Club Sandwiches: The Best And The Worst

[Samuian]

It was an American invention.......

Probably the thing I miss most about the US.

Sounds about right! Hilarious

I thought it was more likely the beer marinated 20 Oz T-Bone steak with grilled onions, mushrooms topped with maine lobster tail?

and keep the taties!

ah' well - then....

Now that's worth missing !

Aussies love fish and chips, meat pies, crisps and lots of other junk. They don't need any help poisoning themselves.

Um fish and chips is as english as hot dogs are American. Meat pies yes aussie nothing beats a nice lean chunky beef and mushroom pie. Crisps well as an aussie I am not sure what these are/ What is a crisps???? Yes we love sea food being surrounded by water seafood is a typical diet.

[moetownblues]

Yes all those American fast food giants like Hungry Jacks, KFC and Mcdonalds springing up everywhere doesn't help things. Aussies being slowly poisoned by the yanks. American food is digusting and tastes foul. Thai food wins hands down

I guess we have all made the mistake of writing some truly idiotic things. moetownblues, join the club.

I don't know how it is idiotic, I am simply saying that I do not like American food. I love thai, chinese, lebonese, russian and many other foods but American food of hotdogs, deep fried chicken and hamburgers is disgusting. So if simply not liking the traditional dishes of another country makes me an idiot then I guess I am. If Americans get offended that I don't like thier food who gives a you know what.

if you really don't like the Americans for their food or if you feel they are too obese or for whatever reason, go tell it straight to their faces. no need to let it all out on a forum.

It's not that I don't like Americans for thier food, It is that I do not like American food. Two very different subjects.

Only an imbecile thinks that all Americans eat is fried chicken and hamburgers. We have a great cuisine with all kinds of foods and all kinds of infuences and dishes are prepared differently all over the country, but you are right, we could care less what loud-mouthed "idiots" - that do not have a clue - think.

umm well I guess I am an idiot because I have never heard of a single one of these things apart from mashed spuds. Guess it is purly American tastes. We do not have American restuarants in Australia, have from many other cultures but never see American Restuarant only the KFC, McDonalds etc

I appreciate honesty.

Believe me, you would like many of these dishes - any Westerner would - and they are just the tip of the iceberg. There are all kinds of regional dishes and American adaptations of ethnic foods that are as good as any food anywhere.
