Just an observation - not a criticism, before I get jumped all over - I do find that the equivalent version of say for example a Chinese dish here may be slightly different to the one you have experienced in Britain.
I had the same experience in Australia too - not necessarily better or worse but different to what you were used to. After 6+ years in Aus I am kinda missing the Australian/Chinese chicken curry due to the large amount of veggies they pile in there.
Originally I wasn't keen but now I love curried broccoli. Yummmm. Chinese I have tried over here so far don't seem to do that. May have to add some in myself.

Getting Canadian channels in Mexico is a posibility depending on how eccentric the orbit of the broadcasting satellites is ,

Apparently he never ever ate anything other than British food when he was there (must have been a bit limiting to say the least!
). And now he is in Canada is proposing people here should not be missing anything British (or non-Canadian) and live on Canadian food only.
Sounds like a dinner party at his house would be a real blast!

Cheese and potato perogies with peas and ketchup on the side - that has been a new meal for us over here.

From memory, timing and temperature are the key.
As a first attempt, I will cook for two people. I am looking at:
Roast beef
Individual Yorkshire puddings
Roast potatoes
Gravy
Roast parsnips
Probably some carrots
Peas (or sprouts) for the colour
I have absolutely no idea how to go about this and I will take any help I can get. One of you out there must know how to do this and the idea is in my head now, so a roast will be done.
Hopefully it is a messy and time-consuming process. Souvette has nicked all my clean and quick recipes, so I'm left with my mussels in cream/wine (too messy for her). I need something new.
