OK, We all know how great the stuff is back home that you can't buy here (proper baked beans, ginger wine, vimto, malt vinegar, decent tea bags, battenburg cake etc etc )
But . . . what American foods have you fallen in love with that you can't get back home?
Mine are:
Corn Dogs
Pecan pie
Mr. Gatti's Pizza
Shiner Bock beer
Authentic Mexican fajitas
Brisket
Egg Nog at Christmas
Sweet potato casserole
Have to watch the waistline !!!!

Beef jerky.
White cheddar popcorn.
Minute Maid frozen lemonade.
Lemonade in general, especially the ones with the flavour shots (limeade too).
Mountain Dew.
Peach soda.
Biscuits & gravy.
Country-fried steak.
Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce.
I'm going to die early, aren't I? I do eat healthy things as well, honest. Occasionally.

Cajun food - yummy
Oh - if anyone is pinning for a decent curry I discovered a VERY nice curry house in DC - close to the Whitehouse. Bombay Club it is called, relatively reasonable, good atmosphere and EXCELLENT service and food.
It was soo good to have a good curry even if I had to fly 2600 miles to get it! I am so relieved - you CAN get good Indian food in the US!!
I'm going back this month for more..lol

I felt it my moral obligation to get the word out to all British Expats salivating for a decent curry
