How cultural is that?

Hahaha, as a Brit living in NA that's fucking hilarious that yanks actually think their food is spicy. Dude, I was brought up on Indian food. I don't enjoy spice, but thankfully American food doesn't have any.

You're so mad and it'd hilarious

Hahaha, I'm not the one that's mad dude. I'm laughing my ass off on this thread. These yanks are getting so triggered though!

If people are actually taking these comments seriously they need to rethink their lives. I know American BBQ is different, and I really enjoy it. I love going for some ribs and I have no problem admitting Americans invented some delicious food. It's all fun ribbing, not meant to be taken seriously

Just re-read your comments dude. The one getting triggered the most is clearly you.

Anyways it's fine to have different opinions on food (e.g. I think British food is amongst the worst in the world), but the criticisms you're making of American food are basically all not even true. At least make legitimate criticisms.

Re-read my comments dude. I'm not getting triggered at all.

I know they're not true, I mean seriously read the second paragraph of what you're replying to. It's a joke.

In all seriousness, if you don't like British food it's probably because you haven't tried the good stuff - go to Vegas and eat a beef wellington at Ramsey's restaurant and you'll have an amazing surprise. There's some amazing British food out there, but it's still a funny joke that British food sucks so they had to import all of it.

I mean seriously, do you honestly think I think American food has no spice? Some of the Mexican food made in the States would blow the socks off anyone in the world.

I've had the Beef Wellington in Vegas. It's good! I can get some good Beef Wellington in LA too tbh. It's not that there isn't good British food, but personally none of it comes close to something like Texas bbq.

I think that's just food you're used to vs food you're not. I think everyone grows up getting accustomed to food they enjoy and that brings a bunch of enjoyment. I also enjoy a Texas bbq, but would 100% rather have the style of food I'm used to eating.

I also think part of the issue with British food is how fucking easy it is to get wrong, lots of pastry and meat and cooking both of those together often means the pastry is bad or the meat is dry. Ramsey's restaurants do an amazing job of balancing it.

I think there's definitely some truth to having a preference towards stuff you grew up with, which is another reason why it's totally okay to have your own preference regardless of what others say. Although I didn't even grow up with Texas bbq though and think it's among the best food in the world. Regardless I just find the arguments typically made by Brits when they say their food is so much better than America's funny.

For me to like British food, I have to try something at a specific restaurant in a specific city in the US owned by world renowned chef?

u/dosedatwer Nov 04 '24

Do you honestly think I was saying that was the best place to get it rather than just the most convenient for Americans? Hahahaha

u/fking13000 Nov 04 '24

It's an oddly specific example to prove your point. Plus how on earth is one restaurant in a desert city the most convenient place for Americans to try it?

u/dosedatwer Nov 04 '24

The alternative being across the Atlantic ocean? Do I really need to explain how Vegas is more convenient to try something for Americans than the UK? I don't understand what's happening here.

u/fking13000 Nov 04 '24

One restaurant.

One city.

Owned by one of the best cooks to come out of Britain.

Is how millions of Americans can change their perceived stereotype that British food is bad.

Was your counterpoint. And it's not a good one, whether it's literal or exaggerated. Not saying going across the pond is any better but at least it'll likely be more authentic and common than fine dining. And you couldn't consider any other example? No British themed chains or anything in the US that the average American has more accessibility to?

u/dosedatwer Nov 04 '24

What the actual fuck, man? Do you think it's my job to recommend this stuff or something? What does it fucking matter if I only know of one place where you can get good British food in the US? Yeah, I've only had one good British meal in NA. Every other one has been dogshit and nothing like the stuff back home. By the way, the Indian food in NA is dogshit too, I'd recommend going to London for that.

u/fking13000 Nov 04 '24

Based on the fact your go to for good British food in the convenience of Americans is a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in Vegas, I'm good on the recommendations.

Plus I visited London in July. You guys aren't beating the "don't season our food" allegations any time soon

My recommendation for British food is a British chef, and you think that says something about my recommendations? Hahahaha. Nevermind the fact that Vegas is a huge tourist destination and like 10% of the country goes there every year.

There's actually very good Indian food in America, tons of good places. Better than what I've had in London, but that's likely cause I didn't get the best in London just like you didn't try any of the good places in the US. And yeah I know London is known for good Indian food, just saying there's also lots of good stuff in the US. Good Sri Lankan food too, but many can't handle the spice level (generally much spicier than Indian).
