It's probably a combination of being in Chicago and your palate having matured.

Everything has gone to the dogs here.
So sorry.

The South = great food (Virginia is just barely in the South)
The North = they eat what?
Seriously, you never see a restaurant with Northern Style cooking.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

There's the Michigan delicacy, pasties. Pronounced with short a like in the past, not like the dancer adornments. Some of the most bland, boring food you'll ever eat. They'll defend it by saying that you need to put ketchup (catsup?) on it. On the plus side, our sausage game is excellent and, supposedly, the hamburger was first made in a small city in Wisconsin[^].

I've never seen a recipe book titled 'Northern Cooking'or'English Cooking'. Could there be a reason?

Except for that Chicago style pizza!
|
|
|
|

Some American cities do certain foods better than others. IIRC Chicago is known for its style of pizza. And Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse is excellent.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Whew! thank goodness I lost most my sense of taste years ago, I eat crappy Chicago food daily, it all tasted the same to me! Woo Hoo!

Well, the way Chicago is pronounced is actually a sentence in Italian and it means "I s*** on it", maybe it is a warning?

And it's famous for pizza.
There was me thinking that putting pineapple on pizza was as bad as it could get ...

Right... because the Brits are famous for their cuisine!
|
|
|
|
|
Of course we are: four-hour boiled cabbage, mushy peas, battered saveloy ... the list is endless.

Uuugghhh... I've been to your little island nation... Shepard's Pie and Fish & Chips are the only 2 palatable meals.

You must have been here in the 19th century. There is lots of international cuisine in the UK.
|
|
|
|
|
International cuisine is available in most civilized nations... I was referring to home grown British Cuisine.
|
|
|
|
|
There is plenty of home grown cuisine that is worth eating. You should come and try it.

They founded an empire so their sons could get away from their mothers cooking!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Shepherd's pie and Cottage pie, yes, good. Black pudding is a must with breakfast. Some good cheeses, too.
Mustn't forget Lancashire hot pot. Similar idea to a pot au feu.

Remind me not to come to your house for dinner!
You should mention Shepherd's Pie, Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips, any British breakfast, Steak and Kidney Pie, proper English sausages, proper English (Danish smoked) bacon, bacon butties, sausage butties.... I have to stop now as I am getting terminally hungry! Dammit, I miss good ol' British food! This American crap that has to be "spicy" and "crispy" and "breaded" is killing me - I want to come home, mummy!!!!

I'm sure that even British food is not what it used to be - they no longer fry chips in lard, the sausages are "emulsified high-fat offal tubes", and some cooks have even been known to use spices other than salt and pepper in their cooking.
