British Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott (who once ate a meal of curry with baked beans piled on top), says he hates foreign food -

Prezza hates foreign muck



Jabba: Deputy PM John Prescott.


A snail: The French love eating them - dipped in garlic.


By TONY BEANNICI (sorry, BONNICI)

BEANS-MAD Deputy PM John Prescott had lunch with The Sun — and revealed he HATES foreign food.

Mr Prescott, 67, invited us to join him after we told how he piled baked beans on top of his meal at the Home Office canteen.

The podgy politician admitted he often cannot face the grub served up when on Government business abroad — and longs for simple British fare.

Two Jags said: “I like plain food, I don’t like fancy food. When they’ve mucked around with it they’ve taken away the natural taste of it. French food is too heavy for me.

“We were in South Africa and they had alligator and giraffe but I just couldn’t bring myself to eat them. It’s difficult in China too because you don’t know what’s in the bloody dish.”

Mr Prescott stressed the meal he was pictured eating last week was a stew, not a curry as we said.

And he revealed that his favourite evening meal at home is bacon or sausage — with beans.

Tucking into a Whitehall canteen vegetable stew — with beans on top — he went on: “I like beans with everything. I eat a lot of beans. I have beans on toast at night and I make a beans toastie. But I won’t have them cold.”

He added: “This gourmet food, let’s face it, it’s got to a stage where it’s more like constructing food not cooking. I was in a restaurant the other week and to be honest I didn’t like it.

“I had chopped liver and mash. And the liver was in some fancy sauce and the sauce was covering the liver taste, the mash and the onions.”

How about stew? Chopped liver and mash? Shepherd's pie? My English granny seems to think there is indeed something called "English food".

RE: Prezza hates foreign

most of those dishes named above are eaten in america and over the world anyway, and not refered to as "english food"

sausage and mashed potato is certainly known the world over and not just for being "English", fish and chips?...the whole of Australasia eats it.

Those dishes you named really arent cooked that much over here these days.....sure it's traditional but most people eat food from all over the world, and a lot of those recipies are dying.....as you know, I've been to america, canada etc....I honestly didnt notice much of a difference...except portion sizes......oh and America cant make a decent sausage

Sorry Daz; I was wrong :cry: :cry:

I was just going by what "used" to be known as "English" food, now apparently known as "worldwide" food.

So, I guess the world knows a good thing when it tastes it,,,,,,eh wot
:?:

We (us, i.e. me and the missus) still use the term to help differentiate between "English" food and say.........chop suey and egg rolls.....

See wot I mean mate? Nudge nudge - wink wink - no 'arm done eh!!

:wink:

RE: Prezza hates foreign

lol....let's leave off the "hows ur father" lines lol. Nope, I admit, my mum still cooks a fair bit of that, but she is old......seriously, if you look at "english" food persay, and compare it to american and canadian food, they are much more closely linked than french and german, or thai and chinese...

so what I'm saying really is that I could look at a restaurant menu in say......Grande Teton village (I know that makes me laugh too) and understand it perfectly, and know my tastebuds would not be offended by the food cus it's ll pretty much the same...if not larger

I didn't think the fact that it's eaten around the world meant that it wasn't traditional English food. We all eat Chinese food, but we haven't stopped calling it that (same with Italian, or Indian, etc). Speaking of.... I'm going to order some takeout.

Ick. One thing I won't miss about living in California when I leave is the excessive amount of refried beans involved meals at the hospital cafeteria...
