Re: American Foods/Meals That'd Make Brits Jaws Drop
PB&J.... agreed. Americans are obsessed with peanut butter. Not liking the stuff is kind of like being from a lower social class, isn't it?
Gotta tell yer though, last time I ate fish 'n' chips back home I pretty much puked my guts out. It's been way too long....
Frito Pie, anyone? -"But it's still got the bag in it!" -"Why yes, it's Frito Pie."
