>I'm in the UK and it is always the case that processed, mass manufactured food is looked down upon.

This from the country that brought us beans on toast? Maybe this is more of a middle class phenomenon, but the UK isn't exactly known for its food.

Hotdogs and pasta salad sounds like something a desperate college student would cobble together. Not something the average american would consider eating. Given how well we assimilate different cultures in the US, the food is one of my favorite things.

I can drive less than a few miles and literally have the best food of any number of cultures from any corner of the globe, and if I wish to cook it myself, any number of ethnic grocers to choose from. Not even to mention the food that is purely US in origin.

There are many criticisms of the US but food isn't one of them.

This is just.. not true? These are typical picnic foods.

WOW!

Posts removed for saying OP's statement that "UK isn't exactly known for its food" is both outdated and prejudiced!

Explanation needed methinks.
