(OT)There's nothing wrong with the Brits that some cooking lessons couldn't fix.

Tut tut -g-

Well, we are catching up slowly..

Note...next link is absolute baloney. Oliver and other chefs stuff are as simple and straightforward as you can get. There is no excuse for bone idle or completely talentless folks to screw up.

The last link above runs a show (ready, steady, cook) here where you start with ingredients costing £5 and have to cook the dishes in 5 minutes. This kinda represents the single person scenario. Amazing stuff.

There are another 430 links. So that's BBC. Shall I go onto the independent channels? -g-

I would also like to point out that, as a keen cook (I enjoyed cooking for myself as a single person), I lived in the Good 'ol USA for 9 years, as well as live here. I know the quality of the food and the cooking in both our counties. I can even make a cup of coffee that the most refined USA palate would give a pass mark to. (99% here can't btw, just warning up front)

I used to read the Eastern USA local papers comments about "British Cooking". So called journalists would go on vacation in Britain and come back with tales of woe. Brainless bimbos usually. Reinforcing the apparent truth. Some people are beyond help left to their own devices.

Generally I like American style food, specially the service. Typically first class.

Where ever I am. I eat and drink what the locals do. The food is fresher, cheaper, and you are less likely to get poisoned. Even if the locals eat foreign weird stuff. I steer away from eels in jelly though -g-
