Are there any other faggots here who dream of going to the USA and binging on the abundance of greasy crap they have?

I think for my next holiday I'll travel to North America, by myself, and return as some grotesque dough ball.

there's a taco shop in my town of Dallas, Oregon that has a giant plate for $5.50

imagine you could ask for them if they have fries, beef, avocado, sour cream, cheese maybe they'll put it on the menu

Is food in Europe really not greasy at all? I mean, it's not like every meal we eat or every vendor that sells food has those absurd deep-fired everything piles of grease foods that one might see in pictures.

And why come here? Don't you people have deep-fryers? Why not just make disgusting foods where you live?

when i drove down to usa, i went to the taco bell which we dont have here, anyways, it wasnt that good, we had a taco bell here, but they closed it, it was good. also i wanted to try papa johns pizza so i tried that and it was mediocre the coca cola tasted a little bit better then the stuff we have up here. anyway pizza pizza they opened here is the worst pizza ever

they opened up another five guys here, but there menu is stupid small. hot dog or hamburger, cheese or bacon, its boring. fries and drink.

There are lots of greasy food in Euope, but I guess we just eat less of it?

some of my favourite foods are things like salami, cheese, paté, fatty cuts of meat, gravies, I love using rendered fat in cooking because, to quote my great grandmama, the fat is where the flavour is.

I put butter on everything, went to america and they served me pig disgusting "I can't believe it's not butter"

But I have never been served AS MUCH food as I have in america. And food in america generally seems a lot sweeter, maybe you guys eat more sugar than we do, moreso than fat?

[Anonymous No.3962183]

Have to agree with this. The portion sizes in America are two or three times what they are in Europe.

[Anonymous No.3962186]

No one eats fried mars bars here. I think the problem is the portion sizes in the america. They are just huge compared to anything in the uk.

>>3961620
I've been. The south of USA is the best by far. I went to northern Florida:

Awesome tacos, awesome burritos, awesome diners (best french fries and meatloaf sandwich I have EVER had), awesome truckstop eateries (I'm looking at you waffle house), pulled pork BBQ sandwiches with a gazillion different BBQ sauces, tex mex, fried chicken, massive burgers, massive steaks, giant deep fried onions, delicious produce, etc. etc. etc.

I'm married to an american, when I go I pretty much just go to eat fast / junk food every day and eat tons of candy and snacks.

I live in California, and I'm warning you now, if you do happen to come to the U.S. in hopes of binge eating unhealthy greasy foods, do not come to California.
The food is no less unhealthy or greasy, but the flavor quality is much worse than the South or Midwest.
The only places that would be worth it in California are chain restaurants.
Though I do recommend going to West Yellowstone, Wyoming. It's right next to the park, and they have some of the best bison burgers I've ever tasted.

[Anonymous No.3962283]

>>3962183
That's not always true. Seafood portions in France and the UK are a lot bigger than the ones you would be given in America. That's one of the things I look forward to the most when I travel to Europe, because I get so little here.

[Anonymous No.3962289]

>>3961620
OP I'd suggest you go to Texas or Louisiana for your God-food sojourn. Texas for the BBQ and Mexican food, Louisiana for the cajun, creole and soul food. Houston and New Orleans are the two best food cities I've been to, somebody correct me if I'm way off here.

[Anonymous No.3962308]

>>3962204
The only problem with that is you actually have to be in the south to eat the food their. Obviously not worth it.

[Anonymous No.3962312]

The south isn't really that bad like some make it out to be. Just stick to the larger sized cities and avoid the sketchy looking towns with population 500.

I was in DC for a bit and found the Old Ebbit Grill did half priced seafood at the end of the day. I'd go drinking in the evenings and stumble in for a platter of oysters for about £10 before heading back to my hotel.

I lived in Texas for 19 years after I got out of the Army. I visited LA more times than I can remember - both New Orleans and Baton Rouge to enjoy both Cajun and Creole foods. And I know everyone has their pride about their state's bbq but I must hand the winning title to Texas. I've tried Q from all over - NC, TN, KS, MO, MS, GA, AL - some great places to enjoy great food but Texas takes the prize.

If that was truly your experience, it is very likely that you have had bad experiences because you are genuinely a bad person. Many people seem to not realize that the quality of their relationships and encounters with other people are more affected by the type of person YOU are yourself, rather than them.

I've traveled to other countries as well. I have met wonderful people and had great experiences. It's a pity you are too bitter to have enjoyed your travels and times.

I live like two blocks from that stretch of Westheimer in Montrose with all the good restaurants. There are a lot of awesome ones there but my favorite thing is finding delicious and unassuming dives in the more obscure neighborhoods. Third ward, east end, etc. The city is so big and there are so many awesome places to eat that its overwhelming. If you like eating out at ethnic restaurants and you don't mind driving this place is like a promise-land for foodies and fat fucks like me.

OP, you may have heard this, but if you get the chance, you must try In n Out.
Whenever I go there I get a double double (Double cheeseburger) animal style, with animal style fries. (They have processed cheese, caramelized onions, and Thousand Island dressing on them)
I don't go often but I love it whenever I do

I'd agree to an extent. I like me a big burger full of weird toppings but you've gotta draw the line somewhere. If its too big and stuffed to be able to hold and eat without it falling apart then its a shitty burger no matter how good it tastes.

Why does every country think we only eat cheeseburgers, mac and cheese, fried food, and wash it all down with nothing but soda. I haven't had a cheeseburger since June, and I made that myself at a cookout I was having.

This reminds me of this german kid I went to college with in Providence, Rhode Island. He wouldn't stop complaining about how shitty our food was and how bad the beer is. You know where he would go to eat? McDonalds, Wendy's, Papa Gino's, KFC. The beer he was drinking? Bud light, Busch, Keystone. Anyone who knows RI knows it has some great restaurants, especially on Federal Hill. The kid wouldn't even go to a grocery store, he went to 7-11 like that was our grocery store. Then RI isn't the craft beer capital of the USA, but Providence had many bars you could get some real great beer at, and a lot of restaurants to get craft brews at. Then there was Nikki's Liquor to buy your own craft beer.

Not really representative of our appetites friend. You get munchie boxes in a select few areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow for around £10. They mainly cater for extremely stoned and/or drunk students. I doubt anyone has ever actually finished one, but they're alright for sharing if you're baked.

When I was at uni in Glasgow a munchie box usually contained chicken, vegetable and mushroom pakora, onion bhajis, potato fritters, chips, doner meat (lamb), naan bread and chilli sauce. Usually about £10 which is around $16. They're kinda disgusting but irresistible if you're really high.
