Just to let you all know.........it still tastes as fantastic as you all remember them....if you still can remember them.

Are you getting your 5 portions of fruit + veg a day...

And what about the other stuff...

Re: Attention US expats

As far as Curry or Indian food I can leave it or leave it. I must be the only British born person on the planet that doesn't care for "a curry".

Did you have chips with that curry.

Probably one of the reasons I have no interest in moving back to the UK is, there is very little about British food I miss, and if you know the pubs around Ealing/Southall there's not much to miss there.

I wouldn't expect you to agree, it's up to each of us to make our own choices, and if you don't like it here then you are doing the right thing moving back. So we are in complete agreement.

If someone doesn't like the US fine, it's not like anyone is being held prisoner,
unless you're in Gitmo that is.

You're not the only one, my sister is the only one in my family that likes a curry. But a few of my British friends don't like them either so don't worry
