I'm still waiting for the futuristic pill that replaces a meal.

I hate eating food.

Why do you hate it?

 

[Birdo]

Why do you hate it?

I dunno. It just feels like a chore.

bitch u crazy as hell

 

[O-N-E]

Middle Eastern / Mediterranean cuisines are the best, so if you want to pick a cheat cuisine in that regard, you can go with Israeli as it's a best-of for the area. I'm biased, but it's facts.

 

[DKehoe]

That's a shame. Even if it's in a social context like going out to eat with friends?

 

[West Texas CEO]

lol. I always assumed hamburgers were American. "Burger" definitely sounds German though. I blame McDonalds culture.

Hamburgers are American; invented in a spot in Connecticut called Louis' Lunch.

So, my wife and I have been doing a thing where we cook a meal from a different country every now and then...it’s dropped off since we had a kid but it’s helped me understand how flavors work and such....Italian food seems to really incorporate a lot of these principles well. If you blend tomatoes and onions and certain seasonings, it’s kinda hard to make something taste bad. I’ve slaved away for hours to make some bland shit from Romania before, but give me an hour or two and I’ll make some bomb ass Italian food

 

[Jack Videogames]

Spanish cuisine needs more love itt

PS: Will this start one of those insufferable paella wars? Time will tell

 

[Werewolf Jones]

When I went to Milan last year I can't remember a single meal I ate that was even hype. Meanwhile when I went to Prague I clearly remember their specialties and they were FIRE.

 

[TheMan]

I’d be interested to see what the different interpretations of Italian cuisine around the world actually look like. For example, a lot of Americans equate Olive Garden with real Italian and...that’s not quite right.

 

[Super Mario]

I don't eat Italian all of the time, but when I do, it hits the right way. A really good pasta, pizza, or itaian sub is tough to beat.

 

[Richard Packer]

What is American cuisine is it just burgers and hotdogs?

 

[Riastrad]

We get it, you hate Indian people. You can't expect to be taken seriously with posts like this.

British food is healthier, post photos of a full English breakfast in which everything is fried. Fried fish and fried chips. Beef wrapped with a butter crust.

Make an effort, mate.

Where did I even mention anything about Indians? What I said was that I lament the fact that high quality native European cuisine is being replaced with foreign ethnic brown slop from the third world. I guess it must be "racist" for a European to prefer European food now.

What's wrong with fried food or a butter crust? You're not still buying the "fat is bad" BS are you? I switched from a lifelong high fiber, high-carb, low-fat vegetarian diet based around vegetables and grains to a lower fiber, high-fat, lower carb carnivore diet of mostly pork, beef, dairy and eggs and the improvements to my health are unreal. It's basically a meat and fat heavy take on a traditional English diet and it has completely cured my lifelong IBS. I've dropped fat, gained muscle, and have way more energy. I eat 1.5 lbs or so of meat a day and probably half of it is pan fried in lard. There's no way I will ever go back to a veg/grain based diet.

Don't forget grilled cheese sandwiches.

Italians hate British Food yet Fish n Chips was invented by Italian Immigrants!

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

European food in general is just by the far the best. 90% of "ethnic" cuisine is just brown slop with spices in it.

Proper British food

Ethnic "food"

British food is pathetic.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Oh I forgot about desserts. I said before I'm not the biggest fan of Italian food, but desserts are good. It seems lots of European countries have awesome desserts. Lots of nice pastries and cakes and shit I like.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

My favouroite is definitely Thai Cuisine when I have it.

Despite that I went to one had got terrible food poisoning.

 

[Riastrad]

British food is pathetic.

I always hear "minorities" expressing this kind of sentiment. Then they get triggered when we say we don't like the brown turdlike slop that they call food lol.

You can't be serious. You sound like a homeless man who eats actual shit but thinks he eats better than everyone else.
Delusional as hell.

There are a lot of things you can be proud of as a brit, but this isn't it.

Nearly every post of yours in this thread is alluding to Indian food, food by people who've just washed in the Ganges and your precious European food being "replaced. " Which is dumb enough as it is. Then there's your short post history. I can't imagine why I would come to the conclusion that you've got a chip on your shoulder when it comes to race.

As someone who isn’t American, when I think of American food I think of burgers, hot dogs, BBQ (ribs, brisket etc.), Cajun food, Apple pie, wings and pancake stacks.

100% of British food was invented by immigrants.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Thai food is my MVP. Chiang Mai sausage is god-tier grub.

 

[pLow7]

A few things:

1. That's not brown slop. It's meat, potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding with gravy on it. This is brown slop. Most ethnic cuisine looks like the result of some dude taking a squat after drinking from the Ganges. The absolute state of it.

2. British food is amazing. It's not to your taste because you're used to turdlike ethnic slop. Same way a man raised on Hip Hop probably isn't going to appreciate a Bruckner symphony. But British food is just objectively better and healthier than all of this imported turd world slime. I grew up eating alot of this ethnic gruel (kebabs, curries etc) and was crippled with stomach problems. Switching to a traditional British diet fixed me right up.

Full English Breakfast

Fish and Chips

Beef Wellington

Sunday roast

VS

Ethnic bowel movement/raw sewage

3. Good luck finding British food in London lol. This is pretty much every London eatery now. If you look closely you can see the cockroaches scuttling about. He's probably holding his dick with his free hand.

I'm sorry but none of your "british" food looks remotely tasty. Looks bland af.

Reading your psot again you seem like a racist piece of shit, so nevermind.

 

[DKehoe]

I always hear "minorities" expressing this kind of sentiment. Then they get triggered when we say we don't like the brown turdlike slop that they call food lol.

Curry is basically the nation’s favourite food. So who is “we”?

 

[IntentionalPun]

The people saying "most ethnic food looks like brown slop" are fucking killing me in this thread.

