I would comment, but I’m too busy watching “Deliciously Easy Beef Burgers – Classic Mary Berry – BBC One.”
Thanks, Ron, for preserving this content. You never know when the censors will strike.
Recipe note: apparently in the UK hamburgers use a basically meatloaf mix rather than pure beef.
I used propane, a dangerous gas that should be more tightly regulated because it kills people. I should not even be allowed to have it.
For some smokiness, I used mesquite wood chips soaked in water, placed in an iron box over the flames.
I am not on Facebook or Twitter, because I don't care about cat pictures or what my friends did on vacation. Plus I have a bad temper and I don't want to get myself in trouble. Big Brother already knows who I am; why make his job easier?
Why is anyone ever surprised when people abuse and misuse private information when they have access to it? Americans, at least, used not to be under the illusion that human beings were anything but flawed and incapable of participating in utopian experiments.

Fish and chips is not really British. It is a Portuguese Jewish dish. The Portuguese also taught the Japanese to fry battered fish – thus tempura.
The British don’t really have a cuisine. They just steal other people’s cuisine. They were into cultural appropriation before there was even a word for it.

It is commonly said, even by the English themselves, that English cooking is the worst in the world. It is supposed to be not merely incompetent, but also imitative, and I even read quite recently, in a book by a French writer, the remark: ‘The best English cooking is, of course, simply French cooking.’Now that is simply not true, as anyone who has lived long abroad will know, there is a whole host of delicacies which it is quite impossible to obtain outside the English-speaking countries. No doubt the list could be added to, but here are some of the things that I myself have sought for in foreign countries and failed to find.First of all, kippers, Yorkshire pudding, Devonshire cream, muffins and crumpets. Then a list of puddings that would be interminable if I gave it in full: I will pick out for special mention Christmas pudding, treacle tart and apple dumplings. Then an almost equally long list of cakes: for instance, dark plum cake (such as you used to get at Buzzard’s before the war), short-bread and saffron buns. Also innumerable kinds of biscuit, which exist, of course, elsewhere, but are generally admitted to be better and crisper in England.Then there are the various ways of cooking potatoes that are peculiar to our own country. Where else do you see potatoes roasted under the joint, which is far and away the best way of cooking them? Or the delicious potato cakes that you get in the north of England? And it is far better to cook new potatoes in the English way — that is, boiled with mint and then served with a little melted butter or margarine — than to fry them as is done in most countries.Then there are the various sauces peculiar to England. For instance, bread sauce, horse-radish sauce, mint sauce and apple sauce; not to mention redcurrant jelly, which is excellent with mutton as well as with hare, and various kinds of sweet pickle, which we seem to have in greater profusion than most countries.What else? Outside these islands I have never seen a haggis, except one that came out of a tin, nor Dublin prawns, nor Oxford marmalade, nor several other kinds of jam (marrow jam and bramble jelly, for instance), nor sausages of quite the same kind as ours.Then there are the English cheeses. There are not many of them but I fancy Stilton is the best cheese of its type in the world, with Wensleydale not far behind. English apples are also outstandingly good, particularly the Cox’s Orange Pippin.And finally, I would like to put in a word for English bread. All the bread is good, from the enormous Jewish loaves flavoured with caraway seeds to the Russian rye bread which is the colour of black treacle. Still, if there is anything quite as good as the soft part of the crust from an English cottage loaf (how soon shall we be seeing cottage loaves again?) I do not know of it.

Inasmuch as potatoes are a New World crop, it must be a relatively recent Portuguese Jewish innovation.What about Spotted Dick, Haggis, Steak and Kidney Pie, Yorkshire Pudding, etc.?

