yorkshire pudding
black pudding
yorkshire tart
marmite
dandilian and burdock
faggots (food)
rubarb

eggy bread

no fiosh here.

ooops

fish n chips

They do have spellcheck, I think.

I knew a Yorkshire tart once. Eee, she were' right goer.

as basal brush says....

boom boom

burdock, eggy bread and black pudding might not be easy but any reasonable sized city has an english food store

I was told chocolate in the USA is different to that in the UK.

In the UK you can get these 'beans' which are amazing.

I think they are from the USA.

They are expensive though.

Are they expensive in the USA.

They are the most amazing sweets I have ever had.

chocolate digestives? we have exlax, its a chocolate flavored laxative thats fun to make brownies out of and take to parties

rice pudding - yes we have that, although its not very common

fish n chips - yeah, its one of my favorites, especially with some malt vinegar

pot noodle or yorkshire pudding - never heard of it. Same for black pudding, yorkshire tart, marmite, dandilian and burdock (wtf?) or a food called "faggots"

rubarb - I've seen it somewhere, so yes

black berries - they grow wild all over the southern states and can be found in the frozen section at just about any grocery store

eggy bread - we have "egg bread" in the bread section at most grocery stores

i think you call eggy bread - french toast.

dandelion and burdock is a drnk. Its better that coca cola. Its heaven.

chocolate digestives-Yes, McVitie's at the local grocery
rice pudding-yes
pot noodel-yes, not the same brand, but very similar
fiosh n chips-yes
yorkshire pudding-yes, but I haven't had it since my mother made it

black pudding-We can get it some places
yorkshire tart-not so much
marmite- decent grocery has it
dandilian and burdock
faggots (food) not really
rubarb-Almost any Grocery
black berries- Same
eggy bread-it is called French Toast here

of cause they'll have eggy bread, they have bread and they have eggs so they'll have eggy bread! :D

Chocolate digestive biscuits are the most popular biscuit in the uk.

Faggot - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)

You sure? i would have thought the plain ones or even Rich Tea would have been top.

it was on the news a few days ago.

i think its somthing to do with the reseshion.

i could be wrong.

but if i am, it will be the first time in my life.

yes for 99 percent of those but under different names.

i tell you what i do not see in the uk is southern type usa food such as grits or whatver its called. the food you see them eat down south on tv and films set in the usa.

i would love to try corn bread that i saw on a prison film.

Digestives are quite common now. Plain dark and milk chocolate. Rice pudding you can make but it isn't the same as back home. Yorkshire pudding isn't common and no one that isn't English makes them too well. Some people compare them to popovers here.

can you get root beer in the uk.

snoopy always drinks it so i would love to taste it.

i wouldn't want any of that

I can get all of that in two dedicated isles at my grocery store.

thats fuckin hilarious

You forgot Branston pickle.

I thought Rhubarb was a Yorkshire thing.

Maybe we don't have some of the things you guys back in the UK have, but we have miles and miles of naturally occurring socks, always ripe for the picking!...

We have awesome fish and chips, I love em! ;)

Root beer is good. Here's a link I found on places to find it in the UK:

prepare to be addicted...

buy it online most places.

please bump this thread after it arrives and you try it. It is very inexpensive, so think about ordering a dozen or so boxes. They are small boxes.

that's what I use for cornbread too. It's yummy with either honey or maple syrup on it.

Yep you can get almost all of that from the British stores In San Diego or Florida and i suspect in other states as well. Plus Hob Nobs, Jaffa Cakes, Mars Bars, Irish or New Zealand Back Bacon, TCP, Pork Pies, etc etc etc. Plus most of it is available online. There are some things i don't seem to be able to get like a Pie they used to sell made of veal with an egg in it called aptly enough veal and egg pie. Its also impossible to get a good curry here. Its all dumbed down for the America Palate.

Would you believe that I was unable to get malt vinegar in Ireland with my fish and chips? They offered me white vinegar. Acted like they had never heard of such a thing. I was a little miffed.


And I love rhubarb. That was probably my favorite dessert as a kid. Now days, places like Marie Marie Callenders add strawberries to the rhubarb.

I don't care for chocolate digestives / tea biscuits. I buy the plain, Mc Vitties digestives usually. When I can't find those Nabisco makes "Social Tea" biscuits which are pretty good.

As other have said, we have most of these items in the US. Most avail at supermarkets not even specialty stores.

F-U-Jimmy, don't forget Malteezers.

Grits is just coarsely ground up corn or hominy. It tastes like chunky water, unless you put something in it to give it flavor like butter and brown sugar.

Its really overrated.

beans ???

Thats just insane. Kind of like when I asked for ketchup for my fries in Ontario and they asked me what I was "talking aboot" and they gave me little packets of vinegar.

Wasnt too bad actually, but even then malt vinegar would have been better.

you talking about these ?

http://www.americansweets.co.uk/ekmp...bag-1932-p.jpg

that is wierd , they should have offered you gravy or poutine..

did you say "katsup" or "ketchup" ?

these are those beans:

http://www.jellybeanfactory.com/

Gourmet Jelly Beans

i am sure these are from the usa.

if you have not. do try them. they will blow your mind.

http://www.britstore.co.uk/photos/Th...Beans_900g.jpg

Poutine is fucking amazing. Wish they sold it in the states.

And I say ketchup just like I type ketchup :)

Heh, yeah man, we have jellybeans here. They've been around forever but Ronald Reagan made the gourmet jellybeans famous.

even in the uk, depeding where you are you get diffent things.

so its common in the south of england to cook fish and chips in vegitable oil. but north they tend to cook with animal oil.

in the north they tend to ask for gravey or curry with fish and chips, also mushy peas is common with them.

some fish and chip shops will fry sweets such as mars bars. some even will fry you a pizza (gross).

some will also give you scraps. these tend to be broken batter from the fish.

a few years ago if you got fish and chips it would be wrapped in newspaper. but sadly due to health and safty its served in nasty plastic boxes.

a lot of fish and chip shops have closed as they are so expensive. the price of fish is insane. a few years ago fish and chips (a fish supper as the scotish call it) cost under £2. But now its over £5.

Curry is now the most popular fast food.

I remember mcdonalds starting in the uk. it was the place to be seen, but these dsays its lost its lure, but still popular. though subways seems to be now the big place.

i think in the uk we have most (not all) usa fast food places and coffee shops.

one thing i was told is that while baked beans are i belive american,m they are not as popular in the usa as they are in the uk.

i think most people buy baked beans in the uk, and they are probably the most comman thing eaten. they are almost a traditional thing to eat.

yet, i was told they are not as common.

what are the most popular salty snacks there? flavours?

are they expensive?

they are in the uk. but thay are so worth it.

i still cannot belive how great they are.

i think if i was going to die those are the last things i would want to eat.

yum yum yum

in the uk its crisps (what you call chips).

you can get all sorts.

a lot like salf and vinigar flavour.

ready salted peanuts are popular too.

also in the uk, chocolate i think is far far far more popular than you have in the usa. but its a lot different to what you get. that was sort of made famouse in the simpsons eppisode when they come to the uk, and buzz out on uk sweets.