Like... have you eaten Indian food once and come to that conclusion?

But even Indian food has a huge variety of colorful dishes... yes they focus on curries (sauces) for many dishes, but they come in a variety of colors and flavors. There's also tandoori meats which are amazing. Probably the best tasting chicken outside of great American BBQ.

And then there's the rest of the world's foods lol

Basically ya'll are projecting "my mum made me eat indian food once, yucky, give me my fish tendies".

I'm still waiting for the futuristic pill that replaces a meal.

I hate eating food.

Garfield and Friends did an skit on this in 1989

Rip Van Kitty: At the park, Garfield falls asleep, whereas Jon resents his sloth and decides that if Garfield wants to sleep where everyone else is enjoying the outdoors, so be it. Garfield is glad he won and falls asleep. 20 years later, Garfield awakens to a retro-futuristic world as an elderly version of himself and goes home to be greeted by Jon, who now has a long white beard. Garfield does not like the future, as all food has been processed into a pill. Although TVs are now the size of walls, the only thing worth watching is an aged Binky the Clown show, which gets interrupted by a news report that Earth is under attack by space aliens who eat everything in sight, then sleep 23 hours a day. The invaders turn out to be a race of Garfields! Garfield, who locked himself in another room, remarks he should have seen that one coming. Garfield then realizes Nermal is still alive, and will be glad to see an aging, decrepit cat. However, Nermal appears as the same cute kitten as always, causing Garfield to beg the invaders to abduct him. This wakes up Garfield for real, who realizes it was only a nightmare. He goes to see Jon, who is glad Garfield is joining him in the park instead of snoozing his life away. Garfield expects lunch, then Jon presents Garfield and himself with a pill. Thinking that the nightmare is real, Garfield runs away screaming, whereas Jon remarks to Odie why Garfield was scared of a simple vitamin pill, then presents his lunch of a sumptous barbeque.

Pizzas and hamburgers are the best foods. Italy and America are both number 1 for me.

Homemade hamburger or mcdonald's or whatever chain restaurant?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I'm not a fan of Italian food. It's just so bland, and seems to be heavily infused with pasta, salads, bread and tomato this and that.

On the plus side, if you make it at home or are a restaurant making it, the food is cheap to make. It's mostly carbs.

The best thing is pizza.

Pizza alone puts Italian at #1. The other stuff is just garnish on the pasta.

Jesus Christ, what is this?

There’s a million meat, fish and vegetable dishes in Italian cuisine. An average Italian cook can do things with eggplants, zucchini and peppers you could never imagine, let alone with fish, veal and pork. Oh, and seafood. Any region in Italy that’s touched by the sea (so, all of Italy except the northernmost regions) can offer you a thousand different seafood dishes.

Pasta, pizza and tomato are cheap as fuck, that’s why anyone with little time to cook will always have that around. Oh, and while salads are a staple food of summer, nobody eats salad in winter. People living near the mountains will give you looks if you eat salad, and you may hear them whisper the local dialectal equivalent of “goat” too, lol.

Nobody does pizza like the Italians, that’s true. But our cuisine is so much more than that. My mother’s partner is a wonderful cook, and I’ve never seen him make pizza and it’s quite rare for him to just serve pasta with something lazily poured over it.

Even Gravy? If so, then I am glad it ain't British!

 

[Paulxo87]

Here's some of my famous italian foods that I do from scratch. Home made sauce, meatballs, cutlets. You name it.

 

[thefool]

Mediterranean cuisine is obviously the best in the world (this isn't even up to discussion), but italian in particular is the worst in that group tbh. Way too much cheese.

 

[008]

People love pizza. Duh

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Maccas, homemade or from the local take away. I like them all.

I don't disagree with your argument for european cuisine exceptionalism, but posting pics of british food isn't helping imo.

Need Scopa itt

 

[Frito_Pendejo]

With my grandparents being from Calabria, dead now unfortunately, most of my life I’ve eaten authentic Italian cuisine. I can’t imagine loving a style of food more. I could live the rest of my life only eating Italian food and be a happy camper.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Outside pizza, Mexican food beats everything Italian. Even Tex-Mex stuff. I can see why Italian food is popular though even though the pizza most people eat isn't even "Italian". Hell they didn't even have tomatoes until recently/when the new world was discovered lol.

 

[Insane Metal]

Pizza = win.

Also you guys should try Brazilian food. I hate most things here, but the food is amazing.

All food evolved over time; Italian food now has tomatoes.

"They didn't even have farms until 10,000 BC, nothing is authentic unless it's just meat and foraged ingredients."

Their staple food's main ingredient originated from the other side of the world. You don't find that funny?

I find it interesting; but it in no way makes it not "Italian" to have tomatoes in a dish just because they've "only" been using them for 6 centuries lol

The popular pizza most people eat isn't the traditional one. That is why I called it "Italian".

 

[IntentionalPun]

Sure; it's inspired by Italian pizza.

Same with just about any version of any food outside of the place of origin. Also plenty of very similar/"authentic" versions of cuisines all over the world no in their place of origin.

Who cares?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Who cares?

You do.

 

[epicnemesis]

Southern American food is the best food. You get the “best of” hotlist of fried foods along with BBQ. Everyone who says Italian is better just doesn’t know any better. I doubt Sergio in Spain has eaten brisket or proper fried chicken.

 

[The Pleasure]

looks like a bunch of

[Shadowplay1979]

As an italian i agree, theres is nothing ive ever eaten as good as the food made by realtives or just in general from my fathers hometown. Really youve never eaten italian unless you ate food IN Italy.

That being said i love lots of Japanese and Indian food. Im a vegetarian and its really easy to find great indian recipes. I love how in Tokyo i can find a great Italian spot, great and Indian food and of course...japanese.
