Re: Answers I gave to my boss at work asking me what I didn't like about America
My boss was a closet Stalinist originally from Eastern Europe. There was not much about America that he liked, although he cravenly tried to fit in by following football & basketball etc. there wasn't anything in the "anti-American" line that I could say that didn't pale beside his anti-Americanism.

Add me to the list. I always had to cut ghastly soft fat off UK bacon, whereas it's all crispy and edible here!

That being said, while I can tolerate American bacon for the sake of a quiet life and because eating it for breakfast once a week won't kill me, there is just no substitute for the combination of white pan loaf, thickly spread creamery butter, many rashers of back bacon and an imperial gallon of HP sauce. Combined with a nice strong cup of tea. Milk, no sugar. Bliss.
