Sadly, people will eat this shit, even when they know there's shit in it.

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 doorThere's nothing wrong with Denny's! The Sizzler is ok. Have you tried Outback Steakhouse[^]? Supposedly Aussie food (never been to Australia, so I wouldn't know!). I highly recommend the Outback!

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 ;))

Probably true, traditionally, but there are a lot of continental type cafes opening in the UK now.

Yeah, its OK, but compared to a good french meal...

Outback's Talapia with the cajun sauce stuff on it is really good.
Thank God for disproportional force.

The syrup isn't actually intended to go on the bacon.

So did you keep trying all the different pastries just hoping you'd eat one that didn't make you sick? You can find some excellent bakers in the US, it's just people don't much care about the quality of their sweets here the way the Europeans seem to, so you have to search a little more. Those that do care, probably have sweet ol' Aunt Matilda at home baking on a regular basis.

But it tastes so good. (I'm quite happy eating strange concoctions: my favorite sandwich is (strong) cheddar cheese, crunchy peanut butter (skippy), marmite and (heinz) ketchup: don't knock it till you've tried it).
