Liver is also a very poor choice for a dinner.
That's becuase there is almost no one on this Earth who actually likes it.

And, on the obesity issue, I agree that America does have a problem with that. I'm glad that I can still eat all that stuff I mention bacuase of two factors: my metabolism takes care of most of it, and also I exercise every day, so I'm good. But obesity is being called the new cigarette, like how most people died last decade becuase they smoked, now they're dying 'cuase their fat.

Italians didn't invent pizza. The Chinese did.

I like liver, k thanks. And garlic. AND Chicago.

Good ol' American food! (that picture might be... disturbing to some people, I guess.)

You're the only person I know of besides me who knows that. I think Marco Polo brought the recipe back to Italy after he traveled to Asia.

That's just... strange. Although I suppose it's not as bad as finding a finger in your chili...
What, you expect me to say something witty?

darkphantomime

The whole 'finger-in-chili' thing was fake. She actually planted it there.

And where's your proof for the chinese pizza?

Twilight Wolf

All I know was that a man on TV who owned a pizza shop was talking about how pizza came from China.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

American food has no taste, it's all the same to me, but I still do like it ocasionally.
Whenever I go to Canterbury with my friends I get mad because they all want to go to Mc Donalds and I want to go to Wagamama.
Italian pizza is WAY nicer than American pizza, especially if you actually get it from Italy, I've never had Chinese pizza though...

I agree. I don't like McDonald's much at all. I'd like to try Japanese food. Like sushi (without fish cuz I hate fish), Sukiyaki, and even Takoyaki (even if it's made from octopus)

Zoratunic

I've never really been a fan of fast food, especially after I watched Supersize Me.

Also, today I tried some chinese food. I have never liked it until now, and I must admit it is quite good.

alical

I just love how this turned from a heated debate on politics to a nice chat about fast food, so cute, I'm not complaining.

I only like Chinese food from Restaurants or Supermarkets, take-out chinese is usually disgusting.
Japanese is my favourite though, I don't like fish so I cant eat sashimi but i love Sushi and Teriyaki. And Noodles and Ramen.

I watched Supersize Me, that poor guy. I dont see how he could stomache it all for that long.

you know sushi is raw fish right? all else there is in it is seaweed and rice

and if you want some good japanese food, try some calamari, it is awesome

i am going to have to mention that we are starting to drift away from the topic though



alical

Wrong!!

Sorry but Sushi is basically anything with Sushi rice (There are restrictions though). I <3 pork and pickled plum sushi.

Sashimi is raw fish/raw fish sushi.

It is one of the many Japanese food myths.

Really people, unless you're going to compare it to American food, it's off topic.

Rev Rabies

i stand corrected...

i enjoy seafood, exspecially the popcorn shrimp platter at red lobster, expensive but tasty



darkphantomime

You know that Chinese food you find in restaraunts? that's not true chinese food, rather it's a hybrid that comes from the creativity of Chinese americans in making chinese cuisine with a few more common american substitutes. But for the most part, it's pretty much authentic chinese... to a degree.

Um, yeah. I know what sushi is...But I get sick from eating fish. There is sushi that replaces the fish with meat.

Anyway back ontopic.
