In you’re dating in Prague, you can split the Czech.

So two cannibals are eating a man and they decide one shall start at the feet and the other at the head.

I expected General Woundwort to appear.

They do indeed. Last time I was in London there was a cabbie shelter outside the hotel. I would get a bacon butty (with HP sauce) and mug of tea every morning on the way to to the office. Nothing like it.

...and sometimes it is their own places that have the good stuff...

Interesting that you show M&S (Marks and Spencer) foods in your lead image, which is some of the best in-store convenience food you will find anywhere. Not sub-par at all.

Spent 5 weeks over the summer in Cambridge, UK for undergrad living on a tight budget: hostel for my stay, walked everywhere, ate Sainsbury sandwiches.

My crowning achievement though, was filling up on a full English breakfast (eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, toast), granola, juice, tea, coffee, and yogurt every morning…

Re the photo above. M&S (the UK’s Marks and Spencer) actually offer some decent ready-made meals and sandwiches worldwide. Cheap, sure, but then again, a normal restaurant meal in the UK is definitely not inexpensive. Even fast food chains there are overpriced. I often check out these ready-made meals in British…

I think there is a difference between terrible meals and local/common grub.   One is experiencing the fabric of the place and the other is just calories.    Some of it might be cheap and/or not that healthy but it can at least taste good. 

I think it was in 1972, 2 of my male classmates got into Home Economics class. It was also that year that the Betty Crocker award exam allowed males to participate, and I convince a fair number of the lads to take it. I won the thing,and a male friend of mine placed 2nd. I got a nifty silver pin and a grant if I…

Quite a few people eat burgers in lettuce leaves, etc...

In the vast majority or cases we’ll eat burgers in a bun.

You are not wrong, that does sound great. Unfortunately, I’ve lost my ability to trust American Kit Kat bars not to be sickly sweet and cheap-tasting. Perhaps I will give this a try when I see it and likely then bemoan its failure, hoping that it’s finally not quite as bad as it’s been the last 25 years.

In the U.K. we would identify it as a burger. Be it crocodile, wild boar, ostrich, veal, iberico, kangaroo, lamb, buffalo, etc...

Lidl also sell Highland Game venison from Dundee, as do many other supermarkets.

Now all she needs to do is have a fist fight with Andy Capp!

The Scotch Egg was invented by Fortnum & Mason (i.e. “The Queen’s Grocer”).

Of course he did.

Based on the article, it appears that the Judge’s justification was that Americans don’t know that Gruyere comes from a specific area. Deciding legal rulings on the ignorance of Americans seems like a really, really, really, dumb thing to do and I don’t see how it is defensible, even for American products that enjoy…