After reading about Chetty’s study on social mobility, I decided to do my own analysis.
So here’s what I did.
1. I inputed the rates of incarceration, overdose, teen pregnancy, youth deaths, parental incarceration, and youth degree attainment for each state. Using these rates, I computed a “Pro-Social Behavior Index” for each state. I only used rates for the Non-Hispanic White population of each respective state.
2. I then inputed the cost-of-living adjusted household income of each state. Again, I only used the income statistics of the Non-Hispanic White population of each respective state. By combining this income statistic with the “Pro-Social Behavior Index” (see point 1), I calculated each state’s “Prosperity Index.”
3. I repeated steps 1&2 (see above) for the Black population of each state.
The “Pro-Social Behavior Index” is a good indicator of how well the inhabitants of a particular state “behave” themselves. So if you’re a parent with kids (or looking to have kids), a “Pro-Social” state would give you a more family-friendly environment and a better opportunity to raise well-behaved children.
The “Prosperity Index” includes the above behavioral metrics, but also factors in cost-of-living adjusted income. This is a good indicator of which states facilitate both “good behavior” and economic prosperity. For parents who are status-strivers and want to maximize their child’s well-being and financial earnings, this index is a good tool for determining where they could settle.
Here’s the “Pro-Social Behavior Index” for Non-Hispanic White Americans.
Here’s the “Prosperity Index” for Non-Hispanic White Americans.
Here’s the “Pro-Social Behavior Index” for Black Americans.
Here’s the “Prosperity Index” for Black Americans.
For some states, I had limited data for Blacks. So for those states, I put an asterisk by the state name. If the data were especially limited, I put two asteriks. So if you see one or two asterisks, you should assume that the state’s small black population made it difficult to gather reliable data. View that state’s “Index” cautiously.
It seems like the Upper Midwest, the Northeast, and California are comparatively good places for Non-Hispanic Whites. Given the high cost of living and concentration of economic activity, it's not surprising that the Northeast and California do well. It's more impressive that the Upper Midwest, which is relatively affordable and more low-key, is such a strong performer. That region seems to be doing something right.
Appalachia, the Deep South, the Ozarks, parts of the Southwest, and some of the backwater states do poorly. I'd assume that's because these areas tend to get drained of their talented and enterprising people. The opoid epidemic has hit many of these areas pretty hard too.
According to Chetty's Map, young working-class Non-Hispanic White Males do well in the Upper Midwest and Mountain states. Texas and, interestingly, Lousiana are very strong performers too. Part of California, the Northeast, and the Southwest perform decenly. They do poorly in the Southeast (especially Appalachia) and much of the Greater Rust Belt.
Chetty thinks that working-class young Black males do poorly in the Rustbelt, California's Central Valley, and Florida.
As Steve Sailer pointed out, some of this is probably due to boom/bust cycles. These cycles especially affect the wages of younger blue collar men in resource extraction industries. This probably accounts for why oil-rich Texas does so well for Non-Hispanic White men.
However, even with the boom/bust cycles, my analysis is that the Upper Midwest is a genuinely good place for Non-Hispanic White families and young blue collar White men. California and the Northeast are pricier, but can be adequate if you find the right economic niche (like a good union job). The Southeast (outside of major metros like Atlanta and Charlotte) seems comparatively like a poor choice.
I think in-migration revealed preferences show the best places for average whites, which are sunbelt outer suburbs and the interior West.
And concur with Lot--a lot of selection.
For instance California. The whites remaining there are generally on the ball. They tend to have either decent tech or other professional jobs or be grandfathered in the public sector.
But about the worst possible advice you can give a young person is "go to California". They may do well with a good salary, but they'll be paying for the welfare state for all the Mexicans--schooling, medical care, welfare, plus roads, prisons and a huge bureaucracy. Housing in a district with "good schools"--i.e. fellow whites and Asians--will be hideously expensive. Essentially their IQ and productivity will be used to support the Mexican invasion force, while suppressing their own fertility. The California metros are genetic "IQ shredders".
Depends on what you value--i like the mountains, outdoors, scenery so i like the intermountain West and would point a kid at Colorado, Utah, Montano, Idaho, Wyoming, but there are fine places in the midwest and south as well. Basically you want to pick somewhere that still has a lot of whites and available land--essentially the deal we had in the "old America" and plant your flag there.Replies: @JohnnyWalker123, @JohnnyWalker123
Any idea on where to get this sort of info? Ideally it would just be raw hospital birth records that include the full name.
I expect we'd see Mexicans and SE Asians as the most likely to give their children normal American names, NE Asians a little behind, Muslims and Indians the least, with African Americans and non-Mexican hispanics in the middle.
The Brits were busy building a civilization. Culture is for the also-rans.

