Somewhat, but you are still using the coffee beans which were cultivated using slave labor at one point or something. I don't know I didn't read the article. My great grandparents were super poor farm workers in Sicily so I'm still learning about how racist I am as the grandchild of immigrants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey something? he's a dick but I'd eat his food. Don't like the Brits? I agree sandwiches are sometimes dry there but the country side is moist and verdant. Lush. And there really was an Earl of Sandwich. btw, I think parts of London have more Indian restaurants than India. My only complaint is they cheat on portions for profit. Maybe you need to try better places. I guess if they colonized u it might be different. And what's wrong with the BBC? Jules at night is brilliant. Hugh Grant's movies are kinda cool if you're in the mood. Oh, and Monty Python, elitist oxbridge bastards that they are , are really funny. Perhaps you'd enjoy Benny Hill. He's generally right about British food being pretty bland. I think both Ramsey and Oliver trained extensively in France, fwiw. London has decent food, but for a city of its stature it comes up pretty short in comparison with NY, Paris, Rome, etc. Hugh Grant is ok, but who doesn't like (some) Monty Python? and what kid didn't like watching Benny Hill chase scantily clad women around set to madcap music?

Like the Idea of a global farmers market. And the same could almost always be said that preparing food at home is cheaper than paying someone else to make it for you. l Edited March 20, 2023 by Chris farley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always stop at Nandos for chicken when we’re there. I think it’s considered South African with the perri perri sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest I've gotten was going to eating it was at EPCOT, eating at the "Rose and Crown" in the England pavilion. But I rarely want to eat there because it's SOOOOOO boring.

You need to get out more. I suspect the cafe in the British Museum, Tate Modern or even Pret au Manger is better than most in Epcot. Definitely better coffee. Disney's food sucks.

Disney food at the countries in EPCOT does not suck, along with all the fine dining options Disney has overall. I assume you stick with the cafeteria style, which is fine if your goal is a quick meal, but making that kind of statement is ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be very upscale. $37.50 + $25 for 3 courses with matched wine and then a Cezanne exhibit appeals to me more than anything at Epcot.

You should get a new mirror. In its reflection you can revel in the glory of an upper middle-aged white man who has accomplished so much in life that he is comfortable labeling people of color as Uncle Tom’s. Keep in mind that beauty is only skin deep however. Racist ugliness goes clear to the bone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
