Pizza!!!

GSGUK a fussy eater? Really? I'd have never known that from your food-related posts!

In case you hadnt noticed, I'm quite a fussy eater.

I'm not.

And I have the jean size to prove it!

I like the taste of pineapple but I cant eat pineapple because its like chewing string, so if someone could invent a pepperoni and pineapple juice pizza, I'd be very happy. I cant eat celery or rhubarb for the same reason.

I thought I was the world's fussiest eater until you came along.

You can't be to fussy and survive by eating British foods.

I mostly like Fresco Pizza
I order it from "your friends- Coca Cola" like daily.
I bought a Greco Pizza today, but it sucks big time.

Well if you saw what my diet consists of, you'd be surprised, even knowing how fussy I am.

I basically live on bread (which I make myself because bread here is like eating candy floss (cotton candy)), cheese, salad, corn on the cob, potatoes, onions, carrots, and pasta.

I eat beef and chicken once in a very blue moon, but I dont eat fish, lamb, pork, or any other animal/meat. I can maybe handle bacon once in a while (which I know is pork!) but thats very rare too.

Drinks wise, I'm a diet coke kind of guy. I dont do tea and I dont do coffee. I do do whisky, wine, vodka and beer though although not in the same glass.

I am a very experienced British food expert (LMAO) as I have had a club sandwich and a coke at Heathrow airport once while I was between flights and I thought that it was delicious although they made it with hard boiled egg which was different.

I dont eat eggs, but arent American club sandwiches made with hard boiled eggs too?

In any case, you buy a sandwich in the UK, and its two slices of bread and you need a microscope to see the filling. A few years ago, in the 80s, Selfridges (department store) opened a little restaurant in their food hall, and the sign above the door said 'OVERSTUFFED AMERICAN SANDWICHES', and my mother actually complained to the restaurant manager, because it was literally two slices of (cheap) bread and one slice of pastrami and a slice of dill pickle.

You need more (or some) protein in your diet.

No they are not but you can request them if you like.

Such a deal!!!

Harrods has one purpose in life. To screw as much money out of American and Japanese tourists as possible, and they've turned it into an art form, far more so than any other company. I have no idea what people see in the place. Its filled with overpriced crap that not a single person on the planet could ever possibly want, and that includes a $60 sandwich bill.

I cant bear the thought of tourists coming to the UK and thinking 'OMG OMG OMG we absolutely MUST go to Harrods because its just so quaint and Lady Di used to go there all the time!!!!!'.

Its a department store stocked with crap. More crap than any other department store, and they're all stocked with crap. And its such horribly overpriced crap.

But if ever anyone wants to see 50000000 American tourists buying chocolate covered quail eggs filled with duck liver pate, all wearing plaid trousers and beige raincoats made by London Fog (because obviously, everyone in the UK wears a raincoat  and because obviously, its always foggy in London  ), then Harrods is the place to go.

My father used to work for Harrods.

Down South we call them, "Yankee Traps".   

[Chavster]

Yup, thats what it is, along with Buckingham Palace, Madame Tussauds and several other places. Harrods now opens its Christmas decorations department in July so that Marge and Herbert Egelberger from Des Moines can buy themselves a nice $400 bauble to put on their Christmas tree in December, when they visit London, England on their once-in-a-lifetime summer vacation.

(and why is it always London England, and not just London? I know there's a London in Canada and a London in Kentucky, but even if most Americans are talking about Khartoum or Ras al Khaimah, its never JUST Khartoum or Ras al Khaimah, its Khartoum Sudan and Ras al Khaimah United Arab Emirates. What, like there's a Ras al Khaimah in Utah too?)

When I go to America, I'm very happy to buy myself a pair of $5 socks when I'm in Macys, and because I have a UK passport, I get a further 11% off Or even better, the same socks in Walmart for $2.98 without an 11% discount
