From here in France it is so frustrating not being able to contribute to this conversation!

 

[N4521U]

Maybe look up USA Foods on google, see if there is something over there, because there is one here in Oz. Maybe you can find some deeeeeeelishhhhhhious Spam! or Bisquick for pancakes!

 

[Readie]

We have McDonalds..will that be a true taste of America?

 

[meatloaf109]

Probably, always figured it was horsemeat anyways!

Lucky to find any meat in a MaccyD's 'burger' they are all lips and arseholes...(allegedly) Nice....

In spite of all of the above, in a ward NO! Mackers is not a true taste of America!!!!!!

Now if you could find a Ruben sandwich, of a Philly cheese sandwich, pancakes with maple syrup...... sorry, gonna take a food break.

McDs does not actually MAKE anything from cratch but they do set standards for everything they prepare, sooo, McDs in the UK would be made from local beef so the taste would not be the same. We found a McD in France and besides being outrageously expensive it did not taste like home and neither did the Coke

About as much as Arthur Treacher's is a slice of England!

 

[Readie]

I admit I had to google 'Arthur Treacher' Chris never had heard of him ( them).
You are right...Cod and Chips with salt and vinegar is a very English thing and has to eaten on soggy newspaper on a soggy beach with a western gale blowing the sand up your nose in the rain....you can't beat it.

 

[Njaco]

I was just trying to show that those franchised food outlets really do no justice to a true food establishment. I mean, if you want a good American burger, you should try this place...

Bomb Bomb BBQ Grill - Home

Just like Arthur Treacher really doesn't represent a good Cod and Chips meal!

..any more than French fries represent France. Perhaps I'm lucky (eeewwwww... bad choice of words), but here in the Pacific Northwest we are uber diverse with soul food, traditional american diner food, authentic korean, japanese, chinese, tex-mex, mexican, french, vietnamese, thai, fast-food, Indian, middle eastern, russian/ukranian (big time!!), etc. All this within about a 3-5mile radius. Most within 2miles. American is truly a melting pot.

It is Matt, choice is everything. I love trying different food abroad, some is good and some bland. I thought the snails and frogs legs in France to be over rated but, the pastries, bread ,fruit de mer, cheese and wine are superb. Makes my mouth water just thinking of that....
What's you fav?

I'm not a escargot fan. Might have as well been button mushrooms drowned in parsely garlic butter and sopped up with good bread. What's not to like. I'd eat a dog turd cooked like that. I like all kinds of food. I'm a southern redneck, so perhaps the equivalent might be Tuscan or southern French food would be in the genre that I like [French members can cringe proclaim a 'sacreblue' at my blasphemy]. I more in the liking of peasant food. Lots of beans, rice, bold flavors and cheap cuts of meat.

 

[mikewint]

Readie, Plenty of McDs in London. One of the nicest looking ones was Hounslow West, near London Heathrow

 

[meatloaf109]

You can dress that up any ways you would like, but I bet it still tastes like crap.

 

[Matt308]

There coffee is good. I can vouch for that. Only thing I consume there.
