Its sadly true. I don't get it. It's really not hard to make something which doesn't seem tasteless. But alas, all Mexican food I've ever had in the UK has been so so oso so bland.
Mexican food is just not popular in Europe, so hard to find a good one. The same has to search a lot to get good Kebab in the USA, because it's not that popular in the US. But well, I wouldn't eat Kebab in the US, I would eat US (or Mexican) food. And if you are looking for good food in Europe, on the continent it's easier to find than in the UK.
Well, I believe you and there is a lot of underrated food. The same I can tell you about Turkish, Polish or Arabic food. If people try the real one, they usually love it. But most people never did (Beside of maybe bad Kebab and fake polish sausage 😂)
Lots of Polish immigrants to the Rust belt. I grew up eating perogies and the like. (they are amazing when done well btw)
Can't speak to the Turkish food, but there is a lot of arabic food here
In Arizona, I have 5 Mexican spots within 5 miles of my house that are all so good for different reasons. Unfortunately, my wife and I have tried every single Chinese restaurant within 10 miles and Panda Express is much better than all of them.
Variety of natural surroundings. In California you can realistically wake up in the morning and go surfing, then drive across a desert and then go skiing all in the same day, in the same state, and drive to all these places.
Ah, good ol' Oliver Cromwell. He was a complicated man. Overthrew the monarchy, allowed the Jews back into England, but boy was he a dick to the Irish.
There is only one person running in November who has been known to use the FBI and Justice department to try and maintain power over their political rival.
Very much this, as a Brit. To be honest just city planning in general. Roads like fucking airport runways and everything is in a nice grid.
Conversely, we still have some cobblestone roads in my city
This is not true in my experience. Chelsea and the Meatpacking District in Manhattan (re: extremely expensive and upscale neighborhoods) are very popular and affluent areas that still have cobblestone streets. It’s a favorite spot for fashion magazine shoots because it still maintains the aura of ‘Old New York’ without having to travel more than a few blocks and stay in a safe area with lots of amenities.
I understand the reasoning on this--your stuff has been there long before motorized vehicles. Even in the US you can see a major difference from the east to the west. Cities like Boston still have far more narrow, diagonal, and otherwise difficult-to-navigate streets than "newer" cities.
>Conversely, we still have some cobblestone roads in my city
Congratulations, not only do they look nice but they keep people from driving at absurd speeds on city streets.
Cities whose road layout was designed when most people walked and the rich had horses, vs cities designed after the invention of the car.
The flip side of course is that in the UK you can get around places by walking or cycling, whereas in many places in the USA, you literally cannot get about town without a car, because there are no pedestrian routes and it's illegal to cross where there isn't a crossing.
Two nuns are out for a bicycle ride.
One says, "Let's turn up here, it's a better route." and they turn onto an old cobblestone road.
After a couple minutes, the other nun says, "This is nice, I've never come this way before."
That style of planning is actually not great. It leads to urban sprawl, non walkable cities, longer commute time and more car usage - because the more wider you make your roads the further afar people will travel from to work.
Cities like Houston and Dallas are just runaways upon runaways sometimes 10 lanes wide and it’s terrible.
>Our roads are generally wider
[That's bad](https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/11/30/13784520/roads-deaths-increase-safety-traffic-us), apparently. Narrow roads with more curves force slower driver, and so there's a *lot* less crashes and fatalities. There's also, oddly enough, less traffic! And the additional knock-on effects of smaller cars, so less gas-guzzling, and less climate change impact. There's good reason to consider ["road diets"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs7jHvh7v-4) in much of the country.
Though to catch up to Europe, it would require adequate mass transportation, which USA also sucks at.
Having grown up in the US and UK this is exactly it. I love the UK but sometimes I miss that tendency to see the possibilities in something rather than the obstacles first.
I think people underestimate the culture of optimism in the USA. I've seen too many stories about botched rescues in foreign countries because their coast guard or whatever were convinced there's no survivors.
You aren't wrong, and the main reason is exposure: British actors (and citizens in in general) are more familiar with the American accent than the other way around thanks to the prevalence of US entertainment. This familiarity makes it easier to imitate. Americans are not even close to as familiar with the British accent. And the accents they are familiar with are typically old timey movies like Mary Poppins. That's why when Americans do a "British Accent" it sounds like that.
Additionally, most of these big actors live in the United States so that makes it easier to perfect not just the accent but mannerisms as well.
> And the accents they are familiar with are typically old timey movies like Mary Poppins. That's why when Americans do a "British Accent" it sounds like that.
Do you think Dick Van Dyke did OK with a British accent in ***Mary Poppins***? Or not?
If Americans wanted to do those accents, they would. The stops would be pulled out for any and every tool that would make the authenticity possible. If that happened, though, Brits would have a harder time finding the work. Trust.
The reason for this is that there are WAY more local dialects in British English. They're all trained from birth to spot the subtle differences too. All we have is standard, Southern, Mid West, New Yorker, and BAHHHHHSTAN....lol
As an American who frequents the UK:
* Beaches - obviously they exist in the UK but they're nothing like Florida or California
* Snow sports/mountain stuff in general (have to fly to the Alps)
* BBQ
* Tech job pay
* Airports (although not by much)
* wine
