My doctor would have a fit if I had it….but I dearly love the S.O.S!!! LOL
Ate a lot of that when my kids were growing up and money was scarce.

Yep, you are right…we do have the most wonderful array of great food here in the US.

Ethnic food can be great…but you can keep the oriental…I first check to make sure all the neighborhood cats are accounted for (just kidding!!!)

I spent my childhood outside Baltimore…the steamed crabs/shrimp are to die for!!!

Add me to the list also. I thought this was real for the first few paragraphs too. How scary is that?

Well, I said on this site in Oct / Nov last year that tax receipts could fall up to 50% because of the OSoros market manipulations and crash. I made that statement knowing capital gains taxes would be close to zero, that highly paid people would be laid off and have bonuses cut in droves, and that wealthy people with tax lawyers would be hiding income.

The results are in.

It’s a 36% drop.

Good thing I put in the “up to”.

On the other hand, I don’t think we’ve seen the full extent of the damage yet. Everybody is going to get really intent now on giving themselves a tax stimulus, and the war on small busineses has just begun.

jobeth, in all my travels while in the military, no matter where I went, the locals of the area would proclaim that their cuisine was the best and everyone else could only dream of having such delicacies to eat. What I like about American food is it’s wide range of flavors based upon where you live. Such as beef fajitas, roast pork with pumpkin, smoked Alaska salmon, roast duck with cranberries, Mississippi Mud Pie, etc. and on a cold day you can’t beat good old military chow hall favorite like S.O.S.

Humor is at its’ absolute best when there’s an element of truth in it.

This article has me rethinking THAT theory!

You are so bad Steve! :- D

Married to a Brit…but while I can find plenty to love about him…he can keep his food. I can’t think of anything more boring than Brit food. And he thinks our food is too sweet, has too much cheese, and too much fat.

Having said that, he likes nothing more that what he calls a “fry up”….chock full of grease! BTW…spotted dick is wonderful even though it is Brit food as well as fish and chips… ummmm!. I think its the cold water Cod fish that makes it so great. Try as I might I can’t seem to find cod that tastes like theirs over here.

I hope this article was satire. Because for those of us who served we remember all to vividly our trips to the commissary. Such as the surcharge, the baggers who give you a mean look because you didn’t tip them enough, angry retiree’s who scream at you because you took the parking space they were waiting on. And of course the wive’s of high ranking officers and enlisted, cutting into the line and having no shame for it because they were so and so’s wife and didn’t have time to wait like the rest of us. But as the rest of these posts, man. Ya’ll sure know how to make a person hungry with such detailed descriptions of the food. I had a buddy who was once stationed in England. When he came back he told me how much he missed the pubs, and the food with such colorful terms as bangers and mash, beans on toast, and spotted dick.

This reminds me a little of that old movie “THX-1138″ where society in the future is obsessed about economics but everyone wears identical clothes and the things they “buy” are colored geometric shapes that serve no purpose. I truly look forward to (satire mode on) my future soy based Obamaburger with a side of Obamafries that are baked, not fried.

To each his own, Wirenut. But may I recommend Tetley’s Ale brewed in Yorkshire by Carlsberg? Tetley’s can’t be beat with fish ‘n’ chips (or with anything else for that matter), but Tetley’s is difficult to find in the USA. In the alternative, you can’t go wrong with Bass Ale or John Smith’s bitter as traditional favorites. As noted in the news article at the start of this thread, the Nerobama Administration has concluded that “we have far too many brands of beer,” and I suspect that in due course the only choice available in America will be government-issue Dr. Tom’s Processed Soy Brew. Cheers.

Petro, thanks for all the info. Now I’m really hungry. Any idea on what to wash all that potato cuisine down with??
Something from Germany maybe?
