Muppets as british as fish n chips

**giggles** Consider this thread muffined.
I always though Fish and Chips were scottish, for some reason... Like, specifically scottish, not just british. Is it a Great Britain thing, or no? ** ponders**

P.S. Marky, referring to your avatar, was it the otter that was the french one? That otter always annoyed me as a child...

 

[Marky]

If the Otter annoyed you, than it is most likely that he is indeed french. Heard that the li'l poutine-scarfing bugger had his trailer 'separated' from the rest.

**giggles** Wooow.

The British are truly regarded worldwide as innovators of many things.
Cuisine is not one of them.

I've learned that half hour British shows last more than 30 minutes. Which is why the Muppet Show is now starting to show scenes that were only shown in the UK.

 

[Marky]

Well, It's not so much that UK shows are over 30 minutes so much that they require less minutes within that 1/2 hour time frame for commercial time.

The same went for Canadian television up until the early 80's (we're now on par w/ americans) so back then, we Canuks (and Americans who live near the border watching it on a Canadian channel) saw the 'UK' spots, too.

Hmm... America is a large area. North, Central and South America... that's dozens of countries there. Ever been to one of them?
Now I'm personaly from Canada, the most northerly of the 3 countries which consitute North America.

Now obviously your statement is referring to the Untited States of America of which the world refers to their citizens as 'Americans'. You would not be the first limey (cough) Brit who simply refers to the U.S.A. as America. And don't feel bad, there's even many an American who erronously referes to their own country as simply 'America'.

Now that that's out of the way...
Do you not have many McDonald's over there in any of the countries within the U.K.? I know there are. I've been there many times, not to mention many other countries in Europe. Being a travel, cultural and food enthusiast, I've sampled many great dishes from Copenhagen to the Middle East. When sharing tales with travelling collegues there's a shared opinion on the domestic dishes in England.

I welcome you, Kaiser Gonzo, to share some of your experiences you've had with food in North or South America. Particularily some tales from your trips to The United States of America.
