Snobbish as I may be, hamburgers are awesome.

Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
They actually found advertations for hamburgers in Roman excavations no kidding.
Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
Yes, the Romans were the first to have "Fast Food" in the modern concept. Doormouse was a specialty.
As for the "Hamburger and Fries", it was a reference to Mc Donalds and its kin.
Good quality burgers, using Aberdeen Angus, and nice roasted chips, with good quality salad and bakers bread buns... now they are nice. Especially if you know how to cook them right yourself, which brings the cost down to Mc Donalds level, but at a significantly greater quality.

Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
That's why I brought Germany up. It ranks 6th in the world in military spending with 1.3% of its GDP devoted to it and could easily be third if it bumped GDP up to the 2.4% French and British levels. And the 1994 ruling stretched the definition of 'defense' almost as far as the US has.I'm starting to wonder what kind of threads we'd get if Germany started to pump 5% of it's GDP into the military, build carriers, threaten Israeli forces in Palestine with bombardment if they do not withdraw within two days etc. Oh and build our own nukes of course.
Just like the good old days of the Kaiser, it worked really well for us in the end.

Surely if that was the case you wouldnt have to use a French word to describe it.You guys just don't get it. America is like the borg. Hamburgers may have started out German, but now they're American. Fries may have started out in Belgium, but now they're American. Cuisine may have started out as a French word, but now it's American. Nobody can compete with us when it comes to assimilating. Hence the obesity.

Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
In matter of fact TexMex food from SouthEast US together with Cajun cooking from South are the parts i enjoy best from the American Cuisine.

Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
America is way to big to have a real national cuisine but it's packed with local awesome, awesome food from or based upon all over the world, hell yeah they have it.
Finish food is awesome by the way
Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
Yep i agree about the Yanks and thanks Fragony! Finnish food and Nordic food in general is quite simple without any fanciness about it. Some love it, others dont.

Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
There wasn't a hint of anything to be considered truly "local" in Montana, which is one of the best perks about living in a bigger (Port City). Nothing says American like a steaming hot bowl of Pho on a rainy autumn day. *Sarcasm*
Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
Montana beef has a good reputation here, we call it fake-kobe(japanese beef). It's only sold in Rotterdam as far as I know, most Argentian restaurants serve it because of trading embargo's.
Re: Why can't Europe defend itself?
The irony wasn't lost on me that despite Montana being a major cattle/beef exporter, some of the worst steaks I have ever had in my life were from local restaurants, there was honestly only one place I'd consider going to when I lived there, and it was always WAAAY cheaper to just do it yourself. The disadvantage of course is that Butchers outside of major Cattle Producing Areas give you cuts that are pathetically thin in comparison and charge you more for it.

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Anyroad, back OT....
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

I don't eat any meat, including duck meat. Does that make me a duck dhimmi, seeing how I've already surrendered to our new overlords?
