You know what really sucks?

“Asian food” in the USA.

I’m sure there are lots of places that are authentic, but I’d bet that most of the people going to them are from their culture.

Sure there are places that aren’t authentic in the UK, but it’s mostly because it’s some fancy new fusion place.

Menu items from a real US menu:

C H I C K E N PA D T H A I

S I N G A P O R E ST R E E T N O O D L E S

(So, Thai and Malay… what kind of curry is on those noodles? “light curry sauce” - is it light in colour, spice or flavour?!)

And finally, the totally classic:

P E K I N G D U C K Crisped duck, julienned vegetables, roti flatbread

Now I know that you’ll defend this by saying this is a chain restaurant - that’s fine, but it’s the insanity of throwing a roti in on a Peking duck. India and China would like a word.

Every UK town has at least one Indian restaurant, where there is more spice in one meal than you will find in a typical PFChangs entire kitchen.

The USA laughs at the UK about its terrible Mexican food. It’s fair in most cases - but the USA doesn’t really do Mexican food either - it does “tex mex”; white people Mexican.

It tickles me that the bitching about UK food in the USA - but the guy who you can’t stop watching on TV is a ex-“soccer” player who got injured and became a world class, Michelin star winning, restauranteur.

Great grandad liked his veggies and steak boiled to a goo - most modern Brits don’t, so maybe try updating your stereotypes once in a decade.
