Exactly.


If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. UNLESS STEPHEN FRY SAYS ITS A SWAN, AND THEN IT IS A FUCKING SWAN.

Back to food,I have always heard that according to public opinion that U.K. cuisine is about as enjoyable as piss covered popcorn dipped in diarrhea.Now I have no first hand knowledge of this,so can anyone confirm or deny,and preferably non U.K.ers without any bias.

BTW,this looks like a terrible breakfast.

Quite a lot of people :dunno:

Um, those would be traditional of the American Southern states. You try going to a trailer park in West Virginia and tell them that the deep fried Twinky was invented somewhere else and see what happens.

i guess that's cos so many of those folks are descended from
scots

i think the love for deep fried food is genetic .....
... :rofl:

The UK is regarded by many as the food capital of the world.Every second programme on TV is a cookery one and the shops are full of exotic foods from around the globe.Scotch beef is acknowledged as the best in the world.

Yes we eat cereal, we eat lots of stuff.

Unless you've had a proper full english breakfast, you'll never know what you're talking about.
