OMG!!
I wish I hadnt asked now.... :scared:
I have to say, I have found since arriving back home in Oz I am eating far less stodge, compared to the UK.
I eat a lot more salads and fruit & Veg..the fruit here is so much better than anything I had in the UK. Grilled fish, as opposed to that greasy stuff in the UK, Roast chicken instead of "American Styled Fried Chicken"...
I have started cooking at home alot more than I ever really wanted to in the UK....
This is all just the differences I have noticed in my little world, and I in no way suggest that its the norm....
