a question for all you fucking limeys.

a reuben is a sandwich with corned beef, sauerkraut and swiss cheese on rye occasionally served with thousand island dressing. it's goodness.

Sauerkraut is disgusting. The rest of it sounds OK though. If a tad central European.
 
We do have the odd Mexican place. And the supermarkets sell taco stuff these days.

We have a British place here. They do not serve coffee because it is not "English."

What a bunch of crap. The bangers and mash is good.
 
Taco Bell does is not without its downfalls.

Did you know that Taco Bell's ground meat is 80% Oatmeal Filler?

How do I know that?


Well back in my teenager days :p



just saying <3

I used to drink at an ex-pats pub in San Diego, the fish and chips in there was fan-fucking-tastic.
 
Okay seriously, what is "Bangers and Mash?"

the sauerkraut makes it work. i thought it sounded horrible until i tried one. they are fucking good.

and, yeah, if i'm not mistaken, i believe they were invented by a jewish deli on the eat coast, so central european makes sense.
 
Of course, you could always make Toad in the Hole, which is one of the best foods ever.
 
you guys are making me fucking hungry. what should i eat? i think we have some tri tip. i could make a sammich.
