- 4gotunameagain 2y agoRegarding food, it is a great stretch to call the UK European. They are famous over here for their lack of cuisine and terrible fast food habits.
- matthewmacleod 2y agoYeah, but most of that is in practice nonsense.
- 4gotunameagain 2y agoHow so ? I've lived in various EU countries, and spent extended periods of time in the UK. In practice I could not tolerate the food unless I paid exorbitant amounts. Both in grocery shopping, and eating out.
- Symbiote 2y agoI'll accept many British people (including my mother) fail to season their food, and overcook things. But, the quality of the raw food is comparable to elsewhere in Northern Europe, and low-processed foods like cheese, canned tomatoes, cream, milk and so on are European (i.e. no additives, no sweetener etc) rather than American.
- 4gotunameagain 2y agoI agree that we cannot compare Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, but take Copenhagen for example. Same (and even worse) logistics to get good produce, but you can find acceptable food both in grocery stores, and a quality restaurant culture for the average restaurant. And it's not like the Danish had a cuisine traditionally, all they ate was pork and potatoes due to the geography.
- Henchman21 2y agoThe best description of food in the US was uttered in the documentary “Super Size Me” IIRC. A Frenchman describes it as American Shitfood. I’ve used it ever since.
- UltraSane 2y agoEuropeans really do love to make shit up to feel superior to the US about.
