sorry, just a joke.... couldn't resist it.

LOL but it's so true...we over here are precisely the people who--ACTUAL STORY--walk into a Chinese restaurant, look at the menu, and proceed to ask the waitstaff: "Do you serve American food here or not?"

I think "Long John Silvers" over here is an Americanised version of fish and chips...although the "chips" are actually "French fries"...

Well, I've never been there

My family doesn't fit the American stereotype at all. We never go out to eat, and we only go to fast food restaurants when its positively necessary. Really, the only time we eat at a fast food restaurant is when we are traveling and we stop at a Wendy's for lunch or dinner. McDonald's left my diet a long time ago because my whole family would get sick on the food

Oooh you can say that again: good on you for that--I eat out far too much (symptom of being a grad student

)

Oh, by the way, for all:
We passed the 7,000 post mark a few posts ago...

I do like Earl Grey, but it truly does taste just like dirt--or just like I always imagined dirt tasting like

ok, ok...it's like "drinkable" dirt--and if you've ever had hot chocolate made out of a little packet of mix (or some diet drink milkshake), you've had "dirt"!!

Earl Grey is lovely, but my favorite is lady grey. Can't forget rooibos either, nor Prince of Wales, English Breakfast, and Irish Breakfast.

Ok, so someone explain to me: what is a "full English breakfast"?

kthomp · Post by **kthomp** » 15 years ago

hehe

a full english breakfast

scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, black pudding, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns, and half a tomato sometimes fried bread.

and a cup of tea

very very fatty truckers eat them alot to wake them and feed them for the day so can be found at alot of service stations with cafe's
