ICE CREAM

Ooh, bananas in cornflakes, fucking a.

My girlfreind does it. I am always envious. Do I deserve it? I always just use sugar. Hey guys, ever have OJ in your cheerios!? It ssucks!

Dried fruit is so fucking cheap that it seems a crime not to sprinkle a few raisins over your bran flakes. Though I like Special K with the Diet Marshmellows in the shape of supermodels..

Bananas don't count as fruit for the purposes of breakfast cereal eating.

What always bugged me, was when they'd show in the adverts... "Part of this nutricionally complete breakfast" where the whole breakfast - including toast, fruit, milk, orange juice - would have been nutricionally complete *without* the Sugarbombz.

I eat, on average, 4 bowls of Golden Crisp a day in the summer, with raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. I also drink sap from the bucket and a couple weeks ago I helped someone make ice cream. If this makes me a farmer, so be it.

And I grew up on Oatios in orange juice. I love it.

Coffee ice cream: sinning twice.

...and Toufutti is not the same as ice cream. It never will be. Figgered I'd just throw that out there.

And Oatscream sucks, aside from its freakish ability to never melt.

Bananas are actually an herb. Odd.

*still laughing* Best goddamn thread of the week, I think.

To put it plainly -- the UK *FAILS MISERABLY* at these key factors to ensure culinary survival:

1) Good Mexican food. Scratch that, even *mediocre* Mexican food.

2) Fast food -- as has been said, you've been colonized by The Shit and not The Good. Such are the natures of multinationals, I realize.

I will allow for the fact that we don't have as many Indian places out here as we should. This however will hopefully be changing (and happily we've got a good slew around where I live, so there is further hope).

And Kate, I have pose and preen about B&J, for I am a Mere Male and measure myself accordingly against societal standards. Now if you excuse me, I have to go down to Hooters in my red Ferrari dick car and shout loudly about tits while pounding down Coors Light. That is what people do there, right?

Culinary Survival? Is that gonna be a new reality TV show starring Jamie Oliver, Lovely Nigella and Anthony Worrall Thompson on a desert island with only a jar of capers and some evaporated milk?

Getting patriotically irritated by US 'our junk is better than your junk' nonsense. This is patently a fact that does not need to be debated since about 75% of Seppos are obese (though we are catching up, even without Taco Bell or Dairy Queen or whatever).

Bread is where the US fails miserably. Last time I was in the America I couldn't find a single loaf of bread that did not contain sugar. Bread + sugar = BUN, not bread! My French friend, living there at the time, actually took to making her own bread in order to have a proper loaf on the table.

I agree that most bread here is a disaster. Specialty shops are useful things, though, so there's hope.

I don't know what you people are talking about, I always have wicked good bread. Then again, I don't generally buy loaves at the supermarket...or really have any food in my house in general at all, so really I'm talking about restaurant bread or bread I make myself when I get a random urge.

Otis is a big time fucking hippie.

England has curry though . I have a hard time findinig a good hearty curry thats also inexpensive. A friend came back from Lonfon and siad there was one on every corner. Could we do a trade. So mexican and chinese takeaway places for some Curry ones.
About Coffee Ice Cream great with iced coffee in milk cartons

Well your bread is fucking crusty.

Seppos. Actually, 40% of us are obese, weighing in at 80% of the total weight of the populace.

Food has improved here in great big leaps, though. When I moved here the only place that did The Dazs was Harrods Food Hall and I had to buy Ocean Spray from Fortnums to introduce London to the concept of the Sea Breeze. Now, lots of good food (no Mex, but how many of them want to move here?) and as birthdays and family-visit bonus, ALL the poncey restaurants are around my flat.

My sister is down ("down"=newcastle) from glasgow (=city of KULTUR). She comments that she has never seen so many hideously fat people for a long time (she refers to "heifers") Up here in cold north east of england we have many, many v-cheap good quality indian & chinese takeaways & restaurants. Ther may be a connection there. My favourite ice cream is ben & jerry's chocolate fudge brownie. I don't put stuff on it. In fact, it doesn't always make it into a dish.

I can't stand curry, the smell of it gives me heart burn.

As far as Southern California goes, everything here is a chain. I go into a nice-lookng, family-owned Greek or Turkish place, everyone there looks the part, speaks the language -- cool right. I flip over the menu and see a list of other "California locations" and "Herb from Texas" walks out of the kitchen with the chef's hat on. Please........

Peppermint ice cream is the best there is. And I like it unadorned. Well, maybe with jimmies (chocolate sprinkles).

Sounds like somebody in London could cull some $ with a good cheap burrito joint. Anybody want to open a business? I'll cook, you can provide the downpayment and liquor license.

There is SO good Mexican food in London. You just have to look for it very carefully. It's in Covent Garden, and it's called... Cafe Pacifica or something like that. However, you do have to watch out for their very good and very tasty and very deadly jugs of Margaritas. Oh, the times that I have ended up completely slaughtered by them.

