My last visit was about 5 years ago, in Virginia mostly, but everything was super duper delicious (Yes! I gained a lot of weight here :sigh:). 5 years later, I come back here, this time Chicago, and I've tried from takeouts to fancy dine-ins but everything sucks, and all the places stink. What happened to all the good food? :confused:
You didn't meet the sausage king of Chicago?

The deep-dish casserole pizza is the tourist pizza, what the rest of the world knows Chicago for, but people born and raised Chicago normally don't eat it. REAL Chicago pizza is thin crust, cut into squares.

Remind me not to come to your house for dinner! You should mention Shepherd's Pie, Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips, any British breakfast, Steak and Kidney Pie, proper English sausages, proper English (Danish smoked) bacon, bacon butties, sausage butties.... I have to stop now as I am getting terminally hungry! Dammit, I miss good ol' British food! This American crap that has to be "spicy" and "crispy" and "breaded" is killing me - I want to come home, mummy!!!!

Uuugghhh... I've been to your little island nation... Shepard's Pie and Fish & Chips are the only 2 palatable meals. ;)

You must have been here in the 19th century. There is lots of international cuisine in the UK.

International cuisine is available in most civilized nations... I was referring to home grown British Cuisine.

Chicken fried steak and fried okra are still on the menu, but only if you leave those "weird" cities.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm sure that even British food is not what it used to be - they no longer fry chips in lard, the sausages are "[emulsified high-fat offal tubes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPwQ0PmK9lw)", and some cooks have even been known to use spices other than salt and pepper in their cooking. :omg: :)
