English Cuisine
Many years ago (25 or 30?), American McDonald’s used beef tallow in their fries. This was not done in most other countries, particularly those with a large Hindu population. It’s not unreasonable for people to prefer one over the other or at least find them different.
The best Macca’s I ever did have?
Buenos Aires.
The second best?
Sydney.
Christ I’m global.
I can confirm that McDonalds DUBLIN is miles better than McDonalds USA. Thats how far the greatest country on earth has fallen.
Am picturing Zack running into some American cafe with World’s Best Coffee on the outside and congratulating everyone.
Anyone for Lipton’s? If anyone needs congratulating it’s them for cornering the market in America with their shite tea.
It’s here too. Even thick Aussies are above it. Absolute muck.
I can understand why the Brits are turning up their noses to the bagel, with the English muffin being a far superior breakfast carb. Even moreso with breakfast sandwiches. But to deny the bagel, and even refer to it as a jew door stop, seems to be ignorant to me. And you’re probably getting the preparation absolutely wrong.
I’m with bosstrabs on baked beans. Missus and I ask our cook to double up on the sautéed button mushrooms instead, much much better when we’re doing a full English.
And eggs on toast is splendid. Blain and Millsy know what’s up. Si being a cretin, as per.
Also the Ramsay scrambled eggs technique is shit. Kenji FTW.
The problem with the bagel is its not not enjoyable to eat at all. It’s hard and dry and the dense texture sucks. And yes I’ve had a fair few to decide.
Gotta get the butter in there while it’s piping hot out of the toaster. Makes a world of difference. And you can’t let it sit around for 5-10 minutes. Gotta consume immediately. Crispy and crunchy on the outside, pillowy and soft in the inside. Some cold meats and Philly cheese on top, sorted.

Yeh but most places they aren’t even toasted. Maybe this is a Brit Aus thing? I had cream cheese and smoked salmon one in NYC and that wasn’t toasted from memory either. And that was also like eating a door wedge. Dry and miserable as fuck, like chewing a piece of leather.
Re scrambled egg, neither Ramsey or Kenji are of any use due to the amount of butter they use. Has to be a bit healthier for me.
