Australia is second in obesity rates to only the US, and their numbers are climbing faster than anywhere else in the world.

Actually,it's second to Mexico too, as they rank before the U.S. in obesity. I'm sorry for being that guy.

Good god, how you people have a lower obesity rate than America I will never know.

Mexico has the top obesity rate of developed nations, then US, then Australia and Canada in a dead heat for third.

But if Scotland was its own country considered as an independent political entity from the UK by the WHO, it would be tied with the US for number 2.

The most obese country in the world is Tonga, though, and the next few are other small Polynesian nations. Because they're all the descendants of the people who didn't starve on the outriggers 500-1,000 years ago, and now they have chips.

One of my most disappointing food experiences as a child was when I went to New York and my first meal was at a classic diner. I ordered a turkey sandwich and it was like, two inches of the driest most tasteless turkey in the world with one lettuce leaf. Nothing else. I really hope that wasn't representative but holy poo poo was that awful.

edit: worse was that I was in New York for the opening week of Star Wars Episode 1 (I was invited by a very generous friend and his family)

Right, England is not a country, the UK is a country. I mean colloquially it's called a country but that would be considered technically incorrect here, since it's not an independent political entity.

It makes no sense since we are essentially saying "roll in sausage" when the sausage is actually in the roll but heh.

Also lol at black pudding in a roll being considered unique. A roll in tattie scone and black pudding is a weekend breakfast essential to most people up here.

I lived on roll n bacon when I worked in the Partick morrisons foor a year. I put on like a stone and a half despite working a pretty physcial job. E: that was some anti-food-porn that job. Never learn how square sausage is made if you ever want to eat it again.

That being said, I have since eaten square sausage.

One of the butchers I worked with used to fry black pudding on the clingfilm heat sealers in the mornings.

It's so ridiculous. The way Atkins works (and it does, with caveats) is by cutting out ALL carbs, like absolute zero, which is the only thing that triggers the bodyhack. Just reducing your carb intake by like 30% or whatever doesn't do a drat thing except make you more annoying to eat with.

As with so many things, people have absorbed the first half of the single-sentence gist of a thing, and missed the rest, like the Nazis reading that medallion inscription off that dudes hand

Carb-counting can be helpful if you're trying to lose weight, if only because doing it correctly means you get hyper-aware of your portions, portion sizes, and food recommendations, and you can regulate that poo poo tightly.

Anyone who's an annoying rear end in a top hat about it can go jump, though.

Also in NZ we call both chips (fries) and chips (crisps) "Chips"

Thin layer of mayonnaise and/or mustard is how we do it around here. And yes, we know about the fries and crisps or chips and chips things in other countries, despite what you may want to tell yourself. Enjoy your chips and fries and try calming your tits for a few seconds.

Re:Butter
Americans really need to discover the secrets arts of salted butter/Beurre demi-sel, and how to spread that into a thin layer in bread/baguettes for sandwiches. Hell you can even add a little mayonnaise (not the cholesterol-satured white kind) for flavor if you want. Just don't make the layers 1cm thick

You realize that salted butter spread in a thin layer is pretty much the only way Americans ever eat butter on bread, right? Just not usually in sandwiches.

Want to know what an "American style" sandwich is?

You go into any deli or supermarket or bodega that has a Boar's Head type counter. You tell the guy what kind of bread you want and what to put on it. He makes it and gives it to you.

Or, y'know, go to Subway.

"herbed" pork/chicken cutlet that has been burned chasing the maillard dream without understanding the chemistry behind it, mashed potatoes with what looks like mushrooms, probably contains enough garlic to kill the entirety of twilight, and green beans green enough to let me know they came out of a quick steamer bag from the frozen section. If the person actually could make green beans like that, they wouldn't have been such a fuckup with the rest.
