I've traveled fairly extensively, and I can honestly say, Alberta(Canada) AAA beef is the best I've tasted. It is delicious

I've had a few good steaks in Montana/Washington as well.

But honestly I wouldnt prop it up on a pedestal to much, or you will just be disappointed. You might get sick of cold ass winters In Canada and the Northern US pretty quick. (its like 8-9 months a year in Calgary)

Also, it isn't 35 degrees there.


It's been 35-37 Celsius for the last few days over the entire southeastern United States. JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE

We do have a lot of food though and it is very convenient to buy.

Yes, there is very cheap meats that lack flavor but are still wholesome. The whole genetically modified vegetable part is bunk- the tomatoes I buy at Publix are as good as the ones I grow at home in my garden. Certainly you could find cheap, flavorless vegetables and fruits as you could find cheap flavorless meat. However it isn't expensive to buy good tasting food either.

Seriously, the post I quoted is like 70% conspiracy theory.

This is funny. I absolutely hate western meat and view it as having very little taste. Meanwhile, I fucking love eastern meat and pretty much everything else from Asian cultures.
Maybe we should switch lives. No one ever has to know.

Tomatoes can't be genetically modified after they are already tomatoes. The seeds you are planting are modified too.

I'm sorry that you disagree with me because what I said was "70% conspiracy theory."

I'll gladly swap places with you as a long time New Yorker, love the food courts and mix in Singapore.

edit: New Yorker as in NYC =)

Dude, the west might have better quality meats, but the sauces and seasoning is really bad compared to asia and the rest of the world. If I were u, I'd just travel around a bit and not be so dramatic as to go to college for years there

If you come to college in the USA, go to college in the south or california. the atmosphere of grilling/ food related get togethers is really great. often groups of friends have BBQ's and in general just get together eat and drink and have a good time.

You gotta be kidding me. Sg food is the best, hands down. If you're looking for those kinds of food, there's many cafes and restaurants that serve them.

I've been in the US (north carolina) for a year. The most common types of food are burgers, pizza and fried chicken. Obviously there's a greater variety than that, but you can find even more in sg. Food portions are larger, but also more expensive.

Trust me. When you leave sg, you'll be craving the food. If you ever go to Singapore Day, you'll feel it.

You might as well go to Spain or France, where the food is much better lol. Why the US.............


He's young. He will learn.

Also food posted in OP is way out of league for a typical american. I dont know where you went to in NZ but they sure treated you nice (given how much of a brat you are )

Come to University of Toronto. World class education in a world class city. It's located next to a few ethnic enclaves and many are within walking distance. You can have your western and, when and if you ever get homesick, you can walk 5 minutes to Chinatown just south of the campus and eat all the Chinese food you want. If you're really into SC and as a result, really like Korean culture, there's a large and growing Korean population so there's lots of Korean food here too.

Yeah here's the thing. This whole "Oh my food has been modified so it must be horrible for me and/or taste terrible!" is only on Fox News fluff pieces and on the internet. If I'm wrong then I'm living blissfully and I will continue to live blissfully. We have great food. I'm absolutely convinced that those that disagree are propagating nonsense they read somewhere and not speaking from experience.

I live in the South. We have a lot of farmers markets and, yes, unmodified vegetable strains if that's your thing. But as it turns out, just like free range chicken or all natural blahblah, it is just another label that gets slapped on to convince you to buy a certain product over a competitors. Think what you want, my taste buds will not suffer.

You should check out Vancouver. Great food from all over the world, super pretty, super safe, more temperate than the rest of Canada, and we have great public transit.

I'm moving to the west to attend grad school and one of the first things I did when looking up the city my school was in was making sure it had a good asian grocery- I honestly don't think I'd be able to get by without one. I'm also going grocery shopping for those instant food seasoning mixes and soup bases that I can bring abroad and use one by one when I'm really homesick. Really excited for grad school overall of course, but the food is definitely not one of the reasons.

The vibe I'm getting from the naysayers are -

"Dude, the grass is always greener on the other side. The East is so much better". - Westerners.
