My American Girlfriend did the best thing in the world ... ever ... last christmas

It was my first xmas away from family, and she had managed to pull together the full recipe for a sunday roast ... yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, veggies, gravy (ahhh, bisto!).

It was the best christmas gift

Since then, I've introduced her to the joys of deep fat frying chips (she still won't use the fryer though), gravy on everything that stands still long enough and flavoured crisps

Just goes to show that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach

branston pickle and cheese sarnies...lovely, yet they think it's weird...but nothing wrong with using a big slug of a pickle *l*

oh, and cheese toasties...hardly ever see a decent one, all fried...hmmm...they certainly lack the student meals over here don't they

Hell yes!

You can find one here... just like grandma used to make.

She is probably fine about having scambled eggs, bacon, saugage (well thats what they call it anyway) and beans all on the same plate along with pan cakes and maple syrup right... gotta say that one grosses me out big time.

Talking about english food... while I was over there a couple of weeks back I brought a bunch of Caramac chocolate back... I hadn't had that in years.

Cool site. Thanks for the link.

Woo hoo! Thanks

I'll second that, I love me grub I do!

Especially if you push the carving knife in real hard ?

You will never find a genuine haggis in the US because the FDA has some problems with offal-based ingredients. However, you can get a haggis-making kit from some company in Canada, which I did, and it turned out just like the real thing. Of course, trying to get my American pals to eat it was another battle, but I think I've converted a few of them!

Way back when, my sons girlfriend was watching him eating chips, egg, beans and sausage. She said to him "how come you are eating a plate of side orders"? The girl had no taste, thank God he did not marry her.

Mac(aroni) and cheese is considered a vegetable and side dish in my neck of the woods (N. Carolina). I rest my case

I still haven't forced myself to eat any at any restaurant yet. I'd eat scrapple, pigs trotters or pigs ears before the beloved "mac and cheese".

Maybe the macaroni and cheese would actually be good if there was a decent cheese here that you could make it with?

Which US sausages do you guys get for the proper fry up ?

Those Jimmy Dean ones are just so tiny compared to the big fat juicy English ones !

I miss having a decent curry house nearby. Fri night take out curry was always a treat back in UK.....
