I’d go with “confiscated and held for forensic analysis”. Even if he thinks he’s deleted incriminating evidence, it’s amazing what we can recover nowadays…

“Soy beans fell 50% from 2012 to my election.”

Yes, of course Don da Con used the highest price soybeans were at in the last decade (credit Obama for $15 in 2012, right?), despite price being relatively flat since 2015 at $10. With China soybean tariffs, expect small US soybean farms to go belly up. MAGA.

(this guy has a lot of balls claiming non-success for farmers who will eventually suffer)

gawd know the GBBS has a long line up of amateurs trying and sometime succeeding at copying what they turn out.

Count the Michelin stars and get back to us on that one. Britain has as many as the US and the US is five times the size.

Look, it’s a cooking show. If they don’t make things look good they don’t have a show. You can go to the cheapest, nastiest Chinese restaurant and the stuff in the pictures above the counter will look good because that’s the job of the photographer and food stylist and the whole team making the images. The stuff you buy and take home will not. Furthermore I did a Dickensian Christmas once. Had goose, figgy pudding, all that. And it sat like a cannonball in my stomach and I had no appetite for three days afterward.

Oh, and one more thing.

Marmite.

The prosecution rests, your honor.

Great points…and, even IF the farmers get a reprieve somehow (unlikely) later this year, the damage has been done with the harvest season having passed… bankruptcies will occur and bank loan defaults will devastate many farmers…good luck with that.

Look, we’re all half-kidding but the question is the international popularity of British food. Not whether the islands have good restaurants in them. Check the third column:

The one gent on far left certainly wasn’t happy…quite glaring the whole time.
Dude straight across from Trump is the head, I believe of EU, so he had to act like he cared…what an absolute disgrace of a human being T is…I hope EU stands up to Trump.

I think that everyone in the room (other than the Americans) should have started laughing hysterically, pounding the table, and gleefully yelling “Controlled by Russia!!” “Controlled by Russia!!!” followed by more hysterical laughter, followed by more pounding of the table, followed by more gleeful yelling…

@mattinpa-we should include this scene in our script.

You know how you can really tell? As you said - go to London. Best Indian food anywhere not India. Great American restaurants. Excellent Chinese & Vietnamese. Good Italian. British? Ha! Fish & Chips? Sure, consistently OK everywhere, but I dare you to find one good dinner restaurant besides Simpsons (on the Strand) which even your British friends will tell you is a right of passage and not to be confused with a culinary experience. This is all besides the point though, the benchmark is a country’s bread, and the Brits…sorry.

Oh yeah. Good stuff.

I went to a well-known pub on the way to the Dover area that Henry V had stopped at so we said sure, that’s kind of cool, and they had the shepherd’s pie and all that stuff. It’s OK. But it’s the culinary equivalent of our meat loaf, say, or mashed potatoes—pretty drab and nothing you can take to any kind of culinary heights. It’s filling peasant food and that’s all it’s ever going to be.

Watching the two professional bakers create their confections in mostly real time as they describe the ingredients, the amounts, baking time, etc., is what has me in awe. The stuff on display is stuff they prepared on their shows over the months (these were Christmas offerings obviously), and seeing is believing.
