I was in Spain and the craziest thing happened, I was hungry and the nearest food place was selling "Authentic Philadelphia Cheese Steaks" So I go in and say bistec con queso. The guy who worked there spoke English and confirmed by saying "Philly cheese steak?" I say yes. In a few minutes I get something in a bag I pay for it and leave.

When I opened it I couldnt believe my eyes. For in front of me was a hamburger bun, a hamburger bun with what appeared to be cut up T-bone steak, but with no fat or bone or grissle. with melted SWISS cheese, lettuce and tomato, and to top it off, un-cooked onions.

Now tell me, what the hell is wrong with European people?

Philadelphia is overrated and so is it's cheese steak.

This is the year we beat the Braves.

This is the year we beat the Braves.

Who are the Braves?

Anything from your own land can never be just like in your own land if it hasn't been produced in your own land.

Now tell me, what the hell is wrong with European people?Well, judging by your story, they are communists and jealous of USA.

Who are the Braves?

The Atlanta Braves! Baseball team, beat the Phillies, Mets, Marlins and Expos every year for so many of these past years! But now the Expos are gone. So now the Braves have to beat Washington, and if you think that the govt. is just going to sit around while their city gets beat by those peach eating bastards your dead wrong. They will get every good player this sport has ever known even if it means using their govt. time machine!

Oh and Philly cheesesteaks are like heaven, shut up Santa Barbera, you have probably never been in Philly.

Well, judging by your story, they are communists and jealous of USA.

I knew it!

th3y r teh suxx0rz!

You are very annoying.

When you're travelling, it's usually best to check out what the locals eat, before you order.

But it's not just europe. The americans sell piss and label it "beer". And "Chinese" food anywhere in the world is most likely far from what you'd get in china...etc.

Oh and Philly cheesesteaks are like heaven, shut up Santa Barbera, you have probably never been in Philly.

So what? I'm omniscient. Plus cheese steaks are gross no matter where they're from - it's science fact.

are you complaining that there was no bone or grissle, or are you complaining that there was no Philadelphia cheese? or that the onions were uncooked?

to be honest, that burger sounds really nice

So what? I'm omniscient. Plus cheese steaks are gross no matter where they're from - it's science fact.

Take a bite out of a Jims Cheese Steak with extra cheese whiz mushrooms, fried onions, maybe some sweat peppers, and your so called "science" Will go down the drain!

Cheese that is advertised on TV is on cheese. You don't advertise cheese, it's just not right. It's not real cheese.

are you complaining that there was no bone or grissle, or are you complaining that there was no Philadelphia cheese? or that the onions were uncooked?

Im complaining that it you showed that to the average American they would refuse feeding it to their pick up truck.

And it sucked.

What the hell is "on cheese"? And what the hell are you talking about with all the other stuff?

prefer a lump of regergetated meat instead of some proper steak?

whats wrong with a hamburger bun with what appeared to be cut up T-bone steak, but with no fat or bone or grissle. with melted SWISS cheese, lettuce and tomato, and to top it off, un-cooked onions.

?

HERETIC!

:p

Sorry, I meant 'not cheese'.

European food is universally better than American crap. Which is why in Europe, you eat European. Not American.

In simple reply to that...

You go to spain and order a philly cheese steak?

WTF ?

That's like going to japan and ordering chinese food.

I wonder what kind of swiss cheese, because... there are a few dozen different types of cheese in Switzerland.

When will people learn that cheese isn't just cheese.

European food is universally better than American crap. Which is why in Europe, you eat European. Not American.

No, you're wrong. :D

My hamburger is better than whatever you can put up. :p

Although, Europeans know their alchohol, I'll grant you that (not including Jack Daniels -- the only real decent American drink)

Little known factoid:

Jack Daniels is distilled in Lynchburg, TN -- a dry county. You can't buy it, or any alcoholic beverage, anywhere in Lynchburg.

:D

How many calories in the Philly cheese steak?

How many calories in the Philly cheese steak?

