Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

During our essentially fruitless search for "real" bacon within a 200 mile radius of our house, we've come across an uncured version of Oscar Mayer bacon that my OH says is much more palatable than...

Re: Tips, tips, tips

Who cares? You aren't going back for a second dose of crappy service, are you? Any place where we feel a minimum tip is due definitely gets crossed off the list. We normally tip more than the...

Re: Dear America... | David Mitchell's SoapBox

Gee, if that's all we have to do to gain the respect of you Brits, I should think we could handle that! I've been browbeaten into saying Herbs by my resident Brit, but it still feels alien on my...

Re: Classic Brit Films

Re: Classic Brit Films

Wow! :confused: That's a point of view I wasn't expecting! Hadn't even thought! Since my OH comes from a long line of dockers, and he was the one who was so eager for me to see it, I figured it was...

Re: Classic Brit Films

Re: Classic Brit Films

If you decide to try "A Matter of Life and Death", need to look for the alternative (American) title - "Stairway to Heaven". Why it was changed, I can't imagine. If you could find it, I'd recommend...

Re: Do Americans Know What Chicken Tastes Like?

So how does Brazilian differ from Mexican? :blink: Neither OH nor I can tolerate the jalapeno's, cayenne and other hot seasonings, but we're looking for something "different"! :)

Re: Do Americans Know What Chicken Tastes Like?

No, it's the other way round - Sam's chickens are better than Costco's. :o

Re: Do Americans Know What Chicken Tastes Like?

My ex-pat prefers Costco roasted chickens to Sam's - different spices, I think, and more flavourful. Costco veggies seem fresher than Sam's, though Costco prices sometimes are a tad higher. We shop...

Re: Do Americans Know What Chicken Tastes Like?

Good idea! Wish more than just Aldi would do this. Their charge is only 25 cents and I have yet to see a trolley in the parking lot. :thumbsup:

Re: I have just been legally mugged in Publix super market

There's a new RD opening in Nashville, reportedly on the 1st of Feb.! Shame we aren't in the food or non-profit business so we'd qualify for membership. From the website, looks really interesting,...

Re: I have just been legally mugged in Publix super market

Yes, we ARE bothered by what's going on around us!!! I, for one, just don't know what to do about it. The only thing I know to do is to shop each of the stores only for their reasonably priced...
