I laughed at your comment about bad pizza in New York being better than pizza anywhere else. Not that I care but I take it you're from the US and have never tried pizza in Australia, particularly Melbourne. Well I have tried pizza in New York City and it was singlehandedly the worst meal I ever had. Definitely the worst pizza anywhere in the world - I can't even describe it without wanting to throw up. I tried pizza at seven different joints - all the same. I also had a vendor hotdog - not because I thought it would taste good, just for the experience. It was terrible - the worst hotdog I have ever had.
Yes I'm in the US, New York. I looked up images for Australian pizza. I've seen it made like that in other states and didn't like it (except one place in Atlanta). When I said better pizza than anywhere I meant in the US, although people in Chicago disagree...too. Never eat those hot dogs. We call them dirty water dogs. I won't eat a hog unless it's grilled, and that's rarely ever. I've never had anything in the city that was better than on Long Island. (Rays famous pizza wasn't bad).
A big clue if you'll like the food....taste the water. Maybe I could get an Australian pizza shipped here? And a glass of water! ๐
Next time you come I'm sure you'll like this one.....
Oh, that's a silly comment you made. First of all, you can't "look up" what something tastes like and Second, every restaurant in Australia makes their pizzas a different way. There are no set guidelines, no national recipe one has to follow, LOL!
The fresh, spring water in Australia is first rate. Even the tap water is drinkable - *fingers crossed* but I don't think our tap water here is recycled sewerage as it is in London... What about the USA?
I never made it to Chicago but would have liked to try their food. I always would have liked to visit Philadelphia for their famous steak and cheese sandwiches - YUM!
Having said that I still prefer Australian food. But the service is better in American restuarants because they rely on tips.
I didn't have one good meal in New York City, which only added to my dislike of the city in general. LA may be full of fake people but in New York, they're just plain rude. You can't imagine the fights between passengers I saw on the subway trains - mainly between poor black passengers and middle-class white ones. It was very unpleasant. Although I did like climbing the Statue of Liberty and writing my name inside the crown. Is it true they now don't allow people to climb the statue after September 11 - or is it a structural thing? Or are the rumours false and people can still climb up inside? I took some pictures as I climbed the spiral staircase inside - I was right behind three morbidly obese black women and they were hysterical and kept me entertained for the two hour shuffle up the stairs. I borrowed their pen to write my name ๐ The skin of the statue itself seemed very flimsy, not solid at all, I was really surprised.
I won't ever visit America again - three trips is enough but I enjoyed seeing all the sights. However the people in general were unpleasant. Today, Australians are just as bad - only our food is better ๐