Too many for any diet. :D

I never knew bone and gristle could be so desirable... :rolleyes:

Maybe the chef foolishly thought that you'd rather eat food than minced-up shit topped with an industrial by-product. I hope that you wandered over to Belgium to complain about their unforgiveable habit of making chocolate with cocoa.

On a personal note, last time I went down to Cornwall some impudent hick tried to feed me ice cream made out of cream, of all things. Naturally, I set fire to him and called in a napalm strike over the entire county.

sounds nice to me, except the onions, onions are crap cooked or uncooked

There is a type of chese known as swiss cheese.

I thought that there was no prohibition anymore in America!

Where do you learn these odd facts? More importantly, do they help you pick up girls?

Which is why when I walk down the street, I see McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, and Subway as the main, universal fast food stores I can get pretty much anywhere in the country.

:rolleyes:

The problem is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
"Philly Cheese Steak" in Spain was the problem. I mean, they were going to use actual good meat instead of the greasy little minute steaks we know and love.

BTW, for all of you who come across the brand "Manhattan Bagels" and think they're authentic -- they're not. I had one on vacation in Virginia and could barely choke it down. You'd be better off with Lender's or Thomases if you're going to get a mass-produced bagel(which resembles the real thing only slightly) -- and BEST off if you come to NYC for REAL bagels.

But now the Expos are gone. So now the Braves have to beat Washington, and if you think that the govt. is just going to sit around while their city gets beat by those peach eating bastards your dead wrong.

Psssst. The Nationals ARE the Expos.

There is no prohibition -- that was federally mandated. This is local.

And I agree with you, Kat, brand-name bagels suck balls. And besides, Katganistan is always right, so I have to agree. :D

I've never even seen a cheesesteak and I don't know what it is. So if you ever find yourself in Iceland, order something else. Otherwise we'll end up with another "why the fuck isn't everything like at home?" type of thread.

A cheesesteak is VERY thinly sliced beef, grilled with onions, a bit of tomato-based sauce, green peppers, and cheddar cheese, stuck in a long roll and best eaten hot off the grill. Nice additions to said meal are a cold beer and hot pretzel with mustard, or else a lemon water ice.

Sounds quite yummy. Except the pretzel thing, that's one of those foodstuff's I've never understood (along with fluff, peanut butter and Ben&Jerry's...ack)

Ah, I don't think I've eaten those. I've tried some imported american and danish ones. Those were pretty nasty, but I guess those aren't the same ones as you are talking about.

And no, I don't live in Philly -- but I eat there a couple times a year. :)

If you want American food, stay in America. Don't expect us Europeans to stoop down to your level of culinary retardness. Seriously, the next time a foreign power invades America, just throw your mangy Philly steakburgers at them and they will die either from disgust that people actually eat those horrid things or from poisoing as they try to eat them.

What is wrong with you? Sure blame all Europeans for the actions of one Spanish man. You could at least say 'What is wrong with Spanish people?' if your going to generalize.
If you go outside of the U.S.A. your going to find that people in other nations tend to do things their way not in the American way.

I agree, but you have to understand his point of view. it was called a Philiadelphia Cheese Steak, so he assumed -- evidentally, wrongly -- that it would be a steak with cheeze made in the manner of Philiadelphia.

Well I had a good laugh at this one. I use to live in the UK. The worst food on earth is from the UK. There isnt even a close second. So please fix your crappy food before looking down on others.

I heard food in the UK was quite good -- so long as you ate ethnic take-away. Still, I'll give it a whirl, and I won't expect it to be like McDonald's. ;)

Yay for Spain.

I hate Philly because they claim to be the craddle of the revolution. HA! It started in Massachussets, and our first free government was in Boston. The first battles of the war were fought in Massachussets, and the men who put the thing in motion were from Massachussets(John Adams, Sam Adams, etc).

I hate Philly Cheese Steaks because they aren't tasty. I hate them.

Now fried claim strips or Fish n' Chips. That is mmmmmmmmmmm.

That is true.

I mean, Black Pudding? ERGH!

But, I have to say, Irish food is just as bad as British food. Although the British do have one good culinary invention: Fish n' Chips.

