Nope, I dont enjoy turkey, would rather do it with chicken if I had to, but not when I could have roast beef.

We noticed that they also have scrambled eggs for breakfast heaped on a plate with no toast or anything, eat two forkfuls and walk off leaving the rest to scrape into the bin.

Please don't put all 350 million (or so) people here in the same category....We noticed that they also have scrambled eggs for breakfast heaped on a plate with no toast or anything, eat two forkfuls and walk off leaving the rest to scrape into the bin.
Or would you like me to do the same to "Y'all" sir ?
FWIW I just had 4 eggs scrambled, a sausage patty, and 1 slice of rye toast.
I did not "Bin" anything other than the plate afterwards....

When I was in Texas they served me grits
Grits not a treat - not vile - but not Cordon Bleu...
Grits (white corn) with butter an cheese is OK (ish).
Given the choice I prefer Polenta (yellow corn)

It's not that I can't eat it - it is just you need something in it - to give it some taste.
English porridge oats are about the same - nothing to really hate - just bland cheap filling food.
When I was kid - the old American lady down the road when babysitting us - used to feed us Grits with prawns/shrimps in it. Made a big fuss about it - like it was a treat... I ate it - rude not to - when an old lady is feeding you.
It is not too bad with loads of poached eggs on top - let the runny yolks - give it some colour and flavour.

Just going on what we see on TV, I don't believe any real people behave in that way. You can think what you want of me but I don't throw food awayPlease don't put all 350 million (or so) people here in the same category....

So your doubling down on your assertions......somehow justifying your actions......Lovely.Just going on what we see on TV, I don't believe any real people behave in that way. You can think what you want of me but I don't throw food away
Life is too short to waste time on ignorant fools.
On the ignore list you go.

I think pedrobedro was referring to US films and sitcoms where they never seem to finish their food. Similar to our soaps and other series where they leave half finished drinks in the pub or leave half the fry-up breakfast.
We all know it's not the case, but our experience is from TV and films, not real life.
