The crab was nice too, but just... well... cooked, like they do in Cromer. The best crab I have eaten was in a Thai restaurant, and the spiced up the meat before putting it back in the shell. I once ordered crab in a Chinese restaurant in Cambridge, and they gave me a pair of chopsticks to crack the claws with. I ended up putting them under the leg of the chair and sitting down hard.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-37868032588315691232011-05-04T22:47:59.252-07:002011-05-04T22:47:59.252-07:00I once had a 'steak sandwich' at Miami air...I once had a 'steak sandwich' at Miami airport that was a huge steak between two slices of bread.

Having said that, it's difficult to go wrong with a good old roast, so I don't know how the mad American managed. That's what I call true genius.<br /><br />The British are now extremely good at copying other European country's staple dishes, and quite often we import nationals from those countries to cook it for us. These do not - however - include American or German nationals. I can honestly say that I make a much better hamburger than MacDonalds, and my KFC is better than Colonel Sanders.

And, indeed we have had some pretty scary events in Wales and Scotland come to think of it!<br /><br />We can readily identify with the comfort of living perpetually in the 1950s. Believe us when we tell you that C21 living in Budapest is precisely that [just a few people speaking Hungarian makes the difference from 1950s Blighty].<br /><br />Food we feel, but then again we may be wrong here, does seem in our albeit limited experience to bring out the worst in Americans.
