I don't eat any fast food places, I stay away from Taco Bell, Taco Time, KFC, McDonalds, Wendy's, Arby's, and all the others places because of the grease and high fat content. I usually eat at Subways and selected restaurants if I want to go out and enjoy food. The only two places that I go for Pizza - Is Papa Johns and Papa Murphy's. I hate all the rest. I don't get Pizza that often and I usually go once a month for my Pizza Cravings. I just can't eat much cheese any more.The entire state of Wisconsin weeps... My body can't process it and I only have cheese once or twice a month. The only cheese that I can process is Macaroni and Cheese. I just can't explain why my body can't process it - but my Medical Doctor advises me to limit the amount of cheese that I eat on a monthly basis. I'm allergic to something that it's can't be explained honestly but - I was told by him to limit eating 3-4 slices of pizza for Dinner and having said that I'm sorry that I can't eat cheese that often that I can. It's frustrating that been the story of my life and I'm the only one in my family that can't eat cheese like the rest of them. I can't even eat Chesseburgers too. That's all I have to say. |

Lactose intolerance? Or maybe allergic to rennet?

... Pizza--my favorite topic! Just wondering if you (or anyone in this convo) ever had something called Toaster Pizzas (like it sounds--little filled pies with sauce/cheese/pizza ingredients that you just popped into the toaster)? I don't think they're made anymore but I remember them fondly to this day. Seriously delish.  Sounds like a clazone (sp?) to me. I recently bought some Digarnio's (sp?) pepperoni pizza sticks that came with garlic butter and marinara sauce. They were quite good, and I think actually cheaper than their pizzas, but just as much food. Weird. It may have been a sale though. Yes, right, good description, they were like a calzone--the shell was stuffed with cheese and sauce (or chemical facsimiles of such). And now that I think about it, about the size and shape of an English muffin and about as thick(deep), to fit into most toasters'slots. My parents just put 'em in the toaster and voila!--a fast fun meal that we kids loved. At least a few times a week. Well, I guess it beat slaving over a hot stove.  |

with the UK booth, the only thing appetizing-looking was a tea sandwich (cucumber with cheddar). These are best eaten at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, with a cup of tea, while you survey your estate and shout at the servants. Fish and chips aren't bad either.  Man, proper British fish shop "fish & chips" taste amazing. I mean, totally unhealthy, but incredible to taste. Since I have eaten at Pizza Huts in several different countries, I feel I should comment. Honestly, I didn't notice a whole lot of difference between the Pizza Huts in the U.S. and in Wales. ... If that's the best pizza available in some countries, I feel pretty bad for those poor souls. Just to clarify, I consider Pizzza Hut to be the best pizza restaurant in the UK, but I'm sure that many of my fellow countrymen would disagree. Of course, they're all idiots. Myself, I'm not such a fan of proper, thin crust Italian pizza...although I do eat it. It's just not my favourite type of pizza. I like the deep pan ones, and the sauce and toppings that Pizza Hut use taste great. Plus, I love their salad bar too. Lactose intolerance? Or maybe allergic to rennet? The cheese that Pizza Hut in the UK use in their Vegetarian pizzas is rennet free and therefore vegetarian. Not sure if they use non-vegetarian cheese in their non-vegetarian pizzas. I kinda doubt it because the vast majority of the cheese available in this country nowadays is rennet free and so vegetarian. This is a big change to how things were, say, 20 years ago, when you really had to search out vegetarian cheese. |

As much as I love English muffins here in the states for my breakfast sandwiches (Americans are going to kill themselves with those buttermilk biscuits)I wonder how close they are to the real thing. You know, muffins, I guess is what you call them since you are English. Like Brazil nuts are just nuts in Brazil. What are proper "chips"? Here in the states these "English" pubs just serve you some fish breaded and fried with "waffle fries" and call it fish and chips. Silly Americans. :-) |

All we do is yell until someone pays us some mind. |

Far and away the best non-gourmet pizza I've had is BJ's. They have a vast menu of Italian and their pizzas are incredible.

I'm like BJ's pizookie, but that's about it. Everything else on their menu is standard American diner fare.

I have a friend who's a psychiatrist. I can give you his number if you would like. Does he help those who feel the same about Taco Bell? The Franchise Wars shall vindicate them. |

As much as I love English muffins here in the states for my breakfast sandwiches (Americans are going to kill themselves with those buttermilk biscuits)I wonder how close they are to the real thing. You know, muffins, I guess is what you call them since you are English. Looking on Wikipedia, it seems as if what you get there and call Englsih Muffins are pretty much identical to what we have here (and yes, we just call them muffins). However, at some point in the early '90s or late '80s, your American muffins started to go on sale over here and they're just called muffins too, which is confusing sometimes. When I say an American muffin, I mean something like this...  Talking of toasted teatime favourites, have you ever tried crumpets? I'm not sure how easy they'd be to get over there in America, but here, they are very popular as a teatime snack. You traditionally have them toasted, with butter spread on them, and because they have little "pores" in their top surface, the butter sinks down into the crumpet and as a result they taste yummy. They're regarded as a very comforting food over here and, personally, I like them with butter and Marmite on. Also, just so you know, the word "crumpet" is British slang for an attractive woman or group of women. You still occasionally hear the word used like that today, but it was a much more popular slang expression in the 1950s and 1960s. Here are some crumpets...  ...and here's some crumpet (know the difference).  What are proper "chips"? Here in the states these "English" pubs just serve you some fish breaded and fried with "waffle fries" and call it fish and chips. Silly Americans. :-) No, no, no...in a proper British chip shop the fish (and it's usually cod) is deep fried in batter, not breadcrumbs, and the chips are fatter than American fries and they are also deep fried. As if that wasn't unhealthy enough, you should really have the chips (and probably the fish too) sprinkled in copious amounts of salt and vinegar. There are slight regional variations as well, such as in the north of England they tend to have gravy on their chips, whereas down south, where I live, such a thing is unheard of. Likewise, in Scotland you can get a deep fried Mars bar to go with your chips too!  |

I've gotten used to not putting salt on everything and anything, as we grew up doing, but I still can't go without vinegar on my chips.
We grew up calling them "chips" as well, in Nfld at least, but increasingly the American "fries" has taken over, to the point where I often get a confused look if I ask for chips now, especially from younger people.
The most famous Canadian variation is of course poutine, from Quebec - chips with cheese curds, and in my experience usually gravy, as well. But in Nfld a popular thing is "chips, dressing, and gravy" - the dressing is the same dressing you eat with a cooked chicken or turkey dinner, breadcrumbs and spices or something - I'm not much of a cook so I don't really know what goes into it. Stuffing, they call it some places, I believe.
