Anyone seen the trailer for Fast Food Nation[^]? Should be interesting.
Interesting how? Doesn't everybody know the truth behind MacDonalds and their ilk by now?

Is this just showing in your country? This has been kicking around in the West for more than a year now. Should be interesting with the Hindu / holy cow angle too.

Caveat emptor. Its been true for two thousand years. Its still true today. Mind you, isnt there a legal maximum percentage of cockroach in American chocolate?

Judging by the taste, I'd say 100%. :) Hersheys has to be the most disgusting chocolate known to man - how they even get away with calling it "chocolate" is beyond me.

And yet wouldn't our European friends scoff at Cadbury's efforts at producing chocolate? I do, however, agree with you regarding Hershey's. There are 3 things at which the Yanks are utterly crap: 1: Chocolate 2: Cheese 3: Bacon (and no, Canadian bacon is not really bacon: it's ham). Still, I'd kill for an IHop[^] breakfast right now... (No, really, I would).

Mmmm: pancakes... (said whilst drooling)
I have to block out some mental images though, in order to enjoy the thought of pancakes at IHOP. A friend of mine drove through half the US one summer, and we frequented IHOP for breakfast. It was then when I discovered his horrible taste in breakfast. So horrible in fact, I got kind of queasy. He started out with putting his sunny side up eggs on the pancake. Odd, but doable. Then.. then he put blueberry jam on top of it. He mashed it together with the yoke from the egg, and the pancake, turning the whole damn thing into a green mess which looked more like Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle OozeTM than anything edible. X| I doubt I have seen anything more revolting on a breakfast table (or any table for that matter) before. I doubt I ever will.

and yet you're not puting me off! Can't wait for my next trip when I'll have breakfast at either IHop or an IHop-alike. I do it once per trip then regret it and swear I'll never do it again then get home and miss it and, well, you get the picture. I like to put a keg of butter covered with a bucket of maple syrup over everything, including the bacon and anything else that finds its way on to my plate. Oh, also used to like Denny's and the Sizzler. So I have poor taste in food. :laugh:

bookmarks You can ignore relatives but the neighbours live next doorI have had the misfortune to eat breakfast in the US on a few occasions. Pan grits: What the fuck is it supposed to be? Dried fried cardboard pelets? Yoghurt: Ther are times when bacteria in food is GOOD. However, the US thinks wallpaper glue is better in yoghurt. Coffee: No, dont, dont even call it coffee its not, its muddy water. And as for using the term 'endless coffee' as a selling point! Is 'endles diarrhoea' pleasurable either? Pancakes, bacon, and maple syrup: Well, maple syrup is superb on a pancake, but on bacon? That is sick. Additionally, all US confectionary is truly disgusting. I have never eaten anything that made me want to puke quite so much. The cheese is crap, really, seriously crap when comapred to a Lymeswold, or Wenslydale.

Supposedly Aussie food (never been to Australia, so I wouldn't know!). I highly recommend the Outback! If you get there, be sure to get the Bloomin' Onion as side dish (you may want to share it with someone, because it's a lot of food!)

Heh, you really don't like the american cuisine, do ya? ;) I agree with you that the "standard cup" of coffee in the US isn't really coffee. On the other hand, you should be acquainted with the poor quality of coffee, as I see little or no difference between the regular US and british cup of coffee... The pastries I have eaten in the US were kind of bland (except for donuts! ;)). Not sure if I had the misfortune of finding the suckiest places. I have not tasted every piece of pastry in the US. :) If you really want weird food, try something Japanese other than the usual sushi/teriyaki. (There's a reason why the Japanese cuisine isn't so big anywhere else but in Japan ;))
