Sorry for the derail but I fuckin love me some racoons

i mean what makes chicago hot dogs good is all the stuff that goes on there, the actual hot dog itself is usually just a regular hot dog

Chicago dogs are typically made with Vienna beef natural casing hot dogs so you're wrong, sorry. Nobody is making a Chicago dog with lovely ballpark franks.

When I lived in London I found that there was a lot more bad bread and an insane amount of prepared food in the supermarket compared with continental Europe, and it was honestly more similar to the United States in those regards.

In the US this is unnecessary because everybody brings a bottle of mayo / ranch /manch as part of their everyday carry.

Or just leave the restaurant to go and buy some.

Do people in the UK agree on a single version of a good as the best? Seems to be "meat pie" is just a meat pie wherever, same with a pasty or whatever.

Kind of like how in America everyone agrees Chicago hotdogs and New York pizza are clearly the best versions with very little disagreement.

Nobody outside of new yorkers think nyc pizza is the best, that's some Bodega Tweeter tier opinion

Mmm, really bland pizza by the slice, sold by a man in an I T A L I A hoodie and Yankees cap. poo poo is practically british

None of us know but ancient prophecy foretells that, if we ever figure it out, the world will end. If you’ve kept up at all with our foreign and domestic policy you’ll understand that’s our main, hidden objective. Hence, the national dialogue rages on.

New York style pizza is good admittedly, but only if you eat it in New York. The secret is the water (they drug the water so that you’re constantly hallucinating you’re eating better food).

None of these pizzas qualify as good

They qualify as poo poo you eat when you really don't want to cook/have a party/are depressed/just want to lounge around for a day or so

The kicker is that all the chain pizza places are so understaffed in the US right now that they aren't cheaper or more convenient at this point.

For some reason this year at the Maryland renfaire there were a lot of people wearing mushroom hats.

And there was one guy in a typical renfaire getup except also wearing a full Spiderman mask.

But I can confirm turkey legs.

For strictly US style pizza, I became a big fan of Detroit style since moving here. It’s not something I saw in the UK (and I swear all our knowledge of Chicago style pizza comes from lovely frozen microwave brand Chicago Town, so eating the real thing was an experience) and despite my usual taste for thinner crusts there’s just something about it that really works.

When I have friends visit from back home I often order it for them to try as it’s a bit different.

i have no idea what you are looking at but if you go to any generic seafood place of the type that appears on every pier/boardwalk in touristy seaside areas on any coast in the us its on the menu at like all of them. its also a standard appetizer in east coast italian american places. and ive never seen it with just the rings. it actually kind of bothers me thinking theres some place out there only serving the rings and presumably throwing away the tentacles? hosed up

This is also the case in the Midwest and the west, lol. Mr Aardvark must live in a supremely “special” place

Yeah, deep dish is mainly for tourists. Aurelio’s is a pretty good chain restaurant representation of the style commonly eaten by area residents.
