@marcus Tay, most coastal areas within europe ate snails at one point.
a lot still do.
the french seem to get all the stick for snail eating, but there are quite a few places in england that have them on the menu as well.
(we are just better at keeping it hushed up lol )

don\'t know why but i\'m pretty sure i always eat italian food
Yes, that joke was stolen from an episode of Friends
\"Friends\" stole the joke from somewhere else....that joke is as old as the hills.
I always say it to my daughters when we have Chinese food....
They fall for it everytime too....

aaaaahhhh.... so if i eat a skinnier person who runs all the time they might be a bit rubbery? I would suggest we eat americans since we are all supposed to be fat and such.... maybe we should taunt them before we eat them, that way we get the adrenaline to flow and it flavors the meat. ooooh yeah we can dangle things like copies of WOW in front of them. ok i went over the deep end again. *meh...shrugs shoulders* heheheh:twisted::drool:

i love also japanese food (the original one) and some traditional english recipes (thanks to my gf who\'s half-english)... can\'t stand french cuisine
well... my top 5 favourites italian dishes are...
1. Fettuccine pasta with boar\'s sausages, porcini mushrooms, black truffle and smoked scamorza cheese.... typical dish of Umbria (italian region)
2. Pizza quattro formaggi (four cheese): with gorgonzola cheese, scamorza cheese, provolone cheese and mozzarella.
3. Lasagne
4. Pennette pasta with salt (or vinegar) seasoned harings, salted capers and black spicy olives
5. SUSHI!!! oh... right sorry XD ... then... the fifth place goes to... TIRAMISU\'!!! (if someone doesn\'t know what\'s a tiramisù... it\'s a creamy cake made with biscuits, coffee, cream, zabaione)

Tony, swap out number 5 for Cream Brolea\' (sp?) and that would be my list too (God, I\'m hungry now!)
Anyway, knowing my sister she probably mostly ate \'pub food\' whilst there. (Is there any such thing there? We call it Bar food- burgers, fries {chips}, wings, etc)
She did say it was very much like American food though, just not as \'fancied up\' (Spices, garnish, more ingredients). For instance, an English Stew might only have 3 or 4 ingredients, while an American would have like 10 or 12. I know these are just generalizations, but she is referring to more of an \'on the average\' kind of thing.
I think she\'s going to Australia next, any reccomendations?
I love Germanic food too, but don\'t get to eat it as often as I like. It\'s the \'Wurst\'
Southern (American) food is great too; we don\'t have a \'cuisine\' up here in the North (unles you count McDonalds).
Is this an \'inside\' joke? ???

@markustay the clean version is an animal carcass impaled in an iron \"spit\" roasted infront of an open fire basted in its own juices. Something us brits are pretty damn good at.
The other kind of spit roast involves a lady on all fours and two pork swordsmen trying to conduct a duel from opposing ends of said young lady.
the second version is the \"spicy\" variety
of course im far too innocent to know about such things :innocent:

Yeah, I just had a pack of instant Ramen for lunch (arigatou, Ando-san!) and it feels less than substantial compared to all food being discussed.Originally posted by Torn blue sky

I got a book last Christmas called The Silver Spoon. First time translated to English, the bible of Italian cooking. Some good stuff in there I tells yer! Look, there it is:

Funny, Silver Spoon made it down here (Australia) last year also. Heartily recommend it, though we haven\'t done either of the Ostrich dishes yet (Conte Rosso ostrich fillet or ostrich stew - both page 936)
As to Australian food that would depend on where she goes. I would think we are a bit like the US with a bit of everything. The food can be very different from location to location though - seafood is very popular everywhere, and cheaper with more choice up north.
One interesting thing with Chinese (made a point of having Chinese in four different countires - not China though) is that it is different in each country we went to. The low point was when an English \"Chinese\" Restaurant served chips with our main.