It's a bit like a good paranoid conspiracy thriller though, there is almost enough evidence to go either way. The "fellow Jews" bit sounds like an alt-right troll account, but the first name needs work. Instead of Manny, Moshe or Ari or Avigdor or even the more obscure Elad would point in that direction.
But the important question is do British burger joints have grooming gangs.
I’ve never had an account on face-crook or any of the other either and still think I’n being spied on.
Has anyone noticed the virtually orgasmic coverage the “Children’s Crusade Against the Second Amendment” on public radio and MSM yesterday?
They breathlessly proclaim how the “teenagers” are coordinating 800 demonstrations around the USA and the world.
Still no coverage of exactly who’s paying for all this, except for “60 Minutes” and their “Hollywood” money.
Never, probably. They asked permission to do it, after all, and people gave it to them.
Of course, all the people who say that “everyone knew” about this already are wrong too. Everybody with an IQ over a hundred might have known, but I guarantee you people below that didn’t. And that’s a lot of people.
So, no, he won’t be going to prison. What I hope for, more than anything else, is this is what gets average people to stop thinking of Silicon Valley corporations as being somehow different than other corporations. For too long, a lot of people have still been stuck in the sort of late 90s mindset, where Silicon Valley is still hip and cool and above criticism.
I don’t know if you remember these speeches Silicon Valley guys would give back then, where they’d use all these buzzwords and annoying hand gestures and people would walk away mesmerized. A lot of people still basically think of internet companies like that. And the sad thing is, most of the people who are so outraged now will probably forget all about this in a few weeks, and everything will go right back to the way it was.

Any GOP politician who is not calling for more free speech on the internet and corporate media is conspiring with guys like Zuckerberg to stifle free speech.

Google is the Deep State favorite. Facebook is second but not a close second. Google is disciplined and organized while Facebook is nasty, greedy and chaotic. Though still outrageously profitable. One must respect Jeff Bezos because he has used computerization and automation to make the most rational, effective delivery of physical, real world items, like a chain saw, not email, chatware, messaging and software and social networks. Amazon has a much more difficult task than google and ZuckBook.
PLUS in the non-physical. In the cloud, Amazon cloud services is acing out the others. Thus Amazon is a double threat. Make that a triple threat with its selling of loss leader tablets that are tied into the Amazon ecosystem. Amazon even hooks up with various phone manufactures to offer smart phone X for $40 if you will accept Amazon advertising on it thus in the Amazon ecosystem. Just peruse Amazon and you will see these discounted smart phones.

Gin was a dutch invention, brought over to blighty during the reign of William III (William of Orange). The original dutch liquor was produced with a once-through pot-distillation technique that left a rather rank, foul brownish liquid that reminded people of dish-water. So they added botanicals to it for flavor. It was a scotsman, Alexander Gordon, who perfected gin. His triple-distillation technique, and particular recipe of botanicals gave us the pure, clear, bracing elixir we enjoy today.
Everyone is focusing on the data harvesting for elections. But ultimately, you can’t force a voter to pull the lever for someone they don’t want.
However there’s a bigger problem with Zuckersperg and his high-tech ilk. They’ve got a ton of data that can be mined for blackmail purposes. Even if Zuck and his peers can’t get elected to office, they can go around blackmailing candidates and force out people they don’t want in the running.
As time goes on, the tech CEOs as a class are becoming older, less tolerant, and less libertarian as a class. They’re morphing into people who have militant left-wing values, and who think nothing about forcing other people into their mindset by disseminating propaganda all over the internet and by getting people fired from their jobs.
For example, back in the 1980s, tech companies didn’t care much about the personal beliefs of their employees. They just wanted people who could code like a mofo. Nowadays, the CEOs are obsessing to an insane degree over that their employees believe, and they’re spying on their employees and creating work places where you are not allowed to have values that are different from those of your boss without getting fired.
This is a very different and crazy world, and the CEOs have absolutely zero insight into their own tyranny and are unaware that they have become a bunch of monsters. As a class, they have no psychological insight into their own behavior. Some of this has occurred as the CEOs themselves have become parents, and many of them, in trying to pound liberal values into their very isolated and wealthy kids, (whom the CEOs are terrified will become spoiled by that wealth), have decided they need to parent the rest of us, and become ‘good daddy’ in trying to make the whole country into liberals, too. But they don’t understand that you can’t parent other adults, and what’s more, you have no business doing so. Adults have the right to decide for themselves and think what they please. Tech CEOs are trampling all over our constitutional rights.
The CEOs themselves don’t live in the real world anymore, but in gated communities, both mental and physical, which create distortions of reality they are incapable of escaping from, and which they barely even know exist. They’re lost in the Matrix, as it were.

