Say what you will about Americans, but we are easy guests to entertain. We eat bad food all the time, so whatever you make will probably taste great.

Oh wait - you're from the UK? Forget what I said ;) Generally we don't like boiled steak, meat that is less than 100% meat, haggis, boiled tomatoes (boiled anything, really), blood pudding, overcooked eggs, or too much salt.

I've traveled a lot of places in the world, and Britain was the only place with worse food than the U.S.

I have never had boiled steak, not sure what you are on about with the meat thing, very rarely boil anything. (But i do happen to like haggis and black pudding - rare i get them though!!) Without a doubt, the uS has to be the blandest, least healthy place i have ever been!!

Tell you what, next time you are over i'll cook for ya. Bet you can't eat it all.....
Never try to eat more than you can lift

When were you in the UK, and where were you?

I lived in London for four years from '99-'03 and the food there was generally excellent, as long as you avoided the tourist traps around Leicester Square. Outside London, all bets are off. I've had some wonderful and some woeful meals. And motorway rest stops serve uniformly disgusting fare.

Well, you just haven't been to the right places. Where in the States were you? We in Colorado are some of the leanest, healthiest Americans. It's true. It was in USA Today.;)
