It's KFC. It's most likely not actually bacon. LOL.

Originally posted by Sushipunk I tried a lot of butchers as well, in MANY cities in the UK. Maybe I was just unlucky, I don't know. You'll understand when you come over here to visit, eventually Our meat and produce are among the best in the world, which is why we're a huge exporter for it

I've eaten Australian Lamb. It's good but not quite comparable with our spring lamb which is especially delicate and delicious. I have strawberry issues though, most supermarket ones suck now. I was amazed because in one store in ontario, i found organic californian ones at $1.99 for 225g and they were the best I've had in 20 years. So good I went back the next day & bought 3 more packs of them.

diet coke in jamaica tastes like ass

milk in france is so heavily pasteurized it doesn't even need to be refrigerated until you open it

I got fresh milk when I was in Paris, and in Toulouse. That was 10 years ago, but still

yeah... it's pretty nasty. thankfully, i live in such a small village we get our milk fresh from the farm! it tastes great, even though it smells a little bit like cow...

in toulouse i only ever had the crazy pasteurized stuff. i tried to put a new unopened bottle in the fridge b/c i thought someone left it out and they explained to me it didn't have to be refrigerated until it was opened. i was like ...

I grew up near dairy farms. That's the best milk you can get, nothing beats it

Nearly impossible to get now, living in a city

The stuff I buy in spain is tasty but once it's open even in a fridge it goes off within 48 hrs or so.

hey stu, does cock taste different in different countries?

pkc loves the coq.... au vin

My uncle slaughtered a cow for christmas and my cousin dropped about half of it off today, whole freezer is a bovine crime scene

The french have rubbish milk but they do make up for it with their cheeses and pastry's that are really good, compared to most Aust and NZ cheeses which are sort of average-meh. They aren't as terrible as US cheese and some white crap in a bottle pretending to be milk, I don't know what they do to it over there but its unholy.

Think I've managed to avoid most of the chain-restaurants when I could when travelling, nearly died from Taco Bell in NY. Though I think the majority of McD's and the like probably still rate over most things in Scotland that has a national cuisine speciality of 'not-food'
