[net.misc] How to eat dinner in England :-)

To my opinion, you DON'T. If you want to stay alive, you will try to avoid
to have dinner in the UK (and Ireland as well).

The average quality of the food is, like totally awesome. TOTALLY!!!

The dutch author Leonard Huizinga gives a good impression on the
British food standard; it is (slightly edited) like this:

   "..it is advisable to digest all the parts of the breakfast, even that
    horrible piece of drowned land that is called porridge...
    The English breakfast is the only meal that may be called a meal.
    Lunch and dinner exist only from in old sea water boiled hand painted
    bastard peas sometimes served with a piece of dead cattle, which hasn't
    been processed at all during its journey between the slaughter-house
    and your plate. The only well prepared English dish is the plum pudding,
    which isn't pudding but a kind of currant pie with an average weight
    of 12 kilogram a cubic inch and is set in fire before being consumed.
    Something one should do with all the food in England."
