Nah. Fish and chips rarely fails if drunken with good beer.

Woah dude, you trippin!

>>10734672
not outside my country, but bbw always disappoints me. my bro and i go south to nc to visit my brother and he always wants bbq like we are in texas or something and it always sucks.

>>10734672
What is it that makes it so much better in the uk?
I live here, and it’s even disappointing when you go to a ‘fancy’ fish and chip place. You have to go to a regular chippy on a street corner if you want the GOAT fish and chip experience.
Battered Sausage is also the best side order.

>>10734672
This is borderline cheating since it's just across the pond, but the best fish n chips I've ever had was in Bundoran, Donegal.

>>10734672
Anything asian

>>10734938
I hope to visit the UK and try some fish and chips there. I wanna see how it compares to the southern US's fried foods game.
>>10734802
Question, but is Oklahoma BBQ comparable to Texas BBQ? Because I moved here after hearing the BBQ is great and it all sucks. I had a lot better up north in Indy, but then again most of my family and those BBQ places were from the south so...

>>10734672
Tacos outside of mexico can be entirely nothing like an actual taco
Disturbing doesnt cover how bad it is.

>>10735565
That's pretty similar to every taco I've had, what else would you put on it?

>>10734688
>i-it’s good with beer!
is this the
>it’s fun if you play it with friends
of food?

>>10735770
Carne, cilantro, lime, maybe onions on a small corn tortilla. Anything else is americanized

Never ever ever get Hot Chicken outside of Nashville.

>>10735832
Literally there are games that friends are required to play.
I call them no-singles-policy games.

>>10735565
>>10735840
This, Jesus christ. Lettuce? Avocado? Diced tomato? Ground beef? Chicken? Come the fuck on, people.

anything Asian and Italian
especially pizza

>>10736678
hah, fuck off.
went to italy. paid about 2x as i would have normally paid here for a pizza (several times). wasn't ever nearly as good as here. it was all shite.

>>10736021
ok. now that my good sir is epic

>>10736710
> paid 2x for a pizza
You got bamboozled. You were probably scummed (you don't even tell where in Italy you went) but in any common pizzeria in Naples (which make the best pizza) are around 4/5 euros. In North Italy you rarely exceed 6/7 euros for pizza with topping.

>>10735565
This is a bad taco

poke outside of hawaii. none of you fuckers do it roght, you always add way too many sauces and toppings or try to do it with like 20 different types of fish that don't all work.

>>10734689
Literally the mesopotamians:

>The [Epic of Gilgamesh] tells us of Gilgamesh’s semi-divine ancestry and then introduces the wild man Enkidu, who is required to slay a demon living in a distant cedar forest. The wild man is persuaded to join civilisation by a prostitute named Shanhat, who educates him in the ways of men:

>>Enkidu knew nothing about eating bread for food,

>>And of drinking beer he had not been taught.

>>The harlot spoke to Enkidu, saying:

>>“Eat the food, Enkidu, it is the way one lives.

>>Drink the beer, as is the custom of the land.”

>>Enkidu ates the food until he was sated,

>>He drank the beer-seven jugs! and became expansive and sang with joy!

It's pretty difficult to find places that make decent versions of Key Lime Pie that are not based in Florida.

>>10736960
Imagine what beer was like back then.
Probably got you fucked up to hell and back.

>>10736975

naw they didn't have the knowledge of brewing we have and it was probably about half as strong as light beer usually

>>10736944

>hawaiian guy tries one poke place outside of hawaii and decides that's the only poke place on mainland

>>10735842
What's the deal with the pickles anyway

>>10736975
No it was less strong and more thick - designed to be a large amount of calories

>>10735230
No. Nothing in Oklahoma is comparable to Texas. I live about a half hour from the OK/TX border and literally everything and everyone there is shit. I don't know exactly what makes it this way but Oklahoma is an insufferable land of desolation

>>10737041
Kek, I live in MS and although it's a shithole, the people are generally easygoing and believe it or not, somewhat rational when you disregard the evangelical presence. Okies are batshit whitetrash, through and through, and they can't even hold up one food item as an original. I pity you.

>>10737220
Oh I thankfully live on the Texas side, however I work in the closest actual city in a 60+ mile radius (30k pop) and there is an influx of absolute retards from Oklahoma shitting up the place. They can't fucking drive for shit, they stand and gaze at aisles in stores like they're fucking jigsaw puzzles, and they reek of cigarettes. I consider myself pretty degenerate and trashy but I hold myself still higher on the social pole than anyone I've ever met from Oklahoma

>>10736710
but pizza is chinese...