Actually, I think Philly calls itself the birthplace of the nation -- I've never heard anything but Boston called the Cradle of the Revolution.

I have to disagree on cheesesteaks and fried fish, but New England clam chowder is the ONLY way to go. DOWN WITH TOMATOES!

I am part Irish. How can I put them down? Anyway enough Beer drinkin in Dublin will blur your vision enough to be able to tolerate the Irish food.

The problem with europeen, is that in order to get some american tourist they need to offer them local food so they dont get too desoriented. Eating at McDonald or any other american fast food chain will on vacation is just sad. If you dont want to try something new, just stay home and save the airplane ticket.

The second problem with europeen is that they are submerged by american pop culture witch slowly take over theire one.

The real problem in the first place is this spanish business trying to copy this cheese steak when they have so much more to offer.

I never said their alcoholic drinks are bad, and I'm sure that at least SOME Irish dishes are good. The problem is, the Irish really can't cook. Not even Irish-americans.

Agreed. :) I'd be eating tapas in Spain, weiner schnitzel and beer in Germany, pasta in Italy... a culinary tour. :)

Pardon? I like them -- what's the problem?

Well, if you like them, there should be no problem with me shoving one down your throat!

...Or is there?

Hey, I didn't read any posts in this b/c I was too lazy.

What's wrong with European people? They see war is not always the solution. Next question please?

You are oh so right. I dont cook worth crap. I own an Irish bar too. Although we dont serve Traditional Irish food. Only the beer. Makes it better that way.

Ooooh God... Clam Chowder r0xx0rz.

We used to have this resturant with a lighthouse theme right out on the sea, it even had this big lighthouse tower in it that little kids could climb and check out the view, and it made the best fresh clam chowder on God's green earth. Santa Barbara might remember it, he and I live in the same town.

Anyway, they turned it into a Rusty's Pizza. Glee. :(

Hmmm Sauerkraut... Bratwurst... Eisbein... Schnitzel... Bratkartoffeln... Sülze... Mjam Mjam Mjam :D :D :D

Take a bite out of a Jims Cheese Steak with extra cheese whiz mushrooms, fried onions, maybe some sweat peppers, and your so called "science" Will go down the drain!
Cheese whiz was not meant to be paired with steak. Get something with cheese in it please :p

To critize 456 Million people because of 1 man's cooking is a bit unfair wouldn't you say????

There is nothing what so ever wrong with Irish food!!

Also Irish food is some of the healthiest in the world. We've no incinerators or nuclear power plants polluting Ireland.

And to say than around 35 million people can't cook is a bit of an exaggeration don't you think?

I am part Irish. How can I put them down? Anyway enough Beer drinkin in Dublin will blur your vision enough to be able to tolerate the Irish food.
whats wrong with soda bread? nicest bread about (apart from Wheaten bread...also Irish). or champ? lovely

You should be asking, "what's wrong with me? I go to another country, and expect to eat food just like the greasy spoon down the block back home makes it! While I'm at it, why don't I go to China and complain about all the people speaking a 'foreign' language around me!"

This topic has some of the funniest comments I've read all day. Thanks. Just thought I'd say that.

And what do you expect from a spanish place that gives you things in bags that are supposedly american? That's like KFC in Germany. It's absolutely nasty here. Absolutely nasty, nothing like real KFC. For example. Then again, eat spanish food in america and you'll think you're chewing on some grade a buffalo dung. At least if they give it to you in bags.

European food is universally better than American crap. Which is why in Europe, you eat European. Not American.

Even if what you're saying weren't ridiculous, the funny bit of the story is that it was advertized as Philly Cheesesteak.. false advertizing aint cool in any country. What he described wasn't even close to a cheesesteak. :p

I remember ordering a "Europe" breakfast in Japan.

It was a bowl of oatmeal with a fried egg on top. And I thought, "gee, Europe has really changed".

I ordered the European breakfast in Turkey. It was three kinds of cheese, slices of tomato, honey, bread and sliced meat. My wife got the Turkish breakfast, it was three kinds of cheese, slices of tomato, honey, bread and sliced meat. we were a little surpirsed, just a little.

