I substitute tomato sauce with Hommus all the time.

"Pork dripping is served cold to be spread on bread (bread and dripping), particularly for breakfast. In parts of Yorkshire, this is known as a "mucky fat" sandwich. It is also served on toast with salt, also mainly for breakfast."
In response to Khar's bashing of American food, what the FUCK England? Why the hell would you torture yourself by eating this crap?

Oh please, dripping is one of the most disgusting foods to ever exist. Truly horrible. It smells and it's greasy and watching someone eat it is rather akin to watching someone eating vomit on toast and enjoying it. Gross.

You're talking about Yorkshire, man. Yorkshire requires special dispensation, on account of being so depressing and northern, though it is the place of origin of the Yorkshire Pudding which is a staple of a good Sunday Roast, which is awesome food. Roast beef, a bit of gravy, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes with thyme, some vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, cabbage, peas, whatever, and some redcurrant jelly, is pretty hard shit to beat. Then there are things like fish and chips, steak and ale pie, stews and hotpots, full english breakfast, shepherds pie, fishermans pie and so forth. Then there are biscuits and cream teas and a large variety of cakes and so on and so on. Also do not forget that the sandwich is a British invention, nor overlook the British iterations on Chinese and Indian cuisine! Traditional British food may be somewhat simple and unadorned, but that does not really make it bland. There is a great bit in Notes From a Small Island where Bill Bryson admires the English for being the only nation in the world where people can get genuinely excited about jam, and where he opines that it is better to be able to genuinely enjoy toasted tea cakes and digestive biscuits than to 'cram tactile pleasure into all your orifices non-stop until your taste buds die' is I believe the phrase he uses.
Also, the British make the best beer in the world, and I will fight any man, woman or child who says otherwise.

I might take this for my sig quote.
The point of eating this food is to remind yourself of the terrible, bleak life we must endure. :laugh:
KharBevNor is right on all points.
I'm not trying to stir things up again, but how are we being critised on our food by the nation that gave the Golden Arches? :evil:

Dude do not bash the Mickie D's. They make some damn fine hotcakes.
