HEH HEH HEH. sorry mate, couldn'thelp myself. Being a Irish-American, I get all the benefits of being Irish, without all that dislike of the English that sometimes goes along with it.
I knew what a 1-with was, but I never ordered a full english. although considering what the "full monty" is to the english, I'm not sure I want to know.

(sticks head into thread)
Full english?
Full monty?
Well this artery clogged american is going to have his mountain dew and 3am hoagie (3rd shift means meals are way off). And i hope that when i get home that i have some scrapple forbreakfast.
So i have a brit friend (dont we all) that says he cant find proper fish and chips in the US. Define proper?

I've never actually seen scrapple, butI have friends from the east coast who have told me about it. It was pretty much described to me as 'the parts of animals that don't go into pet food and boot soles, processed and compressed into a brick that you can lob through a window.'
You really eat that sh1t?

OMG the scraps make it special dont hey? Cant beat a fish buttie with scraps.
Oh and FYI:
Full English:
2 Fried Eggs, 2 Sausages, 2 Rashers of Bacon, Mushrooms, Fried Tommato, Baked Beans, 2 Slice of Toast (preferably buttered with Lurpak), cup of tea and a glass of orange juice. Utter hangover bliss 
And yeah you have to have proper chips in a chip butties, none of those limp french fries. Those area fast food snack, chips are far better.

Oh and its true, nowhere in the world does fish and chips like here in the UK. You guys just dont havea clue.
Fish and Chips is our national dish and whatever country i seem to go to they never get anywhere close to how fish and chips should taste like.

Yeah, Fish and chips back home is way better than here in the US,but I have to say, the one thing I really miss is a Chicken and Mushroom Balti Madras
And Owen, you left the slices of fried black pudding out of the full English

The only place you can really appreciate a Full English though is down the local Greasey Spoon with your mates on a Sunday lunchtime, having spent the night sleeping on the sofa, stillwearing the clothes you went out in the night before, everyone sounding like Barry White when they talk, smelling of stale smoke and booze....
Ahhhhh yeah... good times...

Yep, French Fries are an invention brought about by the Famous Scottish Restaurant 
(grrrrrr, Damn those typo's

More than half my guild is British. We also have an Aussie who is currently AWOL, a Scot no one can understand on Teamspeak, and a bunch of "Yanks".
What's worse is I am beginning to understand Brit slang. I know what tiffin, w*nker, bob's your uncle, bits and bobs, mares, and a slew of other things really mean. Well, what they mean in American English anyhow.I think English breakfasts rock, no liver or blood pudding tho.(lol, they censored the word with the asterik, finally caught on)
I am still not gonna eat any french fry sandwich.
I have an appreciation for other cultures, having spent 6 yrs + overseas. But a french fry sandwich is about as wrong as fries and gravy (which in some states is a sin, as well as against the law).
