Well DaButt, I've said it before and I'll say it again - both the British and the Americans eat from each other's trash cans.
A chicken wing? No thank you, we throw those away.
Potato Skins? No thank you, we throw those away.
A Hot Dog? No thank you, that's just ground up pig genitalia.
Squirrel Pie? My God man, what will you offer me next? A rat on a stick? Be gone with you and take your Cajun spiced rodents with you.

My favourite victim was Susie - God, I miss her! As I strangled her, she threw her breasts up at me, her hands scratching at my face. She eventually gave up struggling and her tiny little hands slid down and fell to the floor as I snapped her lovely little neck. Yum, yum!

No, that was John Haigh.
Quote: Tim Walker @ October 7 2009, 12:28 AM BSTNah, theirs is too sickly-sweet mostly and doesn't have the texture of the best British chocolate. Seriously, when it comes to candy/chocolate bars we beat anywhere hands-down, I reckon. Chocolate is a national obsession here.
1) Agree
2) How dare you! But you guys aren't big fans of offal generally, are you?
3) Treason! Treacle tart and custard is one of the best things ever invented.
4) Due to "PC" it is starting to be called something else (*groans*). Not really eaten anymore here.
5) Wouldn't know what their food actually tasted like, but to me it looked great. Anyway, they were (one now being dead) good old English eccentrics.
Maybe it's because I prefer dark chocolate? I'm not a big fan of milk chocolate.
2) Offal is awful.
5) Everything I saw them cook seemed like it contained nasty fish, a pound of butter, leeks, parsnips, some offal and a hunk of lard.

Didn't Christie try one with acid? I know he was mainly a strangle-them-and-brick-'em-up type of chap, but I'm sure he experimented.

I don't think they know how many he killed in the end. 
Well, whoever it was, the Clunes movie was still walking out of an airplane worthy.
Is the UK really this screwed up?

"Let's put 2/3 of our criminals who should be in prison back on the streets."
This kind of thing wouldn't bring hellish political death to anyone who supported it?
Is there still an obsession with putting sweet corn on everything? I had it turn up in salads and on pizzas, usually with the water it was cooked in.
Things I miss.
1) The comedy. On the telly and all the live tapings you can go to for free!
2) The way the UK has programs and opportunities for writers. There's so much I would go out for if I lived there.
3) The cloud cover.
4) The people
5) The NHS. Saved my life.
6) The style.
7) How you don't need to drive to get around.
8)CHOCOLATE! A row at Tescos. And that cereal that was chocolate granola with white and dark chocolate shavings.
Sad now.

Aww, thanks! That the first face rubby thing I've got here. It's like two cats, isn't it? Here's one for you
Pub Quizzes- No other nation has such broad but shallow knowledge of information they will never use or be any use to the country's future survival.

British pub quizzes, I love the strategies people emply, like "Accidently" shouting out the wrong answer to throw people off the scent.
God I love the UK sometimes...
And American Choclate does taste like poo, has anyone read the back of a hersheys wrapper? It's like reading a chemical composition of Zinc...
