likely to cover negative developments in Iraq, Israeli
abuses in the occupied territories, US poverty, the ongoing semi-secret US
war in Latin America, the Third World War in Africa, real American casualty
figures, specific contemporary effects of global warming, US oil company
funding of death squads in Africa and Latin America, etc etc...

As someone who lives in London, I agree with all this. I have travelled
a lot and I know of only two countries where the food is even worse
than he

a) Ireland

b) The USA

PS it was equally bad in Romania under Ceaucescu, but I'm fairly sure
it's improved since.

We've homogenized food to death, put it through focus groups, run it by
dieticians and allergists, bulk packaged it, flash frozen it and taken out
all the friggen flavor. I was in a fairly nice restaurant a couple of weeks
ago (not "casual dining") and asked for Roquefort dressing for my salad.
They had no clue. Went to the Mort de laCusine (Dennys Restaurant) and
ordered Eggs Benedict. They had poured molten "cheese flavored food
product" over the top and used regular bacon instead of Canadian bacon. I
told them that I asked for Eggs Benedict, and explained that EB has
hollandaise sauce on it and has the proper bacon. "Well, that's our Eggs
Benedict!" I sent it back, told the manager, paid for my bad coffee and
walked out.

You expected REAL Eggs Benedict at Denny's? They must have thought you were
some elitist snob of a fly fisherman or something. Good work!

Well, there's your problem right there! Putting aside my personal aversion
to undercooked watery eggs (might as well just order raw sheeps' eyballs),
expecting to get real food prepared according to an authentic recipe in an
American chain 'restaurant' is a lot like expecting hotdogs to contain meat.
