Also, orange juice, at any time of day.

I have a love/hate relationship with orange juice. I won't have any for a while, and then I'll really want a glass. When I finally have one, I realize that I don't like orange juice, and then the cycle repeats.

What, you think the chinese food in Britain would be recognisable to anyone from China?

It's worse in America, dude.
I spent $15 on a number of orders of vietnamese spring and crystal (non-fried) rolls for my family last night, and they didn't include the sauces. The sauces are the best part. Nobody ate them. I hate it when that happens.

I had roast beef sammiches today. I am now pleased. We're talking about Chinese food now? I don't like the spicey stuff... it has a way of taking my tongue out back and killing it.
KharBevNor:
Today, I will be mostly eating eggs. I have like, five eggs I need to use up.

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.

Not to Necro beat a dead horse, but since I never got to respond to this for some reason I'm bringin' it back. True, every single food you've listed there sounds absolutely awesome, and there's plenty of other foods from the UK that I'd love to try. Being as I'm an Anthony Bourdain fan, his episode of No Reservations about going to Britain made it sound like one of the holy lands for foodies, and I hope to go there and spend a large amount of time discovering the culinary excellency of uniquely British cuisine. The only reason I looked for something that sounded disgusting to throw back at you is because I feel you are far too dismissive of many things Americans eat and that I like, and it sounds like you haven't even tried the majority of it. There are literally thousands of dishes that have been developed in the melting pot of cultures that is the US, and I feel that neither of us should over generalize the others food preferences. Plus through the text of the internet you're coming off as a major elitist, dude. (not that that's the way you intended to sound and there's been numerous posts in the past week or so about people constantly not being able to read other people's intentions through the intarwebs)