And yet no one in the MSM ever mentions that the gay mulatto’s evil minions did exactly the same thing 5 years ago. Sucked all the data the could out of Fakebook, and still have it. The only way I can watch the news is to record it on my DVR and then I can fast forward thru all the fake news and out right lying….

So here's what I did.
1. I inputed the rates of incarceration, overdose, teen pregnancy, youth deaths, parental incarceration, and youth degree attainment for each state. Using these rates, I computed a "Pro-Social Behavior Index" for each state. I only used rates for the Non-Hispanic White population of each respective state.
2. I then inputed the cost-of-living adjusted household income of each state. Again, I only used the income statistics of the Non-Hispanic White population of each respective state. By combining this income statistic with the "Pro-Social Behavior Index" (see point 1), I calculated each state’s “Prosperity Index."
3. I repeated steps 1&2 (see above) for the Black population of each state.
The "Pro-Social Behavior Index" is a good indicator of how well the inhabitants of a particular state "behave" themselves. So if you're a parent with kids (or looking to have kids), a "Pro-Social" state would give you a more family-friendly environment and a better opportunity to raise well-behaved children.
The "Prosperity Index" includes the above behavioral metrics, but also factors in cost-of-living adjusted income. This is a good indicator of which states facilitate both "good behavior" and economic prosperity. For parents who are status-strivers and want to maximize their child's well-being and financial earnings, this index is a good tool for determining where they could settle.

The problem here is that whites don’t just get to live with whites in these places.
And concur with Lot–a lot of selection.
For instance California. The whites remaining there are generally on the ball. They tend to have either decent tech or other professional jobs or be grandfathered in the public sector.
But about the worst possible advice you can give a young person is “go to California”. They may do well with a good salary, but they’ll be paying for the welfare state for all the Mexicans–schooling, medical care, welfare, plus roads, prisons and a huge bureaucracy. Housing in a district with “good schools”–i.e. fellow whites and Asians–will be hideously expensive. Essentially their IQ and productivity will be used to support the Mexican invasion force, while suppressing their own fertility. The California metros are genetic “IQ shredders”.
Depends on what you value–i like the mountains, outdoors, scenery so i like the intermountain West and would point a kid at Colorado, Utah, Montano, Idaho, Wyoming, but there are fine places in the midwest and south as well. Basically you want to pick somewhere that still has a lot of whites and available land–essentially the deal we had in the “old America” and plant your flag there.
The state-level teen pregnancy rate, youth death rate, and youth college attainment rate are all measurements of the behavioral performance of the youth of the state. Incarceration impacts people of all ages, but primarily it affects younger people. So the incarceration rate is another good indicator of whether youths are exhibiting anti-social behaviors.

You’ll get frequent requests to install the app: so just don’t. And if you do, you have only yourself to blame; before Android installs Facebook’s app it tells you very clearly what privileges — and it is a long list — the app wants.

Any idea on where to get this sort of info? Ideally it would just be raw hospital birth records that include the full name.
I expect we’d see Mexicans and SE Asians as the most likely to give their children normal American names, NE Asians a little behind, Muslims and Indians the least, with African Americans and non-Mexican hispanics in the middle.

I’ve developed a new index called the “Youth Behavior Index.” This index is a composite of the following metrics: incarceration rate, teen pregnancy rate, youth death rate, and youth college attainment rate. This is a good indicator of how well the youth in a particular state are “behaving” themselves.
The state-level teen pregnancy rate, youth death rate, and youth college attainment rate are all measurements of the behavioral performance of the youth of the state. Incarceration impacts people of all ages, but primarily it affects younger people. So the incarceration rate is another good indicator of whether youths are exhibiting anti-social behaviors.

NH White youths exhibit very pro-social behavior in New Jersey, Massachusettes, and Connecticut. The Northeast, Upper Midwest, and California tend to have pro-social NH White youths.

