Re: Top five foods you miss from the UK
In that case, I am going to do another!
Set the scene - a cold, dark, autumn evening, a country pub with a warm open fire.
Lamb chops with garlic mash, greens, TONS of gravy, and then apple crumble and custard to follow.

Re: Top five foods you miss from the UK
A list of 5 foods I will be happy never to see again (they may also end up on a future list of things I miss)
1 Pan of scouse
Less and less common as the years went by, but it still ended up on a plate every now and then.
2 Steak and kidney pie
Always seemed to be the only thing to eat at the footy, spat the kidney out.
3 Black pudding
Scottish cafes seem to always add it to a breakfast no matter how many times you ask it to be omitted.
4 Carvery restaurants
several forms of glob on a plate
5 Savaloy sausages
Not sure how I would find myself eating these things, I never leant.

Scotch eggs
Soda farls
Scampi fries (open a bag, clear a room)
Angel delight

My next five
Angel delight, butterscotch of course
Real crumpets toasted with lots of butter
Kippers or any smoked fish
Orange peel and glace cherries for my fruit cakes. Dried cranberries just arent the same.
Ham off the bone

Re: Top five foods you miss from the UK
No they don't...they're either wet, grey, cold and miserable or they're covered in snow which looks like Santa has had a case of the squids over because of the dirt, or it's a hot place and feels all wrong for winter.
Winter is shit.

Re: Top five foods you miss from the UK
I have this craving for Farley's rusks: I think I must be having some sort of breakdown!
Apart from that I could take the majority of foods that you guys have noted, I remember takeaway from the chippy wrapped up in newspaper, the smell of my Dad walking in the back door with this treat was fantastic.
