American Food

[beeswax]

I'm not a huge fan of American food either, I know you can get good stuff (never had problems eating well in New York!) but in general the food culture seems to rely far more on fast food than here, and the food is usually bigger and greasier. And everyone seems obsessed with cheese!

 

Hmmm. Monterey Jack. Even hearing the words makes my eldest feel ill.

On a serious note, I've always enjoyed eating out in the States. There's a huge variety of stuff out there reflecting the mix of cultures, though they could do with reducing the portions. Once had a "breakfast" chilli in Santa Barbara which went down very well despite it being before 07:00 am (though it could have had more to do with my still being on GB time).

You can get great food in America but not in many places, every time i've been if you order a salad with dressing it's swimming in it. Oh and they serve steak with sponge cake base, what's that all about?

It's a another country. They do things differently over there.

Steak stuffed with Pate is different, steak with sponge cake base is wrong

 

 

 

I love Mexican food, never been anywhere near the place to try anything authentic tho.. ill add it to the list lol

 

 

I've had some fantastic burreto's in San Diego it's only 6 miles from Mexico but tbh you can get good mexican anywhere in California...oh and some pretty good stuff in Buxton

So now the important questions?

 

Can you get a good curry?

Is the beer any good?

 

 

Had some great Thai curries but you don't come across many good Indian restaurants. You can get some great local beers these days though.