>>10734672
I ate fish n chips in London once. Was a pajeet shop under some bridge near a train station.
Was shit.

Are it later in Glasgow. Was fucking great.

English cuisine is just plaine shite, they even fail at their own dishes.

>>10737310

Making a statement whilst contradicting your original words is a sure sign of fucking madness.

>>10737381
Learn to cite, retard.

>>10737035
So basically alcoholic soylent?

>>10737403
Learn to compose a coherent argument, twat.

pizza. yes im looking at you, americans

>>10737432
no. this is 4chan. correct greentexting is more important than logic and valid arguments.

>>10737437
Yeah gonna have to disagree with you there. Not that Italian pizza is bad, but New York style pizza is also good. And you can get a decent New York slice all over America, plus there's plenty of Italian restaurants in America making good Neapolitan pizza. There's certainly way more bad pizza in America than good pizza, but you certainly don't have to go Italy for good pizza.

Do other countries try to replicate American BBQ ever? Is it any good?

>>10737310
>fish and chips
>london

mate lmao don't do that

>>10734672
hawaiin pizza

>>10737634
Yes.
No.

They generally go with generic BBQ or try do some smoker version of BBQ but it's never right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_fried_rice

BEHOLD

>>10734672
Japanese ramen of any kind.

Some of the most depressing meals are those
>oh boy barely any meat, it's just shaved thin to look like there is a bunch
>vegetables, have a nice dusting on top there because that's all you get
>half a pound of noodles and oil
>order a pork bowl extra spicy, comes out with tabasco in it


like 850 yen down the shitter I could have just gone and gotten a kebab

>>10735565
>date a girl from el salvador
>wants me to experience authentic food always brags about how amazing it is
>go to this place she tells me to let her order
>they put lettuce on the meal she complains a fuckload about "oh they probably saw you and assumed american style, we can get something good for dinner"
>go get some stuff later from this place she knows
>beans, some meat, lime on the side
>most bland thing I've ever fucking eaten in my life
>"see anon this is so good I could order more"
>have to drown the fucker in hotsauce so it feels like i am eating something

>>10737926
yo wut the fuck

>>10737996
Where I live there's a bunch of Italians who own pizza places. All the places are pretty nice but the pizza is mediocre as fuck. Then there's this one shitty little pizza place out behind a bunch of doctor's offices run by an El Salvadoran guy. This man makes the best pizza I've ever had in my life.

>>10736678
Pizza is an example of food that almost always disappoints when you order it inside it's country of origin.

>>10738032
Same but with people from NY, I know true italians who suck at making pizza. Their pasta is no joke, and the sauce is top, but man some kind of major fuckup when trying to make pizza or calzones

Not outside the country, but in the US, if you get Vietnamese food outside a major Vietnamese populated city, it's going to suck shit.

>>10734672
I'm from the US, grew up partially in Buffalo and partly in FL. There is a strong Catholic Friday fish fry tradition in both parts of the country. I've also been to London and done fish there, and it's really no different. It's not a complex dish to make. As long as you use a good fish, and make a good batter (which basically means not being a retard) that's really all there is to it. I mean, they are both good, pretty much equal, there really isn't a lot of variation in such a simple dish.

>>10736783
I love the C O P E of yuros
>our food is in every way superior to your amerifat food
>"what, it wasn't?", well you didn't go to the right place
>"you went to a dozen places?" well, they only serve shit to tourists anyway
sounds like your food just sucks.....

>>10735565
Are we still pretending that "authentic" tacos are better than the Americanized ones?

>>10735565
>>10738478
That's not authentic, is it? Even for a texmex style it's somehow both tryhard and shitty at the same time
>cheddar has to be hand shredded
>beef must be grass fed
>go with flavorless low fat sour cream
>use shit salsa from a jar
>lettuce

>>10738478
They absolutely are you goddamned retard.

>>10738509
That's not a picture of an authentic taco, and it wasn't trying to be

>>10737310
>English cuisine is just plaine shite, they even fail at their own dishes.
Pajeets aren't English.

>>10735565
>LowFat Sour Cream

>>10734672
Aussie fish & chips > bong fish & chips

>>10734672
Disagree Newfoundland had some amazing fish and chips

>>10735230
Okiefag here. There is good bbq to be had, but honestly not outside of the OKC area from what I’ve seen. I’ve had bad (Swadleys for one) and GOAT bbq. Best bbq I had was in Memphis, though.

