Manchester your post made me hungry. There are indeed so many great foods from around the world. One thing I miss though is more variation in Italian restaurants, the Italian kitchen is so rich, but all you ever see is pasta and pizza, now do not get me wrong,I love both pizza and pasta, but it would be nice to see more of the Italian kitchen.

I also really like the English kitchen, it is often overlooked and marked as boring, however I love things like Sheppard's Pie and other traditional British foods. I love fancy foods to, but sometimes I just like to relax with something simple.

I also love all kinds of Asian food, I love to taste spices that are normally not used over here. Often in Asian food flavors are mixed in ways which really work out well but which is not common over here and it is exiting to try out.

Book you made me smile with you're mention of "Shepherd's Pie" we also have "Cottage Pie" here in the UK but someone more knowledgable than me will have to explain the difference.

My fave food has to be Italian-though I haven't tried the spaghetti desert thing they specialise in yet and I'm very curious as to what that tastes like.

We have this going on at the moment. I like bacon, but in moderation!

And yes, there is bacon in that sundae.

I'm also a lover of bacon, but even I wouldn't get the bacon sundae. All I can say is "ick!"

Shepherd's is made with lamb or mutton, cottage is made with beef ;)

I do love a good cottage pie. Anything with Mashed potato really - bangers and mash is a definite favourite.

As for bacon, I think it depends on how it's cooked. I often find restaurants do bacon far too streaky and crispy. This is how good bacon looks.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing! Undercooked egg, raw bacon......*gag*

[ferretchucker]

Pfft! I wouldn't touch egg! The chick's that...never were :(

But that bacon is perfect! None of that brittle streaky crap.
