Always happens. I LOVE Thai food too. Thank you and sorry, that is what happens when you start threads totally wasted at 4 in the morning.

BTW, my FAVORITE food group?

What does pan-seared Wagyu beef washed down with Champagne Laurent-Perrier count as?

Seriously, though, when I am not being a food snob, I like hamburgers, steak, grilled and deep-fried things.

That info is about as current as thinking Brits still wear bowler hats and say things like 'what-ho old chap'. My wife, a Californian foodie from San Francisco loves British food. She was under the impression it was bland and bad too until she went to London. Times change and thankfully, so did the food.

I'm still a big fan of the 'greasy spoon' type of transport cafe and other such health threatening fare, but the so-called 'good stuff' is there if you want it.

Having lived in the US for 10 years, I have to say most American food is none too impressive. Most places seem to think if you cover everything in salt, pepper and a few spices or some form of dressing, that makes it good food.

Places like SF and Seattle have some great restaurants, but much of the country is more like Spokane... more eateries per square yard than a dog has hairs and almost none worth eating in. Let's put it this way, when Outback steakhouse and Tony Roma ribs are considered the best restaurants in town, something is seriously wrong.

I have a weak spot for high quality French food. For every day, Italian is always a favourite, and for the traditional midsummer, Christmas or Easter holidays, Scandinavian (Smörgåsbord) is what I desire.