Don't blame the Japanese. How could they have known European oatmeal has fried egg AND mayonnaise in it.

Having experienced food on both sides of the atlantic, and despite being a Brit, proud of Fish and Chips, Yorkshire pudding and various others types of British food....I have to say....my favourite food is....American.... :eek:

Even living here in germany and having been to a fair few nations around europe....still can't beat a 14oz grilled steak with curly fries and salad drenched in dressing :D Only thing that I think europe does better is Italien pizza...but thats another thread ;) :D

As far as I'm aware there is only the English Breakfast, the continental one varies depending on where you are in Europe. I know when you go to Scotland they try and give you a Scotish breakfast, but that is basically a variation on an English one. A true Scotish Breakfats would be salty oats with if you are lucky a shot of the hard stuff.

what is with Bacon in the US? All fat and no meat!

We LIKES it that way.
But for the visitors who prefer more meat than fat, order "Canadian Bacon" with your breakfast.

That wasn't a continental breakfast!! And if you were to follow the logic of the original post on this forum; shouldn't we ask "What the hell is wrong with Japanese people"!!

I'm not being derogatory or sarcastic, but why do all the comments about good American food involve some combination of Steak, Cheese and Chips??

Yup. It's all about the nanotechnology.. microscopic robots are gonna clean out our arteries anyway, so eat your cheesesteak now before you feel all sheepish down the road when robots can reverse the cholesterol for a few dollars.. all those years of cheeseteak-potential will otherwise be wasted!

I find the thought of eating cheese in general quite appalling.

Ew.. what does that leave you with? Cheese is pretty universal.. maybe certain Hawaiian foods? Reminds me of something out of The Land Without Bread, only with dairy.

Actually, you know nothing about cooking in this case. There's PLENTY of stuff without cheese.

Sure, every culture has non-cheese dishes. But only a few don't use cheese at all. I guess asians use the least, although that's not totally out, I don't think, for any of them.

Doesn't mean I have to touch cheese.

I mean, just look at what you have to do in order to make cheese... What happens with the milk... ewwww... I don't even want to know how they found out that cheese can be eaten.

your feet smell, obviously the gentlemen was offended so he got rid of you as quickly and politely as possible. had you washed you would have gotten a real philly cheese steak. take a bath! yay :fluffle:

They make vegetable rennet nowadays. It works just as good as animal rennet. I dunno.. I make cheese, and it doesn't seem odd or unnatural. The process dates back to prehistory, when animal stomachs and intestines were used to carry milk and water. The rennet from the innards mixed with the milk, and over the course of a day, walking or on horseback carrying the milk sloshing around and churning, the heat and time combined to make a pasty cream-like cheese. Milkbeer was also the first alcoholic beverage on the Earth, it's believed. ;)

I was in Spain and the craziest thing happened, I was hungry and the nearest food place was selling "Authentic Philadelphia Cheese Steaks" So I go in and say bistec con queso. The guy who worked there spoke English and confirmed by saying "Philly cheese steak?" I say yes. In a few minutes I get something in a bag I pay for it and leave.

When I opened it I couldnt believe my eyes. For in front of me was a hamburger bun, a hamburger bun with what appeared to be cut up T-bone steak, but with no fat or bone or grissle. with melted SWISS cheese, lettuce and tomato, and to top it off, un-cooked onions.

Now tell me, what the hell is wrong with European people?

What the hell is wrong with YOU??? (More specifically, the American people.) Our Chinese food is not even CLOSE to what they make in China. Neither is our European food. When we try to emulate foreign culinary styles, we fail miserably. No one should ever try, because they will always fail.

It's typical, 1234554321, get over it. We're much worse, believe me.

There are advantages to knowing how to speak Chinese - if you're in the right restaurant, you can order items that aren't on the menu, and will be more traditional.

Bah, our versions of Chinese food are better anyway. There's just no comparison. Japanese and Korean, too. I've known friends to come back from asia and go straight for the take-out Chinese, no joke. Gotta have that sweet, sweet MSG.
