I went to a Gregg's during a family roadtrip to Stonehenge when I visited the UK. The chicken tikka sandwich was AMAZING... I savored every bite, and wished beyond hell we had it in the US. Half-considered taking some back on the plane.

It's not actually that bad. The only thing bad about it is that u have to mix it every time u want a sip of it. Other than that, it's pretty decent.
@CavemanSynthesizer Ай бұрын
coffee goes well with fat generally. The olive oil flavor is a bit off putting at first, but it's not that strong and it's not offensively bad so you kind of acclimate to it. It's not my preference though.

I'll never understand why takeaway bacon is so bad in Britain. Bacon is something we tend to do really well, with plenty of locally sources of great quality bacon, and it's popularity in things like a full English or bacon butty, and yet when it comes to almost all takeaways, especially the American ones that open up in Britain, the bacon is just abysmal. Not sure if the issue is they try to do American style bacon rather than embracing British bacon and have to leave out all the flavouring and texture additives, or if they've decided that the kind of person who gets bacon on a takeaway meal doesn't give a shit about what they're eating, but I can't imagine anyone think's it's actually good, and god knows who's paying extra for it on their meals.
@MagikGimp Ай бұрын
Burger King's used to be pretty impressive (to me at least) but that was a while ago so perhaps they had to stop using it? Or cheaped out.
@08mlascelles Ай бұрын
Agreed! It's so odd. I prefer British back bacon to streaky/american style bacon, and it's so easy to buy good bacon here, yet whenever I get a takeaway with bacon, it's that floppy, paper thin, flavourless rubbish.Very odd.
@danielhillier7417 Ай бұрын
Yeah its odd, I get some excellent thick bits of back bacon from my local butchers. All takeaway bacon is awful. Also the ratio is always bad, One slice of what I use was probably equivalent to 4 of what was in the sorry excuse of a roll.

Somebody thought it was really foggy in London so that became a stereotype a long time ago. I think it's more often foggy in San Francisco actually. London Fog was a brand of outerwear/trenchcoats in the US. Originated in the US. There was also a small rock music club called The London Fog on the Sunset Strip in LA in the 1960s.

Joe, cheese and pickle sandwiches are a British delicacy made with cheddar cheese and pickle, which is a chutney-like (not relish, Harry) condiment made from vegetables like rutabaga (swede), carrots, onions and cauliflower, pickled in a sauce made from vinegar, tomato, apple and spices. My favorite pickle is Branston's. I usually get the small chunk variety.
@sontaron7 Ай бұрын
Actually Piccalilli is a type of relish. A chutney usaly is made with some fresh ingredients whereas relish generally is a way of cooked preserving ingredients

Regular sugar cookies aren’t frosted, but like snickerdoodles w/o the cinnamon. And again, it’s sad that they are sampling items that have been sitting around for up to an hour or so. The iced drinks look quite diluted from the ice melting. :-( My iced teas look much darker than the one he tried. They do make their pitchers of tea concentrated and add some water during preparation, but you can ask for no/less water to be added. And no fake milks for me!
