What is the first thing you eat when you go home?

A good Indian restaurant, i.e. Chicken vindaloo with a pint (or more) of Stella draught.

I rest my case. Don't you Brits have any home-grown food to take pride in? Wait - cold pork pies and warm beer. I've answered my own question.

Probably there's a whole lot who think they can.

 

But AFAIK, I'm the only bugger in Isaan making haggis pizza.

Don't you start with your runny, French affectation of brie masquerading as cheese.

Have you ever tasted it? Heaven on a water cracker. Come back to me when you have.

[NanLaew]

Anyway, this isn't about slagging off another countries (spectacular lack) of cuisine or whether they like sliced pickled beetroot, fried eggs or pineapple rings in their burgers, it's about the first thing you want to eat when you go home.

 

Each to their own.

Well, you've called it a runny affectation, which is way off the mark. It's firm. So you've just demonstrated your abject lack of knowledge.

I must admit I'm amazed by the number of Brits who nominate an Indian curry or Chinese as their first choice.

Australian, so a chunk of eye filet cooked medium, with a decent Aussie shiraz - Pepperjack or Booth's. For cheese, King Island Blue Brie. Asparagus in season.

It's a cultural thing. Comes from centuries of being the epicenter of the British Empire aka the known world, the colonies, Pims #1 sundowners, toodle pip and all that.

But it's not firm enough! Never can be. It's French after all.

 

Even Red Leicester sh!ts all over brie and that's woosie English rubbish.

 

Someone get this man some Wensleydale!!!

Ah, I get it. To be British is to win the lottery of life. That explains why there's so many Brits in Thailand bitching about Brexit.

Maybe only the ones that pretend to know you?

 

Now, can we get back to the matter at hand?

 

You commented disparagingly on British penchant for Asian food and then tagged on some poseur menu item from some cookie-cutter Northbridge sidewalk cafe. Actually it looks quite good and I googled the cheese and it looks quite firm (for a brie) but is all that really the 'first thing' you eat when you get home or is it the first thing you go out to eat after you get home. I mean what if the asparagus is out of season?

Ok, let me understand this. You've never tasted King Island Blue Brie. You've never been there. You probably would battle to find it on a map, just as I have no idea what Red Leicester is.

Why are you chuntering on about foodstuffs you know nothing about?

Watched the Last Night of the Proms on BBC this morning, Rule Britannia, Land of Hope, Jerusalem....with a nice egg & bacon butty, with HP sauce and a cuppa Yorkshire tea. HEAVEN. And watched Spain beat England! . Who needs to go home......wherever that may be.

Your avatar explains everything. You don't know when to stop.

If asparagus is out of season, I'll switch to what is in season, such as beurre bosc pears, or strawberries, or cherries.

Not a poseur menu item, it's what I eat at home after I have bought it from the local butcher or wine merchant.

My experience with British cuisine is in London. Overpriced, overcooked rubbish at what are supposed to be upmarket restaurants. Serve that up in Australia, and you'll close down in a week.

He might know how to spell it, but I'll bet he can't pronounce it!

Red Lester. The same as Cholmondeley is pronounced Chumley, and Featherstonehaugh is pronounced Fanshaw. What was the bet again?

[tutsiwarrior]

I lived and worked in the Gulf area for a long time and when I got back from leave at home in Thailand I'd stop at the first shwarma place (there was one not far from the airport in Jeddah, truck stop open late) or better still a falafel place...then to continue stop and get a whole roast chicken (the vendors got the gas fired rotisserie on the sidewalk out front) with hummous, salad and arabic bread included...then when I got home rip the meat from the chicken and with the bread, salad and hummous make an 'arab burrito' and pig out...mighty fine...'fusion cuisine' at it's best...

Have seen it in Pattaya, in fact, I've got some in the freezer at the moment. The wife loves baked potatoes. I bake them, scoop the potato out, mash it, add sweated onion, smokey bacon, grated cheddar and butter, refill the jackets and top off with grated Red Leicester. Back under the grill and serve.

[Nyezhov]

3 egg American Cheese Omelette with Bacon, Avocado and Tomato, Grits, Home Fries and Thick Cut Sourdough Toast . Then a Boars Head Roast Beef Sandwich, Cold, on Marbled Rye with Russian Dressing. Then a NY Thin Crust Pizza with Sausage, Olives and Pepperoni.

 

That about covers the food you can only get in America (well sometimes Canada too) and no where else in the world.

OK since your empirical knowledge of British cuisine is based on London pub lunches, we won't embarrass you further on food.

 

But since you're on a British geography roll, how about Avoch, Milngavie and Findochty.

AFAIK, Villa markets have loads of it. Good price too (for Villa).

You don't have to wait to get back home for that, it's all available here!

Although I do prefer brown wholemeal bread , which I havent seen here .

Cheese, although available, is alot more expensive .

I also like smoked bacon , meat with a little bit of fat , which can be cut off , unlike the fat and a little bit of meat that you get here .

   I also do not have a grill here .

Yes, you could make do , but it wont be the same as I make at home
