STEP OUTSIDE SIR!
The British are superior to the rest of the World ... Slang duly steps outside ... Chris runs over to the door and locks it then hides down in the cellar ... not easy, my house doesn't have a cellar :D

(slang knocks on the door) Can I come back in? I have some burgers. American burgers......the type that solve all diplomatic ills. Do you need permission from the Queen to eat burgers? American burgers?

Ahem. You're in the Cellar, sir.:p

I've never had an American burger ... are they big?

Everything in America is bigger and better, Chris! Ugly American hyperbole aside, often they are. 4 oz. burgers (before cooking) have become fairly standard fast food fare, and some chain restaurants stack 'em up ... double or triple burgers at Wendy's for example. Many sit down restaurants will serve 6 or 8 oz. burgers, and I've even seen a 16 oz burger. I'm sure SOMEBODY orders that, but I personally regard such a thing as a novelty item.

I have a friend that lives in Hampshire...I think. Andover is the town.

I have a preference to Chelsea...it's who I play on FIFA 2003.

Chris, you may have read some stuff in the media about how the United States is becoming an incredibly obese nation. For all the health food fanatics we have in this country, we like everything supersized. Supersized sodas, supersized burgers, supersized portions, etc. You'll eat well if you ever come over here, but you better make sure you exercise regularly. You could gain 10 pounds your first day here if you're not careful.

I've et 2/3rds of a 16oz burger. At a coffee shop in Vegas at 3 am. OMG, ANOTHER THREAD gets hijacked into a food and drink discussion.

Blimey! your all making me hungry now!! :o I wouldn't say I was the slimmest of people and I'd prolly give myself two weeks in America before I came down with a serious eating disorder. :eek:

Hey, like the al Qaeda says, it's a decadent society. We shouldn't let them down by not being as decadent as possible.

I'm doing my share!;)

You saw that at Fuddrucker's, didn't you?

Gave me a start, I can tell you. But one day I'll bring an appetite and have one just for the novelty of it.

YUM!

Brian

That will of course have to wait until there is a Fuddruckers up here ... your state still appears to have issues with people who support the 2nd Amendmet. ;)

Glad to see you Chris, for some reason it helps the conversation to have a face, even a hard one, in mind.

Anybody know when Manchesters MLS tour is happening?

There was a bbq place up in Ithaca that had like a 40 oz steak. If you could eat it with the sides you ate for free. Two guys were on the wall of shame there for doing it.