The trends are less clear for Blacks because many states (which have an asterisk next to them in the above chart) have limited data. However, it seems like the Northeast is doing well with its Black youth population.
So seeking out a heavily White state probably only makes sense if it performs well on the "Youth Behavior Index." For a person interested in White separatism and affordability, it might be worth looking at the Upper Midwest.
It's probably ideal to stay away from heavily White communities in Appalachia, the Ozarks, and the Deep South. The White youths of those areas demonstrate high rates of undesirable behaviors. Parts of the Southwest do poorly too.
If you're looking for a place to raise your White kids, do the following 2 steps.
1. Look at the high-performing states on the "Youth Behavior Index."
2. Eliminate the more expensive states.
3. Eliminate NAM-heavy states.
So maybe you could go to the Twin Cities.
No one wants to die young, but the youth death rate might correlate to things other than anti-social behavior. For example, in rural states, teens drive more and have worse (higher speed) auto accidents. In warmer climates people are outdoors more = more likelihood of fatal injury.
Similarly, I wonder about college achievement. The best students often leave their home state to attend college, so do they count at their home state or at their college state? If in their college state, this might account for the Northeast looking so good: they are skimming the borrowed cream of other states.

That means that even if some of the above “good behavior” states have many NAMS, those are still good places to raise your kids. Just because NH White youths turn out very well in those states, even when the NAM presence is large. In those states, NH White youths are staying out of jail, not getting pregnant, not dying, and finishing college.
So seeking out a heavily White state probably only makes sense if it performs well on the “Youth Behavior Index.” For a person interested in White separatism and affordability, it might be worth looking at the Upper Midwest.

Well, this is kind of true, but when I was growing up in England in the 50’s and 60’s, I think we ate rather better than most Americans eat today, and there was almost zero obesity.
We had excellent local lamb, beef, and chicken, and new laid eggs which always needed to be cooked for an extra minute. My sister’s husband raised a few sheep, which were butchered by his brother, we had fresh bread daily from the bakery next door to the elementary school, we had unlimited blackberries in the fall, as they grew everywhere, and of course blackberry and apple pie was the thing.
We had excellent apple pies, always made with large green Bramley apples, which were better than anything in the US, even though apple pie is regarded as a signature US dish. We also had blackcurrants, which are almost unknown in the US. In the summer, around the time of Wimbledon, strawberries were harvested in the Channel Islands and consumed in large amounts with fresh cream, a product also unknown in the US.
Milk was from grass-fed cows, but we never called it “grass fed” as we did not know there was any other kind. The farmer would deliver it daily in glass bottles with a foil top, and the cream would occupy the top two inches and would be carefully poured off to be used in various ways.
We had really tasty tomatoes that were even better fried for breakfast, and many kinds of UK and New Zealand cheeses. although yoghurt was pretty much unknown until the 60s.
Prior to entry into the Common Market in 1972, we had plenty of vegetables, but what we did not have was a lot of hot-climate fruit. We did get bananas from Grenada, Granny Smith apples from South Africa, and Jaffa oranges from Israel, but I had never seen a red water melon until I was about 20 years old, and pineapple was something that only came out of a can.
Nor did I ever see a pizza until I was an adult, but we had Welsh rarebit, which was melted cheese on toast, sometimes with some beer in the mix, which was pretty good, and Cornish pasties, Melton Mowbray pies, and a whole variety of meat pies such as steak-and-kidney, Scouse pie, steak and mushroom pie, Shepherd’s pie, mince pie, steak-and-onion pies, and so on.
There were many characteristic desserts, often served with Bird’s custard sauce which was liquid when hot, but jellified when cold.

