Ha, you jest. Terrible. I have actually been to the US, and eaten in your restaurants. The food was okay, but not particulary great. (Is it that hard to cook veal well? ) .

How does American food magically become better than British? Your just harping on about old stereotypes, having probably never eaten a proper meal over here.

Whats a traditional American meal. (And I don't mean something boring like steak and potatoes.)

The Brits do some things quite well. Fish and chips are excellent. So is Shepherds pie!

American meals I can think of off the top of my head:

Pot roast, chicken fried steak (excellent), barbecued ribs, chili, pizza, lasagna (yes, this was invented by Americans, order it in Italy and they'll be insulted), and chop suey.

I had C-rats once back in the early 80's. The can was stamped with a date saying 1944!!! It really sucked bad, MRE's are a BIG improvement. K-rations used to come with cigarettes, chocolate bars and toilette paper in them.

food at the Messhall is generally nice (when the cooks know what they're doing) but still , everytime i could , i remember how i used to eat as much as possible outside when i was off duty

after 2 months of military food , a good ol' homemade dish is a fantastic moral booster

No, I dislike your MREs, which I would not call food

Once the messhall is operating the US food is one of the better. You have excellent logistics and usually a large variety of food is brought in.

the problem with these meals is that with a plate full of each , you've got enough food to feed the whole ethiopian population for 2 weeks

the problem with american food is fat , greases and cholesterol

There is no denying that, but it is still very good.

We actually have a hodge-podge of foods due to our mix of many cultures.

Some excellent examples to come from this mixing are:

Creole food: This is an outstanding combination of French, Spanish, West African and Carribean foods with a little local Louisiana flavoring thrown in. I've become quite the gourmet cook learning these recipes after having been stationed there. My favorites: Seafood gumbo, jambalaya, fried catfish, chicken etouffe and red beans and rice.

Tex-mex food: A combination of Texan and Mexican food that is as spicy and delicious as hell! I'm sure Tex will attest to that.

Americans dont have Smarties. A confection vastly superior to M&M's. I have a couple of friends in Oregon that have me back a half a dozen boxes with me when I go to visit them, they love them so much

Uh, wrong. Pizza was invented in America, so was lasagna and . . . chop suey. These dishes weren't served in the nations of origin of their ethnic inventors originally, they were invented by Italian Americans, and chop suey was invented I believe in New York City by a white restraunt owner. Order a pizza or some lasagna in Milan sometime and you'll see what I mean. I should know, my grandmother and grandfather are Sicilian!

is from the Seychelles. The Seychelles have a long history of colonialization on their back and the result is the creole kitchen. Your list is not that correct.

I stayed at the Auberge Club seven years ago. Creoles are the inhabitants of the seychelles.

Christ! You all know too much about food!

Sometimes i make do with a cup of tea for breakfast, 2 pieces of toast for lunch, and a bag of good ol Doritos with dip in front of Stargate for dinner!

I for some reason really quite like Stargate now, it's so refreshing from doing anything which involves your brain.
