    I 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.

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

    Thank God for disproportional force.

      Wierd. I absolutely loath both IHop and Canadian "bacon". And enjoy a nice Hersey's chocolate at least weekly.

          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).

          I was going to agree that our chocolates are not the finest in the world and we have some boring cheeses, but you lost all credibility as a good judge of food here...

            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).

                  Yes, I realise that it's not exactly Maine Lobster and Filet Mignon but it'll do when I get a craving for some really greasy junk food. :laugh:

                      cheese! peanut butter! marmite! and ketchup! jesus fucking christ man thats sick! One of the best is a cheap white bread sandwich with banana and cheese and onion crisps. That is the most sublime flavour, and a quite remarkable texture too.

                        You have to try it: tha amalgam of flavours coupled with the variety of oral sensations is remarkable, almost a work of culinary art; perhaps the Hirst or Emin of sandwiches. I'm going to try your suggestion the very moment I arrive home: ooh, I'm all a quiver...

                          I can believe it. Marmite and vinegar alone would be enough to induce vomiting. I cant imagine what strong cheese and penuts add. Except somthing to vomit on.
