Personally, I find it an adventure in trying out new food experiences in most places. Why even bother leaving the country?    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 1:23 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) When traveling abroad, The British won't eat local foods and instead, will resort to cooking and eating as if they'd never left home. www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2740516 Personally, I just don't get this.

What did we do to deserve it? Did we visit your restaurant and bring our own sandwiches??! Brits being unadvanturous on holidays is a bit 1960s and talking louder and slower to the spanish waiter!    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 1:37 PM     By:   Mike_J   (Member) Speaking personally, this is a load of tosh. I've travelled a fair bit in the last 20 years and have always make a point of trying local cuisine and delicacies. Sure, if I went to some outback place I probably couldn't stomach eating bugs or eyeball soup or chilled monkey brains or whatever, but as a general principle I have no issue with trying local food and in fact will try to avoid getting British stuff unless I'm just on a beach holiday somewhere and can't be bothered to look around.    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 3:17 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) When traveling abroad, The British won't eat local foods and instead, will resort to cooking and eating as if they'd never left home. www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2740516 Personally, I just don't get this. Personally, I find it an adventure in trying out new food experiences in most places. Why even bother leaving the country? Undoubtedly there's some truth in this. I haven't read the article but wouldn't be shocked if it featured kids going to Greece with their friends and living on fish and chips and that other British staple, the pizza, in eateries done up as London pubs. Like my good friend Mike, I make a point of exploring a country's cuisine - without being TOO adventurous! For a balanced view, you should also try getting served in McDonalds on Oxford Street surrounded by packs of Americans tourists...    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 3:37 PM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member) For a balanced view, you should also try getting served in McDonalds on Oxford Street surrounded by packs of Americans tourists... As Kenny Everett once said "It's all done in the best possible taste." http://londoniscool.com/how-to-spot-an-american-tourist-in-london    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 4:39 PM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) The article says 'one in ten', not everyone. And of course it must be true because ....(top hat and cane please).... "God didn't make those little green apples, And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime... And folk who write for the Daily Mail Always tell it like is And they're just sublime." I think this is part of the Dave-duo pink code. Y'know: 'Always get your 'daily male' etc.. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 4:49 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) I knew it had to be another of Dave in B and Montana dave Gay threads again!! Theyre so sneaky.    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 5:03 PM     By:   Mr Greg   (Member) Speaking personally, this is a load of tosh. Couldn't agree more...the local delicacies are an essential part of travelling (for me), and I'm not happy unless I have tried it (and, occasionally, gone through the whole menu)....otherwise I would not have been introduced to such delights as Swordfish, Shark steak, Bacon/Caramel Desert (which wasn't....wasn't...nice), a proper f***off all-American burger, Schnitzel, a decent paella, and various others that it has been my pleasure (apart from that friggin's desert....what were they thinking??) to munch through. Trying the local cuisine is as essential for me as booking the plane tickets.    Posted:   Sep 10, 2014 - 5:45 PM     By:   Timmer   (Member) Keep up your unwavering interest in us Dave, it is most entertaining.    Posted:   Sep 11, 2014 - 12:43 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Yeah, you sure you arent Brit-curious??!!    Posted:   Sep 11, 2014 - 2:13 AM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) I met a British woman like that abroad earlier this year. She wouldn't eat anywhere except the British-owned fish and chip shops. She didn't want to eat any of the local food as she regarded it as too strange and foreign. It was Belgium.    Posted:   Sep 11, 2014 - 4:04 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Personally I don't see what's wrong with packing my cupboard in my suitcase AND those idiot waiters and servers ALWAYS understand me after I've shouted a bit louder and made my English words sound a bit Spanish or Greek.     Non-Film Score Discussion: The British won't eat 'local foods' on Holidays    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