It is commonly said, even by the English themselves, that English cooking is the worst in the world. It is supposed to be not merely incompetent, but also imitative, and I even read quite recently, in a book by a French writer, the remark: ‘The best English cooking is, of course, simply French cooking.’
Now that is simply not true, as anyone who has lived long abroad will know, there is a whole host of delicacies which it is quite impossible to obtain outside the English-speaking countries. No doubt the list could be added to, but here are some of the things that I myself have sought for in foreign countries and failed to find.
First of all, kippers, Yorkshire pudding, Devonshire cream, muffins and crumpets. Then a list of puddings that would be interminable if I gave it in full: I will pick out for special mention Christmas pudding, treacle tart and apple dumplings. Then an almost equally long list of cakes: for instance, dark plum cake (such as you used to get at Buzzard’s before the war), short-bread and saffron buns. Also innumerable kinds of biscuit, which exist, of course, elsewhere, but are generally admitted to be better and crisper in England.
Then there are the various ways of cooking potatoes that are peculiar to our own country. Where else do you see potatoes roasted under the joint, which is far and away the best way of cooking them? Or the delicious potato cakes that you get in the north of England? And it is far better to cook new potatoes in the English way — that is, boiled with mint and then served with a little melted butter or margarine — than to fry them as is done in most countries.
Then there are the various sauces peculiar to England. For instance, bread sauce, horse-radish sauce, mint sauce and apple sauce; not to mention redcurrant jelly, which is excellent with mutton as well as with hare, and various kinds of sweet pickle, which we seem to have in greater profusion than most countries.
What else? Outside these islands I have never seen a haggis, except one that came out of a tin, nor Dublin prawns, nor Oxford marmalade, nor several other kinds of jam (marrow jam and bramble jelly, for instance), nor sausages of quite the same kind as ours.
Then there are the English cheeses. There are not many of them but I fancy Stilton is the best cheese of its type in the world, with Wensleydale not far behind. English apples are also outstandingly good, particularly the Cox’s Orange Pippin.
And finally, I would like to put in a word for English bread. All the bread is good, from the enormous Jewish loaves flavoured with caraway seeds to the Russian rye bread which is the colour of black treacle. Still, if there is anything quite as good as the soft part of the crust from an English cottage loaf (how soon shall we be seeing cottage loaves again?) I do not know of it.

Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana do relatively poorly on the NH White “Youth Behavior Index.” All three lag in college attainment and are above-average in youth deaths and teen births. Idaho and Wyoming are above average in incarceration. Those states are below-average in income too.
However, the overdose rates are low in those states. So that’s positive.

It is commonly said, even by the English themselves, that English cooking is the worst in the world. It is supposed to be not merely incompetent, but also imitative, and I even read quite recently, in a book by a French writer, the remark: ‘The best English cooking is, of course, simply French cooking.’Now that is simply not true, as anyone who has lived long abroad will know, there is a whole host of delicacies which it is quite impossible to obtain outside the English-speaking countries. No doubt the list could be added to, but here are some of the things that I myself have sought for in foreign countries and failed to find.First of all, kippers, Yorkshire pudding, Devonshire cream, muffins and crumpets. Then a list of puddings that would be interminable if I gave it in full: I will pick out for special mention Christmas pudding, treacle tart and apple dumplings. Then an almost equally long list of cakes: for instance, dark plum cake (such as you used to get at Buzzard’s before the war), short-bread and saffron buns. Also innumerable kinds of biscuit, which exist, of course, elsewhere, but are generally admitted to be better and crisper in England.Then there are the various ways of cooking potatoes that are peculiar to our own country. Where else do you see potatoes roasted under the joint, which is far and away the best way of cooking them? Or the delicious potato cakes that you get in the north of England? And it is far better to cook new potatoes in the English way — that is, boiled with mint and then served with a little melted butter or margarine — than to fry them as is done in most countries.Then there are the various sauces peculiar to England. For instance, bread sauce, horse-radish sauce, mint sauce and apple sauce; not to mention redcurrant jelly, which is excellent with mutton as well as with hare, and various kinds of sweet pickle, which we seem to have in greater profusion than most countries.What else? Outside these islands I have never seen a haggis, except one that came out of a tin, nor Dublin prawns, nor Oxford marmalade, nor several other kinds of jam (marrow jam and bramble jelly, for instance), nor sausages of quite the same kind as ours.Then there are the English cheeses. There are not many of them but I fancy Stilton is the best cheese of its type in the world, with Wensleydale not far behind. English apples are also outstandingly good, particularly the Cox’s Orange Pippin.And finally, I would like to put in a word for English bread. All the bread is good, from the enormous Jewish loaves flavoured with caraway seeds to the Russian rye bread which is the colour of black treacle.

