Yeah maybe Chipotle (the restaurant).

SultanOfSwing

Mexican for me too. Except my wife can make it and all the ingredients are available in the UK so we'd be golden.

Actually we've joked about opening a Mexican restaurant in Belfast but I personally think it'd make a killing. Way better than Italian, for example, and I love Italian food

I think there is a Chipotle in London now. Charring Cross Road.

I miss American BBQ and decent Vietnamese food. I've also found a wider variety of Chinese food in the US as it seems much of the UK Chinese food is Cantonese (Hong Kong) style.

Sally Redux

Yes you're right, just checked it.

I never needed to have left

CAdreaming

French Toast and half and half cream, drip coffee you pour yourself, costco chicken (better than the costco in the UK cooked chicken)

I'm going to second goldfish, i like the gilbert and extreme mix ones the best

I wouldn't worry - reviews aren't great, and prices are much higher! UK £6.40 for a basic burrito compared to US $6.35 (+tax), or over $10 UK equivalent!

Personally, Philly Cheese Steak. Both the wife and I love cinnamon so Cinnabon has seen our custom on numerous occasions. Proper Cajun food (not the UK interpretation) is also great.

Hmmm I'm still thinking. Where I'm from we had a few decent Mexican restaurants, I can get most of anything in the Uk that I like here, except perhaps good BBQ.

DH has indeed become a fan of that dish as well and he loves his biscuits, Also Philly Cheesesteak- sandwich, omlette doesn't matter.

I would miss New Mexican food a lot. It's just not quite the same anywhere else. A a good green chile stew...nothing better on a winter's day. Not to mention $4 chile relleno burritos the length of my arm, fantastic for a cheap lunch.

I've also grown accustomed to being able to buy grains, trail mix, pulses, and various baking ingredients from bulk bins in most supermarkets, don't know that you can really find that in the UK? Maybe in specialist shops like Holland and Barrett?

Most things fall under guilty pleasure of gross, yet awesome -

Chicken fried Steak or any fried chicken, leave the minging white gravy out of it though

Cornbread

Bloomin' Onion with horseradish sauce

Maine Lobster, roll/chowder/ice cream...anything really

Maine Shrimp...biggest pain in the arse to deal with, but the best thing ever

Maine maple syrup, the real deal, none of that fake crap

Maine wild blueberries, got to be wild, the other stuff is crap, wild are awesome

Popovers, best breakfast thing ever

Pay Day bars...those are fantastic and I could eat them all day till I puke

Home Fries, but only really from the local diner where we used to live, they were superb, best home fries ever

Proper Mexican food, just not burrito's, a rice sarnie roll is just gross...speaking off, Mission opened a branch in Oxford and so did someone else, so it's started a bit of a mini burrito war back home, which is hilarious

Ribs, sticky bbq and hot sauce rubs...so yummy and messy

Definitely Tex-Mex, Cajun, Chicken fried steak, Brisket, fried catfish and any type of shrimp you can imagine. The shrimp here are great and cheap! Moose tracks ice cream and Cold Stone Creamery. I love the food here but then there aren't many foods that I don't like!

kimilseung

Dicks burgers and fries

Triple XXX root beer floats

Breakfasts (I miss Brit breakfast, but I would miss the American version)

Chilli fries (when its done just right, not sure what the secret is yet)

Bush's 'bold & spicy' baked beans

nethead

Oooo thought of one, really good ice-cream and variety of flavours.

SultanOfSwing

Yeah but no Raspberry Ripple

I would miss Heath flavour Klondike bars though now I come to think about it.
