I live in the US now, but I was schooled in England for 8 years, lastly at age 14 (am now 25). However, after all these years, I still miss English Hot lunches. I didn't appreciate them enough at the time. I have been to Anglo-themed pubs; I love Fish and Chips, beer, shepards pie, bangers, pasties, scotch eggs, etc. But I miss English school lunches. I want some crabcakes. I want some god damn bonafide English custard on chocolate cake. I want REAL english sausages. And some wonderfully yummy cheesy mushroom quiche.

I am so hungry right now.

Anyhow, are you hungry right now? What food are you fantasizing about? Is there any old food that you can no longer get a hold of that you miss? Are you a fattie? Respond and discuss.

You want pasties? I give you pasties! (http://www.dobberspasties.com/v2/)

What food do I miss? Nutella crepes. If I weren't so damned lazy perhaps I'd figure out how to make them, but sloth conquers all!

Cornish pasties, but I can already get those at the pub.

OWWWW!

but why?
would you ask someone on the phone you've never seen before randomly if they were fat or not?

They're the same thing. Cornish miners immigrated to Michigan, and bestowed pasties upon us.

You do know that quiche isn´t an English dish? Anyhow. I am in the mood for some paprika chicken or Serbian bean soup. And no. I´m not a fatty. How about you?

would you ask someone on the phone you've never seen before randomly if they were fat or not?

Well I definitely wouldn't if I'd seen them before....
I was just being silly because I was going on about food, should I take it down?

I am quite fat.

Sausages aren't neccesarily English either, but the way they do them IS. Besides. I want quiche from my old school's lunch menu, so its not a debatable topic.

I miss Spekulatis and Gluhwein from Germany- HAvnt had them in years.

and yes MEntaly im a fat knaker
but physicly i turn sideways and vanish

and School foods awsome- I still get it seeing as im still at school-boarding school at that- so i get three cooked meals a day:p

I'm a Seattleite who took a professorate in Bismarck, North Dakota. I miss anything with SOME GODDAMNED SPICES IN IT!!!

Especially Thai food and Cajun food. Specifically, I miss:

Everett, WA
Spice of Thai
Tampico (great Mexican mole sauce)
Alligator Soul
Lombardi's
Scuttlebutt & Flying Pig & McMenamins brew-pubs

Seattle
Cutter's Bayhouse (home of the best martini EVER)
Wild Ginger
The Flying Fish
The New Orleans
Buca di Beppo
Pasta Freska
Dilettante (patisserie extraordinaire)
Broadway Wok & Grill
Porta (Greek...mmmmmmmm...)
Ivar's Captain's Table
Cedar's on Brooklyn (Middle Eastern/Indian)

Tacoma
From the Bayou (weeping with remembered mouthgasms)
Stanley & Seafort's

Greater Puget Sound
Taco Del Mar
Jamba Juice
Kidd Valley
Dick's Drive In

Not that Bismarck is without fine places to eat, namely:

Castillo's Roadhouse (in Huff)
Di Donna's
The Walrus
Bistro
East 40 (best steaks ever, and somehow, damn fine crab cakes)
Kathleen's

But a regular source of inexpensive and authentically spicy food is hard to find around here. Whereas wonderful Pad Thai can be had back home for under $7 -- if I want it here, I've got to shell out $17. Sigh.

Anyone else a cultural prisoner?

But are you fat? Huge? Enormouse? Gigantiouse?

OMG I am so hungry, I love deviled eggs.

But are you fat? Huge? Enormouse? Gigantiouse?

Meh, not so much fat as big boned. I look like I like food. And I do. I'm a 6' 240lbs stout male. I am 50% pure muscle and 50% cheese. I like cheese.

would you ask someone on the phone you've never seen before randomly if they were fat or not?

So you weren't taking offense because you were fat, right?

Go Michigan?

What exactly are those foods?

Uh...not yet, but I can tell you that "enormous" needs no ending E, and it's gigantic. Although, an "enormouse" sounds like something you'd fight in an off-kilter D&D campaign.

