You do realise any some of our foreign friends here mightn't know what the fuck we're on about 🤣 Actually, I don't. However, if any of you have a good recipe for peanut butter cookies, I'm open to suggestions. Got to make them for grandma's cookie jar so the grand kids know I'm still alive. Grandma's cookie jar is an American custom of which you might not understand. As for the comments about Italian style food: whatever nationality your are, try to always use home grown Roma tomatoes. Visiting England is all about judging ales and fish & chips, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The closest thing to a good steak in GB is mutton. Let the Brits stick with fish and chips and beer. They know that the best. Do they still allow the walk up windows with the F&C wrapped in the daily newspaper/fish wrapper? I miss that. The best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly newspapers are toxic, although I know as a fact that nearly all printing ink in the US, and probably GB is soy or other vegetable oils. No longer fossil fuels. Yet another great British custom has been destroyed. 😥 Alas, times change. I was also told that an American tourist should not drink too much of the pub ale when visiting, because it was strong. Due to taxation on alcohol content, I found the ales very nice and refreshing, and not nearly as potent as American craft brews. They were mostly damn near buzz-proof. I really enjoyed it, anyway, and decided that the ales were very fun and the fish & chips were better than 90% of North America's. I got a British-made IPA called "Spitfire" finally -- excellent -- but that was in the duty-free section of the airport. (Having brewed beers, my favorite beer has been Theakston's Old Peculiar. I could not replicate it with my equipment. It's awesome. It's peculiar. It should be the UK's national beer. A pint of that and an order of chippy would be just fine. But for god's sake, learn how to make coffee. In return, I'll teach my people how to brew a good cup of tea. I promise. 🙃 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foamy T. Squirrel Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Send me a virtual case of this ale in PM's. I can't find it in stores anywhere in the States. But I can still pretend! 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