>>10735565
>no black olives
This is not flavortown.

...ok

>>10736710
Wow you sound like a retard. Pizza was literally the only affordable food when I went to Italy.
>order a mushroom pizza from a restaurant
>”feeds one” on menu in Italian
>pizza gets to me and it’s fucking massive 14 inch large pizza
>comment on it to waitress
>”oh haha our chef is from Naples, so he makes he takes his pizza very seriously!”
>mfw 5 euros

Granted this was 2003, but in Rome you can get pizza by weight at any corner vendor that has decent toppings for 3 Euro if you aren’t in a tourist trap last I checked. You just need to avoid the tourist traps. My “litmus test” is to see how much a street vendor is getting away with charging for a coke or bottle of water. If it seems ridiculous, then the places around there probably will be too, because rent is probably high.

>>10736975
Beer was historically much weaker, unless you’re talking about Dopplebock or other abbey brews. But as another anon said, those were more for calories. Fun fact: dopplebocks were brewed for Lent and other times of fasting by monks, because technically it was permissible, and was their only source of calories during that time.

>>10739744
It also didn't have hops. Yup, just pure, sickly-sweet malts.

>>10738044
Pizza is mostly a southern italian thing.
If you order it in Milan or Florence (or in tourist traps everywhere) it's usually pretty good, but rarely great.

>>10734672
There's lots of pubs and chip shops in Canada that serve good fish and chips. Lots of shitty ones too though. Its hit and miss, trial and error, but there's great ones to be found.

Speaking of which, poutine. You cannot find good poutine outside of Canada, everywhere that tries can't even get the fundamentals right, they just throw cheese on top of fries and gravy.

>>10734672
Wendy's

>>10739748
also, many italian pizzerias a run by northern africans (especially egyptians), turks or chinese nowadays.

>>10739750

>American poutine
>shredded cheese and canned gravy

What the fuck, you'd think Americans would be all over fries and gravy and cheese but apparently none of them outside Wisconsin know what a fucking cheese curd is

t. angry leaf

>>10739878
>shredded cheese and canned gravy
It's infuriating that they get away with calling this poutine.

>>10738395
our food is superior despite your shitty amerilard opinion. you claim to have paid 2x for a pizza which is impossible unless your pizza is 3$ avg.
> dozen place
I don't know, you must have a really stupid face to get scummed this often

>>10735565
Remove lettuce
Remove sour cream
Remove shredded cheese
Remove tomatoes
Use pulled meat instead of ground beef
Use lime rice or authentic mexi rice
Guac or avocado
Salsa
Lime
Cilantro

Fucking stupid niggers and your shitty tacos

>>10740422
>Euros' only retort is not acceptance or self criticism, but insults
Typical gypsy-like scum, your Romani heritage is calling.

>>10741034
>>10741034
it seems like you had a stroke, cut down your fat intake amerilard.

that guy states that he paid two times what you pay in USA for a pizza. now or your pizza is $3 average, which is not obviously, since in Italy the average for a pizza is 5 to 7 euros. this is a objectively and verifiable fact. If he paid two times really the price of a pizza in America he got scammed. if you got scammed those enough time so you must be really stupid. he didn't even mention when he got the pizza it just states generic Italy which is stupid since not all Italy makes good pizza. it will probably turn out that he got Pizza in Venice or Roma or some other tourist trap.
> criticism
I don't see any criticism I just see some false claim or naive person.
don't mind answering me, it is clear that you are clinically retarded

>>10735842
I've never been to Nashville but Howlin Rays in LA is pretty legit for some hot chicken.

Croissants in Germany. Pic related

>>10741034
Nice damage control.
Retard.
:)

>>10735840
Absolutely false.

>>10737026

read this in Seinfeld's voice

>>10738395

ameritard here, it's not their fault you fell into tourist trap after tourist trap

yes, if you don't know what you're looking for you won't find it.

>>10741863
So it's incredibly uncommon, interesting

>>10741875
it's uncommon if you visit the same 4 city. but what do I expect, you making research ? naaah

>>10734688
you mean cup of tea and buttered brown bread

>>10736975
It was a normal drink often shared with children because it was the best way to preserve liquids like water in an age before reliable refrigeration. There were various forms of beer, some meant to get the peasants drunk and some literally used in place of water as the standard beverage of choice for all people.

>>10735832
>Does beer go with a fried beer-battered food
Jesus you're dumb
