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...

Oh wow, Anthony Bourdain does Britain. I'll have to find that. Kitchen Confidential kicks arse.

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)

I think I should I mention that I stirred this pot too, reaching for the most unpleasant things in our national cookbook for comic effect.

But I am an elitist, you pleb.
I just went to the coffee place over at the big university and got myself a brie, cranberry and lettuce baguette, a chocolate croissant (as in a croissant filled with and sprinkled with chocolate, not a pain au chocolat) and a large americano. I do not really like americanos, but it was the only option for caffeination! I know that coffee places like americanos because you can make 'em on an espresso machine but are the coffee drinkers of this country so depraved that there is really not enough demand to justify a seperate filter coffee machine?

I work in a coffee shop that has a seperate filter machine. We do them far more than americanos. Being a huge snob ( :wink:), you probably wouldn't like it. It's part of a supermarket. Not a concession, it's actually run by the store.
KharBevNor:
I don't really give a shit about that hipster bollocks. Unless I have a specific ethical reason not to give the supermarket my patronage. Like, I won't shop at Asda because they're owned by Walmart, and I won't shop at Tescos because they're shits, and all their produce sucks anyway.