Spekulartis (realy bad spelling) are a really tasty christmas buiscuit in the shape of little windmills or elephants (dont ask me why-i dont know)

and Gluhwein is Warm Red Wine with spices and frui in it i dont know what it is in English though im told it may me mulled wine but i dont know.

and shall we say i eat 5 meals a day with snacks between and way under 14 stone and am 6' 6"

The best Mexican restaurant in the Bangor, Maine area is Taco Bell :( For a guy who grew up in South Texas, that's hard.

i am a fatty and english to boot, and right now i could go for some bangers & mash, or a good fried breakfast... its not fair, my gf is with family in scotland and says she's had 3 fried breakfasts today alone, while i haven't had even one in months :(

*cries*

WOOT!!! RIGHT ON!!! just what I was thinking! D&D, as well as Piers Anthony (esp. Xanth and Blue Adept series) ROCK!!!!!!

I love Gluhwein. When I was stationed in Germany I was introduced to it, but I haven't been able to find it in the States away from military bases.

I am hungry, and have visions of steak sandwiches dancing in my head. I think I should be fat, but my INSANE metabolism saves me. I eat 4-5 meals a day, mostly consisting of sugar, fat, bread, and red meat, but am only approximately 225 lbs (most of which is muscle), at 6'1'', and in the USA, that's pretty damn good!

I used to eat like that, but when I was sent to Germany by the Army I started eating better food, and less of it. Paradoxically I gained about 30lbs (not of fat). Right now I'm about 190 and 6'3"

Oh, shit -- you poor devil!

I've had some of the best food of my life in Texas. Barbecued brisket with a sauce that makes you weep. I spent the summer one year in Austin and couldn't get enough Tex-Mex. Even the chains down there were good, like Papasito's and Papadeaux. I feel for you. Hang in there.

"Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist."
"Inconceivable!"

"Joo keep using that word -- I don'a think it means what you think it means."

Classic.

So you weren't taking offense because you were fat, right?
No. There's just way to much testosterone on these forums.

Buca di Beppo
Kidd Valley

Word. I'm in Texas now (which is actually very good for certain cuisine like Tex-Mex and Cajun) and I miss those Seattle-area restaraunts. Shockingly though I just discovered a Taco Del Mar near my job so I can finally get some fish tacos, but I have yet to find an Italian place that can compete with Beppo's or a cheap burger joint with Kidd Valley. You also forgot Anthony's Home Port (Seattle, Edmonds and I think Everett), Gordito's of Greenwood, and you may not know of this one but Sunfish Fish & Chips on Alki. And of course the international district and its amazing Asian food.

I could really go for some fish tacos right now actually. And some Pyramid Hefeweizen. :D

So you need a sattelite if you want your picture taken?

No, I didn't eat your mom man, but I did eat your girlfriend.

Bazing!

No. There's just way to much testosterone on these forums.

*whew* Okay....well, that goes for most of the internet...although it's usually even worse....We've got like, 20-25% female here (and aparently half are canadian). That's rather impressive for a forum...

True, that's why this one's worth sticking around for. And we Canadian females are going to take over the world one day, you just watch.

But I miss English school lunches. I want some crabcakes. I want some god damn bonafide English custard on chocolate cake. I want REAL english sausages. And some wonderfully yummy cheesy mushroom quiche.

If you want good crabcakes, go to Maryland. And while your at it, buy some boardwalk fries and cover them with vinegar and Old Bay.

Not quite English, but good enough.

*hands out crabcakes*

*hands out crabcakes*

Teh wewts! ^_^

I miss Blue Crab, Tastykakes and King Syrup.

The only thing a school ever cooked that I miss is the HUGE delicious peanut butter cookies from jr. high. They were so good that I even went over there when I was about 25 (yeah I'm dating myself here) to try to get some.

Not only wouldn't the school sell to me, they looked at me as if I had to be some kind of a perv just using a desire for cookies as a cover story :(

I miss the chocolate pudding they served in high school. Huge dishes of it. To this day I love lumpy pudding with skin on it.

"Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist."

Yes they do, and some people here eat them.

No, not really there are lots of people who are over 25 who once went to Jr High.....

I think that there is a club where people get together and eat 'school dinners'
I am not sure what it is called, but I saw it on TV, and it has some pretty influencial members. It might be called 'The Pudding Club' .....

BUT


I might be on drugs...


Do an 'Ask Jeeves' and see if you can find it...I would, but I can't be arsed at the moment....
