I think the US version is All Bran http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/Pro...oduct=557&cat=

They make a few bran flake cereals.

I like their Raisin Bran Crunch. Delish.

I've had the same problem going the other direction.. "sultanas? WTH??"
PROOF they are the same food item!

It never fails. The "British food" threads ALWAYS make me resort to Google.

Glasswort... sounds delish!

Re: Foods not mentioned

I have a friend who was originally from "up north" who visited me a while back, and we went for a walk at the bay. She got all excited seeing this weed there, pulled some up so we could take it home and cook it!! It was samphire. I didn't eat any but she loved it.
