      That's probably because you've never had a cup of 'good' coffee. I used to feel the same way. :-) Now - 'Nectar of the Gods.

        Do you two want a room? Of course, I mean so you can both smell the coffee, taste the nectar.....and Frank can hold his extra large fork.

        Although some would consider it a sacrilege, this is why Mother Nature created cream and sugar. Some folks consider coffee a dessert.

        I was in the Army. I rarely do black coffee, even when it's the best coffee on the planet.

    I'm hooked on strong, sweet mint tea - similar to that served in cafes in the middle east. And on 'Constant Comment' blend. And on Earl Grey tea with a spot of amaretto. To each his/her own.

              Some of the differences to US foods, and believe me, I noticed all this big time whe I came over in 2003 (my wife agrees with me having sampled both cuisines (and she's American))

              US foods contain far more sugar and salt than european foods do. It makes a huge difference to the taste, what you call flavour is just chucking in what people crave.

              US cuisine tends to be blander and far less subtle than the european selection. This is what I noticed and was able to compare.

              This applies to all types of food from savoury to sweet candy.

              Just like anyone else though, I enjoy many unique US dishes and candies. I just know the difference between US and european tastes.

              Just for the xmas break, we treated ourselves. Spent $155.00 in our local (overpriced) British Store for a selection including, british sausages, pies, pasties, sausage rolls and candies (sweets) etc.

              Heavenly nostalgia.

              One thing that actually is so much better is the british candy (sweets)

                Personally, I don't eat any sweets and my diet is predominantly Mediterranean, being Italian and Greek in it's content. Outside of authentic Southern cooking, of which I rarely indulge, I eschew (see what I did, there?) what most would call the standard American diet.

                  You could ask what would you call the standard British diet. These days so much foreign cuisine have infiltrated both the US and the UK so it's getting a bit blurred.

                  I suppose the US, traditional (perhaps excluding New Orleans and a few other variations) Would be good burger places, steak restaurants, barbecue ones and a good example would be the traditional basic fare served up in many roadside restaurants. Cracker Barrel is a prime example of this here. It serves up no nonsense, well prepared, what I would call traditional and basic american fare. I actually go there often. good stuff at great prices, nothing spiced up or exotic though.

                  The British stuff to be puerile, I would have to go back to the 60's and remember what my mother served up, we were largely free of foreign dishes in those days, Steak and kidney pies and stews, the classic Sunday dinner. All good stuff. The only sugar and salt used would be what you put on it yourself. (except for puddings)

                  I was well disappointed with both the Indian, Thai and Chinese fare that is served up over here, perhaps a lot more competition in the UK so it's that much better. It's like they said, well, what do the Americans know, we can palm them off with anything, they won't know the difference, they will think it's great. Well they would know if they travelled abroad now and again.

                    There are two times in my life that I had a near orgasmic culinary experience. The fist time was eating chicken wings in a bar in Pittsburgh PA....and I was introduced to Chinese hot sauce.

                    The second time was in New Orleans...the first time I tasted real Gumbo. I tried a few different varieties, and decided that New Orleans was the center of the universe.

                    And I had the extra bonus of listening to New Orleans natives talking......everyone sounded like I was in an episode of Dukes Of Hazard.

                      When I was younger I lived in NOLA for a short time. I had a friend that was a native and he took me to a little kitchen away from the tourists for some red beans and rice. It was great and only cost $2-3 (?) and came with all the freshly baked French bread you could eat.

                      And...all the native NOLAs would stop everything and watch Dukes of Hazard, which I found funny. They would also call me a "Yankee" even though I was from Colorado. They can hold a grudge for a long time.

                European food also has flavor which English food doesn't. Saying English food is flavorful because European food is, is like Claude hanging around a bunch of body builders at the gym and claiming how in-shape they are.

                Ham...boil it.
                Beef...boil it.
                Potatoes...boil them.

          Never confuse talent with someone taking pity on you.

    Smells good here - pork loin in the crockpot, rubbed with spices, covered with lime slices with beer as the liquid and some pepperoncini.

    The photo above and all this food talk - combined with the smells coming from the kitchen - did me in. Had to grab a snack!

    Saving one dog will not change the world - but forever changes the world of one dog.
    If at the end of the day you smell like a horse...then it was a good day.

    And I had the extra bonus of listening to New Orleans natives talking......everyone sounded like I was in an episode of Dukes Of Hazard.

    Or The Dukes Of Hazard. Mandela effect.
    Y,all!

    And l do remember in the not too distant past someone posting here and elsewhere, high fat breakfast images.

    And we were all thinking that hospital or worse was the outcome, (eventhough we were too nice to spell it out).

      If I'm going to die of something, please let it be from eating too many servings of scrapple and eggs with a side of insulin. At least I'll die with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my tummy. There are worse things to die from and I have no problem with that as I knew how to live to enjoy life to the fullest.

      Check out those 'nooks and crannies' filled with butter. Lol

        I really hope that your coffee cup is depicting the sun and not the sun that looks like chips surrounding a chocolate chip cookie.

          I haven't had a chocolate chip cookie in over 50 years. The only kind of cookies I do are Pignolis during the holiday season. I will never understand the fascination with sweets. They simply hold no allure for me.

          Now, a baked potato on the other hand . . . . . . . .

            I would talk to Claude about that point, after all he wrote, Sweets For the Sweet 101".

            He also wrote "Sweets, Sweetie" but that was during his Claudette/male/female/anything moving bondage episode.

              The other thing that I don't do, besides sweets, is anything nonsensical.
