Scotland is better than England because:

10. We're closer to North Sea Oil, and really it belongs to us.
9. We have Edinburgh, which is to London what a rare steak with potatoes and brocolli is to a donor kebab.
8. As well as having our own government, we run yours.
7. As well as voting for things that affect only us, we vote for things than affect only you.
6. You subsidise us.
5. We're hated less than you internationally.
4. We had our own enlightenment.
3. Trainspotting > Human Traffic
2. The Union happened when a Scottish King took up the English throne.
1. There's less of us per square kilometre, so more space to move around.

Now, Ten Reasons why France is better than all those countries put together:

10) Our first lady is Carla Bruni
9) 2 Euros and 1 World Cup
8) We were against the Iraq War from the start
7) Camembert
6) Johnny Halliday
5) When push comes to shove, we're quite accomodating.
4) Hmm, this is harder than I thought.
3) At least we're not Belgium
2) Or Germany
1) Oh, who am I kidding...

I figured the congealed cheese and fats inside the golden brown disc of death would've ursurped the throne from the Deep Fried Mars Bar. Guess not. There's always the deep fried twinky, I guess.

They're both pretty awesome, if by "awesome" you actually mean "completely revolting". The mars bar swings it for me since I can't fanthom how anyone came up with that. And I smoke a lot of pot, so I usually empathise with ridiculously stupid suggestions. "Hey guys, you know what would be delicious around this Mars bar? Tons of fried oil!"

Never tried it, but Nix might have.

French food is the best cuisine in the world. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a monster.

Ahem.

I love French cuisine, and food is my main reason for visiting Italy. I learned to cook in Spain & Portugal, so have huge respect for their cullinary goodies.

Unless I was limited to cheap restaurant chains, or paying £250 for a sitting, the best food I find anywhere in Europe is British (Not just England - Scotland has some world-class restaurants too).

We have more michelin-starred chefs per square mile than anywhere in the world. Within 25 miles of here, there are several restaurants where chefs travel from allover the world to learn from our master-chefs.

Sure, in the 60's our food was cack, and we all flooded over to Frogland to learn cordon-bleu from the Roux brothers and their peers. For the last 10 years it's been the other way round.

But deep-fried pizza is full of win.

I'd also like to say i have NEVER boiled meat unless it was in a stew and even then if done properly it retains taste while being tender.

And dammit Nobby i made the effort to make a cricket thread and you didn't even post in it!!! Smiley: motz

Ham Hocks? jugged Mutton?

And unless you've tasted Beef Silverside slow poached for a day with Juniper Berries, Bayleaves and winter vegetables, you've never tasted heaven.

And don't forget, the French call us "Les Rosbif" (roast beef) because all French Chefs used to be sent to England to learn how to roast meat properly.

I ate boiled meat growing up. It's not bad in a boiled dinner.

I just had Cambodian food in Lowell, MA, the city with the third largest Cambodian population in the world. Damnit, that was delicious. The things they do with Lemongrass.... I love Lemongrass. And the fish. Jesus.

Fresh fillets of any white fish, skewererd on lemon-grass, then pan-fried.

Smiley: drool2