Oh, and their food is good, too. Though you do have to ask them to bring out hot sauces and things.

Taco Bell, however, would be a great addition to the flora and fauna of London's fast food...

There used to be a taco bell in london. It was near...er (provincial memory blank) er....that place where the big tower records is, and the lit up hoardings (::blank::) you know where I mean, anyway...

xoxo

There was a Taco Bell in Leicester Square about ten years ago where the Pizza Hut is now (sandwiched between Burger King and Chiquito's piss poor Mexican). It did appalling business because back then no- one understood how to eat out of soft tortillas. These days even BK does Deli Wraps... Nasty.

Yep, that place in Covent Garden is pretty good. Emma passed out in the toilets there once. That's how good it is.

I've passed out in those toilets, too! yay, Emma!

Taco Bell may still be in the Earl's Court Road, I'm not sure.

I did not actually pass out properly. I merely came over a little unnecessary, as my mum would say. And it was not through alcohol either. Nor was the time I passed out in that Greek restaurant and bashed my chin on the table scarring myself for life. I have a worrying tendency to pass out for no reason. Haven't done it for a while actually, I'm about due for a fainting fit.....

Could you be anaemic, Emma? That's one of the more alarming symptoms. Do you also bruise easily? If you get to the point in anaemia where you get dizzy and faint a lot, be careful, cause they'll drag you off to hospital and change your blood.

Nah, I am very robust and hearty. I just have very low blood pressure which, as my mum keeps reminding me, is useful when you are pregnant.

I once fainted at college during a belly dancing class. I banged my head very hard on the floor and all the other girls crowded round and assumed that I was anorexic (well, a curvy anorexic). I had such a bad headache I could not do my essay that week and explained to my tutor. He thought I said 'ballet dancing' and was quite impressed but when I explained that it was belly dancing he was a bit flummoxed.

Are you vegetarian?

I have these spells of cognitive dissonce . Where i cannot move and do not know where i am . So i feel your pain Emma.

Green tea and red bean ice cream are the only flavors I will eat.

Miretti's daily secial today was casatta. It was the best ever. I'm going to miss miretti's so much.

I hate Japanese Ice cream, and fo r that matt er most of their sweets. Why the beans! Beans are for salty dishes!

Like Taiwanese cakey sweetie things. It's like: Here, have a cake. Oh, thanks, don't mind if I do. WHAT THE FUCK? There's a hard boiled egg in here! What's that all about!

I agree. All these special kinds of IC that are made of things that are not sweet. But i do love chinese buns .

I heard CHinese weiners are small

WHY THE ICECREAM PUT THE STABILISER THAT CAN BE FORMING THE TEXTURE , AND THE VANILLA FLAVOUR IS IT COMING FROM PINE TREE SKIN , PLEASE ANSWER THEM . THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION ! WINSTON LEUNG

"What is your favorite kind."

The kind that pokes out the top of low-cut Baby Phat tee shirts in the summertime, of course.

"Do you put stuff on it ?"

In this order: my fingertips, lips, paperclips, gatorgrips, Biore strips (I cannot abide leaving a young lady's nipple prone to comedogenic attack apres-freaknasty. I am a man of substance and finesse.)

Dan, I told you to cut back on your speed intake.

I hate Japanese Ice cream, and fo r that matt er most of their sweets.
Wah? I love Pocky. I love doorayaki. I even love those powdered red bean buns they serve with macha tea. Some have been known to choke on'em. I also like macha ice (green tea ice). What about red bean soup? Yummy.

GINGER [sp]ice cream

strawberry flavou any kind of ice cream as long as it's strawberry organic strawberry ice-cream is nice too. I prefer my ice cream without anything on it but if i do have something it would have to be strawberry syrup.

banana split is yummy!

A few nights ago I found an old container of ice cream in the freezer, it was left over from when I this boyfriend and this one time that we bought some ice cream. It was one of those ice cream containers that has two varieties of ice cream in it, this one was half Vanilla and half Goody Goody Gum Drops. But when I found it there was only Vanilla left. Vanilla was my half of the ice cream purchase. So I ate it.

when I this boyfriend = when I had this boyfriend

rainy- eating ice cream can be tough, no?

I have been eating ice cream everyday, just before I go to bed...

yeah.

I like strawberry best but it is surprisingly hard to find, at least at a reasonable price, so I generally buy vanilla which is very cheap indeed.

I just read that Sainsbury's six top selling ice creams are all Vanilla?!?!?!?!? what fresh madness is that?

I am a new convert to Phish food, dodgy hippy connotations aside, it is princely.

Chris! Hello! I add to From Russia With Buzz, also Cherry Garcia and Baileys Hagen Daz and an ice cream I bought from a small shop by Lincoln Cathedrall which actually tasted like apple pie, not just apples. I'm not sure jow it works, but it tastes love
