DD: A little clarifycation here.

By kettle chips, do you mean potato chips or french fries?

And do you eat the whole "indian" at once? If so, how many beers does it take to wash that down?

That would be Potatoe chips...

But you got the Indian right. ;D

It's funny, when ever I have been to the USA I never find Indian food popular.

I suppose its our take on your love of mexican food.??

Here in Los Angeles, (East) Indian food is very popular, and so is Persian.

But we do take our Mexican food very seriously. Anything involving chili is never about a "hint". If it doesn't make your nose bleed, you didn't get it right.

As for lime, we save that for our Tequila.

Mmmm.  sounds good!  Sure beats mush and bangers.

Here in New Mexico we pretty much live on chile:  breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Even the Italian restaurants offer green chile in their lasagna.

And Joraft, can't resist, New Mexico chiles don't make your nose bleed. :

Sometimes the Sandias or Lumbres do. Depending on how you prepare them.    In my opinion, New Mexico grows the best chiles in the world.

The best (dare I say hottest?) women too! My wife is from Las Cruces, she's a mixture of Mexican and Apache (Mescalero).

It's pretty tough to beat a ruby after a night on the lash. A good thai comes close though.

Going out for an English

 

[dirtydeeds]

thats the comedy series that brought "chuddies" into the oxford english dictionary

made "innit" into a single word as a full stop (period) and it is deliberatly incorrect gramatically

"innit" is still used in this "original" way

it also gets used as an afirmative agreement to your mate when he brings your attention to a dolly

these words are spoken english only, they wouldnt get into formal letters

 

[dirtydeeds]

for exactness kettle chips is a specific make of crisps

as lagonaboo says crisps are potato chips (to you lot)

Pie and Mash from the "Noted Eel and Pie House"  On the Leytonstone Road in London.

English food at it's finest!

 

[dirtydeeds]

fries are anemic thin bits of a single species of potato cut to a perfect cross sectional area (and exactly same on every continent)

these are then put near some hot oil and sold by maccy dees

chips (as in fish and chips) are thicker, rougher cut, shorter and of varying types of potato through the seasons (up north) particularly in yorkshire they still fry chips in beef dripping

 

[dirtydeeds]

cabinet you forgot to say....  we pour liquor over the pie and mash innit

i hope you are all confused  ;D  ;D

Dont start me on Jellied eels.

I was born in Whitchapel, London's East End and the one thing I hate is Jellied Eels, almost as much as stewed Eels. I do like pie an' mash with liquer but you try eating that next to someone eating stewed eels - turns my stomach........

Oh to the Mericans, Pie n mash and Eels are served in a single shop, mostly in East London, kind of a fast food served on marble tables in the best ones.

Oh how it takes me back..............

When I used to work at Canary Wharf as a architect our standing gig was the pie and mash shop for lunch and then the nearest pub after work. I totally agree with lagunaboo on eels......whaaarf.

 

[dirtydeeds]

ive had pie and mash once and ive also had jellied eels once

both one after the other............ well i was hungry

leytonstone isnt far from my most frequented toolshop, toucan tools in leyton (curiously they sell festool gear)

so next time im up ill go to leytonstone as well for pie and mash

 

[dirtydeeds]

limey food i dont eat

tripe and onions............... 

 

[dirtydeeds]

limey food i adore, roast beef and yorkshire pud followed by spotted dick with custard

then i had yorkshire pud in yorkshire, served by a yorkshire lady WOW what a difference, superb

served yorkshire style.... huge (it covers a dinner plate) with gallons of gravy as a starter

all time favourite english food...............  boiled ham, carrots, new potatos, peas and parsley sauce

 

[joraft]

all time favourite english food...

Sorry guys, you've not mentioned a single English dish that that sounds appealing to me. 

John

 

[dirtydeeds]

how about

manglewurzels, deep fried pizzas, deep fried mars bars (the last 2 are scottish)

kebabs with extra chilli sauce and jallepeneos, from a late night stall (especially good after a night on the lash)

chinese is also good after a dozen beers

a "tivvy dinner"  thats a local "delicacy" in tiverton in devon,  chips (fries) with onion gravy  ALWAYS eaten after being on the lash  (tiverton unusually for devon was an industrial town with two breweries at one time) (most north americans would see the tiverton as a village, not a town)

black pudding ( a sausage made with blood and cubes of solid fat ) fried north of surrey (a posh southern county) and eaten for breakfast along with fried bread (slice of bread fried in oil) and baked beans

what about THE english national dish "curry", its no joke it is THE national english dish

and whats wrong with fish and chips  or a fish supper 

thankfully we cant get that great american delicacy............. miracle whip    ;D
