Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (Ep. 6): 'The Finale'

So the terminally useless Serious Eats, which now seems to be staffed wholly by ex Ivy Leaguers, who just like to talk food, can only really find fault with Jamie because of his jeep's carbon footprint.

Useless. As soon as I can unsubscribe I will.

How New York Gets the English Breakfast Wrong

WHAT !!!

Chips with a fry up and toast under the egg???? That's not an English breakfast.

Core of the English breakfast is:
Bacon
Eggs (fried or poached)
Sausage

With various the following add-ons (varying by region)
Toast and/or a fried slice
Fried mushrooms
Black pudding
Baked beans
Tomatoes (canned or fresh)
Kidney

Some English people like ketchup on their breakfast, uncouth. Brown sauce is best, not the ever popular and overly vinegar flavoured 'HP', but 'Daddies'.

Serious Beer: Brown Ales from England and Beyond

Newcastle Brown (Newcie Brown or puckie brown as I call it) is pretty mainstream and it's disappointing so many travellers to the UK stick to drinking it or Guinness. It's a bit like being in the US and ignoring the microbrewery scene and sticking to Coors Lite.

So well done for trying Hobgoblin and the other lesser known pints.

You don't eat organs? So that's liver, kidneys and other offal off the menu. Wow, that's a huge slice of gastronomy for a "foodie" to ignore.

Serious Sandwiches: The Chip Butty

STOP. Please I beg of you.

I was born in Rochdale, a small town in Northern Lancashire, England. Chip butties were a normal part of my life growing up. I now travel throughout the US, UK and Europe as if they were one...city?

I feel slightly, no very, very, annoyed that chip butties have been discovered. Why is it that the food of my home could seem so odd?
