look I don't have enough wifi to look up electoral results and french people won't talk to me, but some of the meals I've had in alpine refuges this week have been the best meals I may have ever had

I am also so wine-drunk and so exhausted from being the fastest hiker I have encountered on the TMB. These may influence my opinions

Any country's food is good if prepared correctly

I have yet to find German food that fits my tastes, but I guess I'll give it another shot. Gotta say Thai, Indian, and Mexican are probably my favorites. And sushi. I could eat only sushi for the rest of my life and be happy with it.

Some nice bread, beer, sausages, mustard, sourkraut, and asparagus would be a very nice lunch.

Ah yes, I have had some good German mustards! I forgot about that.

You're probably too sober in that case

A fair point.

Skyr and Plokkfiskur are both good. It doesn't have many move redeemable dishes though.

we can't expect much from a people that didn't figure out how to put their parliament indoors until the 1940s

England?

Fish and chips and meat pies can be pretty good. I'm also a fan of Earl Grey and scones.

I really like well prepared cabbage. They absolutely get bland after a couple of days, but even just with salt, if it's fresh it's good.

Death to Terf Island of course.

Cornish pasties, fish and chips (especially in goth paradise Whitby), various stews, shepherds/cottage pie, pork pies, and rarebit all immediately come to mind. Then there's your desserts - apple pie, bakewell tart, rhubarb and gooseberry fools, victoria sponge cake, loads of stuff that tastes great if made properly.

Only problem is most british can't cook.