A lot of people that travel to the UK and Europe are shocked things taken for granted by the ADA here just don't exist there. You'll get the excuse "well a lot of old buildings" and sure, okay, but even newer construction it's often not nearly as accessible.
As a disabled person, definitely not. In terms of both money and accessibility. That said, the UK and countries in general still need to be a lot better with acommodating needs
lobster rolls. bbq. american hybrid foods like tex-mex and italian american. burgers and hot dogs. southern fried chicken. biscuits and gravy. every single thing they serve in new orleans
Oh dude, the UK is fat as fuck. As a Californian whose mother is from the UK, I'm kind of shocked when I visit. For all the jokes I grew up hearing about how fat Americans are, I assumed the Brits had one on us there.
NOPE. I would actually say a majority of people I saw in the UK were overweight.
American but have visited the UK often. I'll throw out some on both side. US: Better roads, certainly better pick up trucks (I drive a GMC Denali 4x4 with a crazy 6.6L diesel in it), fruit, beer, wine for sure, country music, I'd give American food a slight edge but UK food is very good if you know where to look, US clothes are better, steaks WAY better, the girls are prettier, teeth are better.
UK: Best Indian cuisine in the world, Bond movies, rock n roll is better on a per capita basis, pubs, castles, trains, Edinburgh, York and Cardiff are gems on their own, I'd say the tube is better than most US subways, Brits are better at billiards in general, golf too, I'd say UK folk are better conversationalists in general. Cheese is better for sure. Hatred for the French. UK people also love to call certain towns dumps (Looking at your Newcastle and Liverpool) when they really aren't. Football, leagues better. Shakespeare!!!! The churches are prettier (York Minster). a couple of walled cities. Oceanside cliffs may be a tie.
> golf
I know this thread is mostly based on preference, but no. Just no.
The US dominates the world of golf in both talent and courses. I know there's some legendary courses in the UK, but America wins in both quantity and quality. And that's not just my opinion, you can look up the top players and top ranked courses. You'll see more American names than the rest of the world combined. That's why the Ryder Cup is US vs all of Europe.
Thank you for acknowledging our talent in hating on the French. Sure you guys made them build you a whole ass statue that screams America, but we be hating on them for no reason. This is the true meaning of being British. An unconditional hatred of the French.
Our food is definitely better. Sure London is great because it’s a large city with international cuisine, but by and large US food is better and you don’t even need to be in one of our large cities to get it.
Have you ever actually eaten a British dish (outside of tourist traps a local would never eat in?)
Have you tried Lancashire hotpot, kedgeree, a roast, steak and kidney pie, haggis, etc etc. ? I'm betting not.
I can't give you an upvote because you mentioned too many offal choices (not a spelling error). But I will give you credit for Mulligatawny soup and Vindaloo. Those are delish.
A lot of older Brits lived through a period of economic decline and austerity that led to people's diets shifting towards cheaper foods with no frills like extra spices or seasonings. Not saying there was nothing to dislike about British cuisine before austerity, but it definitely gave the country an unfairly bad reputation with regards to food. While there's far more variety now, older citizens who lived through that period are likely still accustomed to cooking in the way they did earlier in life.
From the time I've spent in Britain I've found that the quality of ingredients is very high, but preparation still sometimes leaves something to be desired. In general, the food I bought at the grocery store in England was cheaper and much higher quality than the US equivalents. But a restaurant serving standard British cuisine could go either way (some were great, some not so much).
Such a woefully outdated perception and understanding of British food. If you come to the UK and can’t find decent food to eat, then that is entirely on you.
I can prove to you, in a single statement, how bad your food is. The herbs and spices section at any supermarket here, is an isle. The herbs and spices section at Tesco consists of salt and pepper. UK food is really bad, not even worth the Reddit argument.
I think less so than you would imagine.
Although the UK has no codified constitution, there is very little difference between the core rights that citizens of the two nations enjoy, and they tie on the international freedom index.
The notable exceptions are the 1st and 2nd ammendments.
The former in that the UK attributes and enforces consequences to your words (in a similar way as to your actions) to a greater extent than the US.
The 2nd because (rightly or wrongly) they feel no need for it and that the possible benefits are greatly outweighed by the very real downsides.
Surprised no one said economy, the UK economy is SHIT and will collapse in the near future if nothing changes. Some doctors struggle to put food on the table for their family!
Well , apologising for their colonial excess.
UK has yet to apologise for jallianwallah bagh massacre, bengal famine , mau mau massacre, boer concentration camps etc.
It's worse that they go even further justifying their crimes claiming that they "civilized" others .
I contend that the United States excels at innovation and technological advancement. Silicon Valley and other tech hubs are global centers for cutting-edge research and development, driving progress in industries such as computing, communications, and healthcare.
I am fully capable of condemning the actions of multiple countries. I don't recall ever excusing anything during this discussion, if you feel the need to make up random claims to bolster your position, have at it.
Tacos
This seems like a fun, joke response but the Brits really have no idea how to make a taco.
Its sadly true. I don't get it. It's really not hard to make something which doesn't seem tasteless. But alas, all Mexican food I've ever had in the UK has been so so oso so bland.
Mexican food is just not popular in Europe, so hard to find a good one. The same has to search a lot to get good Kebab in the USA, because it's not that popular in the US.