Don’t forget eels.
When I was riding my bike through the English countryside, I was getting drenched by a thunderstorm and took shelter in a small town eel shop. What was this about? Well, the proprietor was more than happy to inform me, even shared a picture book with me (which I looked through while munching two orders of eels) about eels in London during WW2, when eel had made a comeback due to the shortage of beef, mutton and the like as they were allocated for the troops in the field.
Very interesting. Eel had been a thing back in the days of Hogarth and the like, but had fallen out of favor in modern times, resurrected, as I said, in WW2 but had since slumped back down to its prewar status. He’d inherited the shop from his father and the family lived in the back. Said most of the old shops had closed down for good.
Never had tasted eel before. Got me through the thunderstorm. I left stuffed. I think I order a third portion. Kinda like herring. Pickled, creamed, in wine etc.
Sort of like TPC (The Phone Company) in a classic movie:
Apparently not.

The state-level teen pregnancy rate, youth death rate, and youth college attainment rate are all measurements of the behavioral performance of the youth of the state. Incarceration impacts people of all ages, but primarily it affects younger people. So the incarceration rate is another good indicator of whether youths are exhibiting anti-social behaviors.
I've developed a "Youth Behavior Index" for both Non-Hispanic White youths and Black youths.

https://twitter.com/BlueWave_777_/status/978024663803559936
NH White youths exhibit very pro-social behavior in New Jersey, Massachusettes, and Connecticut. The Northeast, Upper Midwest, and California tend to have pro-social NH White youths.
Mississippi, Louisana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma are the bottom-ranking states for NH Whites.
The trends are less clear for Blacks because many states (which have an asterisk next to them in the above chart) have limited data. However, it seems like the Northeast is doing well with its Black youth population.Replies: @JohnnyWalker123, @Steve Sailer, @Almost Missouri
It would be interesting to see the components that go into the Index. Or maybe a script with sliders for weighting different components depending on how much they worry you. For example, while youth incarceration is always a bad sign, teen pregnancy might indicate a prolific early-family formation culture (Mormons), so it could be pro-social rather than anti-social.
No one wants to die young, but the youth death rate might correlate to things other than anti-social behavior. For example, in rural states, teens drive more and have worse (higher speed) auto accidents. In warmer climates people are outdoors more = more likelihood of fatal injury.
Similarly, I wonder about college achievement. The best students often leave their home state to attend college, so do they count at their home state or at their college state? If in their college state, this might account for the Northeast looking so good: they are skimming the borrowed cream of other states.
English and Dutch cuisine were fine and had plenty of spices that were expensive like black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Chili and paprika came much later via Spain and Turkey. The big paprika thing in Hungary did not start until 19 century. English and Dutch definitively used much more spices than poorer further East Germans and Slavs. Even salt usage was lower in Poland and Russia because it was less affordable. This is one reason why Jewish salami is much less salty than Italian salami and also why pastries in Central and Easter Europe are less sweet (compare Amercian apple pie with Austrian apple strudel or Polish poppy seed strudel) because sugar was less affordable. There is no Jewish cuisine per se. Ashkenazi cuisine consists mostly of borrowings from Slavs, Germans and also Hungarian. It is rather bland with additional sweetness like in the gefilte fish. Jewish cuisine underwent transformation as staples began to change. With introduction of potatoes peasant and Jewish cuisine have changed and dishes like latkes, kreplach or potato filled pierogis or potato dumplings similar to gnocchi became possible. Blintzes were derived from Balkan palacinka and Polish nalesniki. Even borscht was not originally made from red beets which were introduced to Easter Europe relatively late. Before that borscht or barszcz (hogweed in Polish) derives its name from Slavic name for hogweed heracleum sphondylium from which it was made. Still in Poland and Ukraine there are soups called borscht that do not contain red beets.
Once again English cuisine is fine and certainly more interesting that Jewish cuisine.

Jewish cuisine has always been like the local cuisine with necessary adaptions to make the recipes kosher. Moroccan Jewish food is similar to Moroccan food, Polish Jewish food resembles Polish food, etc. It could not have been otherwise in an era where all ingredients were local. You weren’t going to get pineapples and mangoes in Poland. In the middle of the (long) winter, you were going to have beets and cabbage and potatoes so either you had to base your recipes around those or starve.
These places had about as much to do with actual English cuisine as McDonald’s French fries bear a relation to France.

