Get fooked. Portugal do some great coffee too.

Their TV is shit, mind.
I have been in Portugal, a number of times.

It is true, Portugal has nice espresso BUT you have to ask for "cafe' curto", the regular coffee is still too
long for my own taste but if you ask for a curto you'll be fine.

All people in Portugal anyway tell me that they learnt the way to make coffee from Italians, that's why the
coffee is so good there :wink:

We quite enjoyed Portuguese TV, Canal Panda is our favourite, how can you not like Panda Cozinha ? :wink:

1. Grotty hotels with *kill yourself* rooms.
2. Tube.

Each country has it's own great food, you just need to adapt and try new stuff.

Also, the fixation on stoicism when faced with problems that could easily be fixed instead of just stoic-ed at.

Being of Italian parents I likes Tomatoes, nice juicy, chunky/meaty acid free Italian tomatoes.... that's why I pinch may Dad's home grown ones :-) All shop bought varieties fail to compare.

This example image are quite small, think 2 - 3 times the size...

Italian coffee is so over-rated. They made it so strong that they had to devise other ways of making it palatable (like cappuccino).

So, choose only 2 dreadful things in Britain?
1 - The people
2 - How expensive everything is.

PS - Giles, I will have to enter my gumbo recipe into the computer and I've been very busy. You'll get it soon.

As I feel not worth to try the art of pizza not being initiated to it I am trying another one.

I've done "step 1 and 2" about the "build your own tandoor" but I still have to finish it.

I'll let you know if/when I'll manage to.

Meanwhile I continue to master the art of real BBQ.