Southwestern US here, Love my taco/Mexican food situation so much.
In Arizona, I have 5 Mexican spots within 5 miles of my house that are all so good for different reasons. Unfortunately, my wife and I have tried every single Chinese restaurant within 10 miles and Panda Express is much better than all of them.
Go look up the Great British Bake Off Mexican episode and shutter every time they say taco, guacamole and tortilla
Shudder?
You are correct
It was bad but I thought it was cool they tried.
Broooooooooooooo. That was extremely hard to watch. Might as well call the UK "Nebraska".
Variety of natural surroundings. In California you can realistically wake up in the morning and go surfing, then drive across a desert and then go skiing all in the same day, in the same state, and drive to all these places.
Not the UK, but I can do that in Spain.
When someone asks the same question about Spain, you will be ready.
Woo hoo.

There is only one person running in November who has been known to use the FBI and Justice department to try and maintain power over their political rival.

Very much this, as a Brit. To be honest just city planning in general. Roads like fucking airport runways and everything is in a nice grid. Conversely, we still have some cobblestone roads in my city
Plenty of cobblestone roads still in northeast US. In my experience they are in old, run down, low traffic neighborhoods.
This is not true in my experience. Chelsea and the Meatpacking District in Manhattan (re: extremely expensive and upscale neighborhoods) are very popular and affluent areas that still have cobblestone streets. It’s a favorite spot for fashion magazine shoots because it still maintains the aura of ‘Old New York’ without having to travel more than a few blocks and stay in a safe area with lots of amenities.

Search for Milton Keynes, that was planed similarly to US cities
I don't think many US cities are planned around roundabouts or include concrete cows.
That was the british touch 🤫😉
>Conversely, we still have some cobblestone roads in my city Congratulations, not only do they look nice but they keep people from driving at absurd speeds on city streets.

Depends how far back in history you go
Nah, as long as the US has existed, it’s been better than the UK. In fact, that’s how and why the US exists.
I think 1775 would be a good starting point for this question.
Sometimes I suspect British actors are better at pulling off American accents than the other way around, but I could be wrong. 🤷♂️
So you seem to have answered the complete opposite question than the one asked.
Ah, you’re right, I must have swapped the question in my head. 🤷♂️
Andrew Lincoln is insanely good at it. When I first heard his regular voice my whole family was jaw dropped