True, but how many Italian, Mexican, Indian TV programs about cooking are on American TV to compete with the likes of Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, the Great British Bakeoff, Celebrity Masterchef, and several others?
Certain cuisines, I would say, including, for example British and Greek, depend very much on having access to the fresh authentic ingredients of the home country. I love Greek food, but have never been able to find a Greek restaurant in the US that can deliver the same eating experience as any of a thousand ordinary Greek tavernas in the Greek islands.
I love French food. Even the snackbar at the Louvre beats anything I can find in Florida for sheer yumminess, and I love the savory stuffed pancakes on sale everywhere in the streets of Paris. But there are very, very few French restaurants in my part of the US. Of course you will find them in Montreal, because that is a Francophone city, and the French influence is noticeable in Haiti, but I have never seen any in Greece that I can recall.
Other cuisines, however, like Italian and Mexican lend themselves to restaurants in the US, because the basic ingredients are very cheap and can be prepared quickly and sold for a very high mark up. English, French, and German cuisines depend more on the use of quality ingredients and slow cooking, so are not so profitable.

Yes, there are some great things to eat in England (and Scotland). I’ve been to England twice during the month of September, when the blackberries are so plentiful and so good that you can just pick them off the bushes that seem to grow on the side of every road you’re walking on and gorge yourself (actually, you can do that in California, too, in September). The baked goods are superb, as they are in every Northern European country, all of which otherwise suffer from the same general blandness (no garlic) as does English cooking. You can find great steaks, game birds, etc. Also cheeses, jams, clotted cream (back to the superb baked goods). And there is absolutely nothing like fish and chips, my favorite English food. But what’s with that ghastly, salty (no other flavor) ugly dark brown sauce they pour onto everything? Including wrecking the Sunday roast beef with the stuff? Or the weird, yellowish “Indian” food? Or the “English breakfast”–fine but kind of boring after you’ve eaten twelve of them in a row. How about scrambling the eggs for a change every once in a while? Only after Starbucks and its clones hit England could you get some decent coffee instead of that nasty Nescafe stuff. I must say, though, that I have a sneaking fondness for that English junk food that you used to be able to buy on trains: those little “sausage pies” full of God knows what–and those greasy little “currant pudding” balls that weighed about ten pounds apiece. Mmmm!
1. Not sure what the dark brown stuff is. Possibly HP Sauce. I don't care for it either. But then I don't like barbecue sauce either, which is similar. Or you could be talking about Worcestershire sauce, which can be an ingredient of gravies as well as bloody Marys.
2. Sounds like you stayed in a bed-and-breakfast for a couple of weeks. A "full" English breakfast would probably be fried bread, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, grilled sausage, but you could add or subtract any of the items.
In England breakfast may start with cereal served with milk and sugar. The main cereals would be cornflakes, Weetabix, rice crispies, and oatmeal porridge.
Eggs can be any style, fried, yes, but also scrambled, poached, omelette, or boiled. Soft boiled eggs with buttered toast and salt are a popular breakfast item in England. New-laid eggs need 6 minutes in boiling water, otherwise 5.
One of the very best English breakfast items is orange or grapefruit marmalade, in which a certain amount of shredded peel is cooked to add a contrasting bitterness to the sweetness. I actually make it here in Florida with red grapefruit and it is even better and totally delicious.
3. Although I do agree that Nescafe instant coffee is not very nice, I disagree about Starbucks, as their coffee is terrible. Fifty years ago in England we used an electric coffee grinder almost identical to the one I used this morning in Florida to grind coffee beans and make percolated coffee served with hot milk for "elevenses" (a mid morning snack) and it was delicious.
Part of the reason that good coffee is/was hard to find in England is that hot tea with milk is the national drink and also provides a certain amount of caffeine, and is cheaper than coffee. Historically coffee was probably grown more in the Spanish and Portuguese empires than the British.
4. I cannot comment much on the "weird yellow" Indian food, but presumably you are referring to dishes that use turmeric, which is yellow and used a lot in Indian cooking. It seems to be becoming a health fad in the US too, as it supposedly has healing qualities.
