When people say it's healthy or better because it's homemade.

I'm not saying you can't make better food at home, because you definitely can with the right research, experience, and tools. But the people that advertise it the most are terrible cooks who are overly enthusiastic about trying something new.

Pic related. Better than the real thing! I think it's time to start a blog and start sharing my families meals.

>No. Your children secretly hate you. Dad takes everyone to McDonald's and they throw away the trash at the park to destroy the evidence. No one reads your posts and your followers are spambots and other bloggers who want you to follow them back. Cooking fried rice in a skillet is like making barbecue with liquid smoke. Quit pretending you're an authentic Chinese cook because your sister slept with a guy in college (he was really Korean). It was your first try and you're just surprised you didn't blow up the kitchen. Drink a vodka tonic and go to bed.

Mainly [insert exclusive diet here]

Not eating something out of some self-imposed principle, and actively contributing to their pickiness regarding food.

On its own, it's mildly irritating, but it's basically never on its own, and usually requires hosts to make special allowances for their choice, at best, and at worst, they get all Jehovah's Witness about it, and talk about it incessantly, and try to get other people to convert, and generally piss me off.

Sorry guys, but eating red meat almost everyday and drinking a few servings of beverages that contain a minimum of 100 calories aren't healthy habits.
They actually thought I was going "anorexic" when I started to drink water and eat steamed broccoli and fish filets consistently. And don't even get me started about their reaction when I said I was going vegetarian for awhile.

Because most people I've encountered at least that order well done steaks do so not as a matter of taste preference, but because they think anything with some pink in it will give you food poisoning.

I grew up with a family who would cook steaks til they were well done and leathery. The steak would be tough to chew, burnt in areas, etc. I ended up being put off eating steak entirely for years until I decided to say 'fuck it' and order a medium rare steak (had to start in small steps) which was delicious, but even now I still find it hard to order steaks because I was just that put off thanks to my family's cooking.

No. Your produce is rubbish. Your dairy, however, is quite good. Your cuisine isn't bad, either.

I've really not a clue why you've got this rather poor culinary image abroad. If not overcooked, a full English Sunday roast is a masterpiece. Scottish cockaleekie is a glory to the taste buds. There is no more delicious hands-on/portable food than a proper Cornish pasty. Who wouldn't want to eat Welsh rarebit? This are dishes that even Escoffier thought should be preserved for future generations and so he did.
The reputation the cuisine of the British Isles (Ireland and the UK) has is unwarranted.

But that's not produce. Produce encompasses fruits and vegetables only, or am I wrong? This is (assuming you're the Brit to whom I responded) your language, so correct me if I'm wrong. I'd thought that meat, dairy and cereals are not categorised as produce. I'll agree your meat is quite good, but the quality of your dairy surpasses it, especially since Jersey is part of your nation. Jersey milk is best milk.

That makes me feel a little better. I like spices in general, but I cannot take hot spices. Jalapeno is about as hot as I can get. I feel bad cause I know I'm missing out on some things that probably taste amazing.

The only real peeve I have is the whole well done steak thing. There is a little roadhouse near us that makes perfect medium steals. My father-in-law once 'accidentally' served me a rare steak and I nearly died from how delicious it was. I just don't trust my own cooking skills enough to do anything below medium.

People wasting food. I'm an exchange student at an American college and I'm in awe of how much the average student throws away on a daily basis. Not trying to generalize, by the way, obviously there are also normal minded people out there - I just haven't met too many so far.

>at dining hall: people load their plates with 4 different kinds of entrees + huge ass pizza slice on top, then eat half the pizza and throw the rest away
>at the restaurant: people order the everything sampler, eat the meatballs and then decide to get Wendys after
>at home watching movies: people buy snack packs and decide halfway through that the rest is "too crumbly" and deem it unacceptable for further eating
>at the very few times, somebody has leftovers and wants to keep them, they put them in a box in the fridge, forget about em and throw them away after a week

On a sidenote, just in general, I think it's crazy of how often my fellow students go out to eat. They're all complaining about not having enough money (this also is a poor region of the US), but they can't be arsed to cook anything but hot pockets or kraft cheese shells for themselves.

(I know I sound preachy, and I apologise for that)

And yeah, I hate how my friends bitch about being poor all the time. Most of them are in the same financial position I am in, but I don't eat out as much, and I take my own lunch to work and uni. I do this because I hate the idea of living paycheck-to-paycheck like they do, and it's so avoidable too.

I live near Philly. It's funny because the best cheesesteaks you get from a guy on the corner in one of those food carts.
There are two/three restaurants always fighting over who started/who's the best at cheesesteaks, and the street vendor near the science museum does them in a GODLY manner, with real cheese and fried onions and it's amazing.

Best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia are from most any corner place that sells cheesesteaks and/or most any diner/lunch counter and/or most any cart/truck.
Pat's, Geno's, Jim's, Rick's, Steve's, Chink's, Phil's and Tony Luke's (amongst others) are each just as awful as the next. I've no understanding at all as to why anyone would laud any one of them over any other as they're all equally poor. My assumption would be that they would do so only for neighbourhood pride or specific affiliations, such as east South Philly Tony Luke's and the west part preferring Phil's, lower Northeasterners preferring Chink's and those of the greater Northeast being in Jim's corner. Those from further out beyond that like Steve's and tourists go to Geno's. People from South Jersey who think themselves Philadelphians prefer Pat's and no one likes Rick's, people just buy them because there's no one else selling cheesesteaks inside the stadium.

Places like Applebees, Chili's, or any other suburban strip-mall family feed-bag tailor all their food to appeal to people with the palate of a six-year-old. I've tried ordering souvlaki or a salmon from that kind of place before and always gotten a pile of bland disappointment. Since then I've learned that when I end up at that sort of place because it's where others want to go, I should stick to foods that in their natural state are meant to appeal to someone with the palate of a six-year-old—that way at least you'll be getting the American portion of greasy indifference the baby jesus intended.
