Why do British people underestimate the taste of a cheeseburger ???

[superheavyrhun]

This is like that thread from back in the day when that USA fella thought we didn't get the same movies over here.

Well, just look at what we've had in the cinema over the last few years in Wales:

The Jones Identity, The Jones Ultimatum, The Jones Legacy, The Jones Supremacy
The Lord of the Valley trilogy
The Life of Dai
Police Academy 14 - Mission to Mumbles
Tin Man 3
2 Knives (like 2 Guns, but because of our restrictive gun laws we're forced to stab the bad guys.)
The Lone Ranger - The violent and ultimately tragic tale of a QPR fan who gets seperated from the rest of the QPR fans as they beat a calculated retreat to the train station after their first visit to Cardiff City in the Premiership. Splott is not only the place he dies, but also the noise his face makes as it gets kicked in.

yeah as stated mcdonalds and burger king are really popular here... Wendys aint made it over this side of the pond but when i was over there I tried a Wendys burger and found it greasy as fuck... Popeyes on the other hand was great thou and beat the shit out of KFC

[brocktonblockbust]

all true there, we got a CCTV of Saddo after he kicked major ass on a Vegas slot machine, he wandered off into the maze of Amerikkin fast food heaven and availed himself of several Popeye's biscuits, fried chicken, and awesome side dishes like collard greens cajun style, chili beans, and macaroni and cheese.

Mcdonalds burgers don't even taste like meat, burger king is ok but you can tell that shits been sitting there for hours, wendys is the best for actually tasting like real meat and fresh...a good burger at a sit down restraunt is only second to steak for me and its rare for me to not order one of those two when out and about. I was in florida a while back and my friend and I went to this local sea food restraunt, I ordered the steak...

We're a crazy country

No sex
No (universal) dentists
No McDonalds and Burger Kings (everywhere)

...at least according to people who have never been here.

We don't have Wendy's, we have AMPLE McDonalds and Burger Kings, but even if we didn't - those places don't fucking serve food anyway.

You call that plastic shit they sell a burger?!

Nobody ever questioned if there was a burger king or mcdonalds in the UK, and just because somebody goes to Mcdonalds does not mean they order a cheeseburger, there are other items on the menu, I would imagine the fish fillet would be the most popular thing over there, my point is that the sameway the Brits look at fish the Yanks look at beef, the sameway the Yanks look at fish the Brits look at beef.

It is a silly argument to suggest that Brits don't know a decent cheeseburger. Burgers are everywhere in the UK. Personally, I hate cheese and I also hate fish, so clearly there are going to be plenty of exceptions when one tries to stereotype. As a disillusioned Englishman, I think the food culture is the only thing beyond criticism. In terms of choice and taste, the English have the best of all worlds. However, that is as far as my praise will go for that place as choice and taste are diminishing returns in all other avenues.

[Spicoli]

I'm wondering how many Brits and the like would walk into a Stateside "Long John Silvers" and classify its fish & chips as quality

Screw Micky D's...what you guys need over there is a Whataburger!! We're going to get you as fat and gnarly as us!!! Just you wait..IT'S ON WANKAS

I used to love fast foods when I lived alone but my girl doesn't allow it anymore. All organic now..

I still do grub on that greasy shit when Im out with the boys though.. How can anybody not enjoy Taco Bell once in a while? That new smothered Burrito is the shit. What about McDonald's Fillet Fish burger? c'mon .. And that Triple Baconator at Wendy's and Western Burger at Carl's Jr, forget about it.. U gotta have it sometimes..

Only fast food I can eat with my girl is In-In-Out.. I always get the 3x3 with raw onion + Grilled onion, and animal style fries.. This is some California shit all the way..

I feel bad for you Brits... Have ya tried In-In-Out?? it's like pussy with buns. It's the cleanest fast food out there..

I love In-N-Out...Have you been to the original on Baldwin Park Blvd? I'm so old that I remember Instant Burger- exact same as In-N-Out, the result of a family split after the founder died. I think Instant Burger is gone now. Rockin' neighborhood there, too, around Baldwin Park Blvd, at least back in the day. Couldn't be weak- especially if you were white- and be around there.
Now, I know a bit about cheeseburgers. Farmer Boy, out in Chino, Ontario, and Hemet has GREAT cheeseburgers. Here in Montana, Matt's, here in Butte, can't be beat. WhattaBurger, that's in AZ and, I think, in El Paso, are good, too. Especially if you like chiles on your burger. Sonic isn't bad either.

What are you basing this assumption on? Because it's way off.

[Dark Lord Al]

I don't think the burger chains from the USA are really that popular in the UK


Mcdonalds
Burger King
Wendys

They simply have no interest in mankinds greatest invention, all it is is bread, cheese, and beef which is a simple recipe, yet you act like you're eating octupus.

Ever asked yourself why they are called Hamburgers ?
Because they originate from Hamburg Germany , not USA.

My grandmother is from Liverpool, my grandfather was from Puerto Rico, he was in the army in WW2, he ended up meeting my grandmother and they got married, her family disowned her and she moved to Chicago, maybe about 5-6 years ago that side of the family reached out to us, they visit us once a year now.


They love all kind of stuff that I wouldn't eat, blood herring/ blood sausage etc, I had one of my cousins eat some baked beans along with some scrambled eggs which was ddisgusting, anyway they tell me that a burger over in the UK is no way as big as it is in the states, they are typical fish people.

I apologize, that was way to much info.

There are 1200 Mcdonalds in the UK.
In one 3 month period it receives approx 350 million visits. Equal to every single person visiting 5 times in that time. I can't find the figures but I'm guessing either the Big Mac or Double Cheeseburger is the most popular item. People generally don't think Mcdonalds and think 'Fish'.

[Fenster]

Fish burger the most popular
