I do not know where the rumor got started that all us Americans eat is fast food!. I grew up in the southern US and was raised on home-cooked meals!. Never went to a fast food restaurant except for a local hamburger restaurant owned by people in town!. My family ate good balanced meals!. Mostly seafood, potatoes, home-grown vegetables and fruits!. My grandfather was a fisherman so we had lots of fresh caught fish!. He also had his own smokehouse and we had hams, chicken, bacon, and every now and then!.!. if we were lucky we had a store-bought steak!. To this day the southern cuisine is much appreciated!. We also like Mexican foods, Italian dishes and lately, more and more oriental foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because America is a country mainly of Immigrants, the only true American food you will find here is that of the native Americans and well, that just never went over big with people from outside that community, but there are so many American cuisines that have their origins in French cooking (Cajun and Creole), African (Southern and Soul Food), Mexican (Tex Mex), German/Jewish (delicatessens - for which New York City is famous) and countless others!.!.!.unfortunately, you just don't hear about these cuisines much outside the US unless you really do some research!.!.!.I know, I've been overseas a number of times and all the media over there ever talks about is the fast food crap that you find on almost every street corner here!. Sadly, it also often dominates these message boards as well!.
I've been to the UK and had some wonderful meals there!.!.!.Haggis with Neeps and Tatties sounds a hell of a lot worse than it actually is and when you have all that lovely highland and lowland scotch to wash it down!.!.!.even if you don't like it, you won't care! I love Cornish Pasties (and I bet Jamaican meat patties took their origins from them)!.!.!.I could go on!.
I wouldn't take people saying that british food is awful too personally!.!.!.most of them who say that have never actually tried it!. Though I do know quite a few brits who say the same thing!.
Oh!.!.!.and Sparkysair posting above me!.!.!.there ARE indeed quite a few Michelin starred British chefs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tell you what,
You eat your "Haggis" and "Blood pudding" and all the other animal innards you can handle!.( if you call that food)!. And don't forget your gooey, disgusting marmite that a dog here wouldn't even consider!.
I'll stick with my Steak and potatoes( or even fast food) over that crapola!.
One last thing!.
In Europe( I think "British" is included) why are there no "British" Michelin star chefs!?
They're all in France, Italy and Monaco!.
British Cuisine isn't even mentioned in "Fine Dining"!.
It's always Italian and French!.
Perplexing!?
Sparky--If there are Michelin chefs, they're not making British Cuisine--Read in between the lines!.
Michelin Chefs don't make Porridge, Haggis, Yorkshire Pudding or use Marmite in their recipes!.
Britain has had 5,000 or more years to perfect their cuisine!.
America is only 300 years old!.
You would think that after 5,000 years you could come up with some better then "crumpets and tea"!?
I think you should shut up and learn a little about real food!.
And here is what I'm talking about!.
Here are some British Michelin star chefs!.
http://www!.foodandwine!.com/articles/euro!.!.!.
Note:
They are cooking in the "French" tradition!.
IE, Chanterelles!. foie etc etc, not British cuisine!.
A Michelin chef can be from any country!.
I'm talking about what food they are preparing!.
The only thing I see close to British is one who makes "brew"!.
Why are you people so fast to insult other countries but get so up in arms when someone retorts!.
Basically, you have to be drunk to enjoy British cuisine!.
One poster mentions when he drinks the booze( or whatever) everything tastes good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the only thing that could be called american food is either a mexican rip-off or an an afro-caribbean rip-off
the white man in USA has no claim to anything foodwise except profiting from junk food

USA = care about $$$$$$$ before qualityWww@FoodAQ@Com
