A restaurant in San Francisco just got rated Michelin three stars. It has 10 tables, the wait is months and the dinner price for one is $350, not including wine.
San Francisco now has seven Michelin rated restaurants, compared to New York's six and Chicago's three. I haven't been to one of them.
Nonsense to the aggressiveness, I've seen more aggression on the my little pony message board......I mean I was told.

There has been a quiet revolution in food in the UK since the turn of the century and that is articulated by the sheer number of excellent restaurants here, not only in London but throughout the country.

Over 30% of my adopted hometown's residents are Indian or Pakistani now. You can't throw a rock without hitting some kind of Indian or Pakistani restaurant. Last night, my son and I ate at Favorite Indian Restaurant after dropping off one his friends at water polo practice.

I wasn't very hungry, but my son was. I just had a vegetable samosa, some chicken soup and a chopped celery and onion salad. Best chicken soup I've ever had.
There are over 50 Indian restaurants in my town. Fremont, where I live, now has the second-highest Indian population in California after San Jose, surpassing Los Angeles.

Toby wrote:I'm not denying we have shit food. However I'd say that EU standards of food and regulation mean that we have less shit than you do. There are exceptions of course, but there is some shocking industrialised meat production in the USA that simply doesn't exist in the UK.
I think the UK punches above its weight in comparison to the USA considering we have a sixth of your population and something like a twentieth of your landmass.

Wow, that's what I thought. I thought it was just me.
They started using powdered milk during the war as that was all that was available and this gave it a sour milk flavor that is close to vomit and is exactly like baby vomit, post war it was decided not to switch back as it was cheaper and people had got used to the unique taste of their vomit chocolate.
It isn't just you it is everybody brought up on chocolate made of whole milk who has their first bar of Hershey "chocolate".
