I'd like to try 'proper' fish and chips.
A 'real' cup of tea.
Lutefisk (...I think thats U.K.?)

(Biggest sandwich I could get piled with beef, cheese or whatever the locals pile on)

Then I want to have a few pints, sing out of tune, and get into a fistfight with an Irishman.

As an American who lived in Glasgow for a year I can say that I fucking loved the food you guys have over there.

Irn Bru is just god's miracle cure for hangovers and is tasty, kind of bubble-gummy Jones soda-like. Haggis is surprisingly tasty, I had it with brown gravy and chicken breasts, as well as neeps and tatties. It's got a nice, spicy taste (spicy as in heavily spiced, not heat). However, nothing beats Scottish breakfasts. Lorne sausage on a fresh roll with ketchup, heinz beans and some tomato holy fuck me. Black pudding is incredible as well, just covered in brown sauce.

By the way, brown sauce is revelation. I had never heard of it before going there, but now my eggs seem naked without any. For those of you who have never had it, try to imagine ketchup (same consistency, similar tang on your tongue) but more smokiness and vinegar, i think.

Munchy boxes were a godsend to the drinkers among us, too.

I'd say a proper English breakfast, but I'm not entirely sure if blood sausage is actually really good. I mean, blood in and of itself tends to have a copper taste to it. Something that's just fried coagulated animal blood sounds like it would taste kind of like that.

here,

I agree with what >>4202974 said, it's not at all irony. I sliced mine into discs and pan fried them, had them with toast and eggs. The flavor borders between savory and sweet, rich like chocolate, with not so bold a spiced flavor as American breakfast sausages.

The texture is pleasing... when you pan fry it, you put some moisture back into it while crisping the outside; It's mainly got stuff like oats and barley in it, so once you get past the sauteed crust it's got a chewy, melty kinda feel to it.

We have two kinds, back bacon and "streaky bacon"

streaky bacon is your norm american bacon, but its commonly used as an ingredient in meals over here for its fat content

back bacon is the norm bacon, which has less fat and more meat than streaky, and is the commonly used of the two

It's called cellar temperature.

You could opt for something more mainstream from one of the big multinational breweries if you wanted something closer to home. They'll be more like what you're used to. Carlsberg, Fosters etc. People that don't care about beer just tend to drink those. They're chilled right down and carbonated .

The reason they're super chilled by the way, is to hide the terribad taste. You can't taste how bad it is when it's cold. Go ahead and taste your generic mass produced lager when it's started to warm a little. Tastes like shit. Proper beer you don't need to hide the awful taste by making it fizzy and super cold.

I've been reliably informed that you do have similar beer in the US. Actually it was several arguments. "We do make good beer too you know"

I want to try the British pasties. I am from Upper Michigan and we have our own paties brought over by Cornish miners. It seems that we have deviated quite a lot from the pasties eaten in cornwall and it is also my understanding that pasties are the British burgers. Fastfood places dedicated to them. I have seen some interesting versions like steak/English breakfast/lobster/spicy bean/roast turkey and trimmings/etc. They sound heavenly.

I always wanted to try what Americans consider to be sausages. In all media they don't give them names they just call them "sausage", "Italian sausage" and "spicy sausage". From the way they don't say some "sausages" or "a sausage" and they don't ever seem to have different names (Cumberland, Lincolnshire, chippolatas etc) it always sounded like they were describing some sort of salami as opposed to a type of sausage.

If we're talking about actual physical items, then it's sausages. If we're talking a broad encompassing term, then it is sausage.

Anyway, usually it's a broad category (like italian, polish, breakfast, etc), but specific variations are usually noted as being from somewhere or some company.

Example: Johnsonville brats.

You have never been to a Greggs? They sell full English pasties. As for lobster ones I have been to Rick Stines Cornish supermarket thing and they sold Lobster, crab, stilton and steak, loads of them. Then there's Philps pasties which sell loads of different types, I loved to have a lamb mint pasty or a chicken tikka pastie and a banana chocolate one or trifle pastie for dessert. Greggs are the closest we have to a McDonalds of our own so I don't know how you haven't seen different types.

True American cheeses aren't known for their strong flavor. We make mostly mild cheeses; our pungent cheeses are mostly international in origin but of fairly high quality.

Wisconsin and the rest of the midwest, California, and the Pacific Northwest are all quite good cheese regions. You could try a nice Californian pepper jack if you're interested in something to use with meat dishes and sandwiches.

That's weird. I didn't think anyone in the U.S. has never heard of eating crab.

Crab season here in the SF Bay Area starts in October/November, and my family often has it on our Thanksgiving menu along with turkey and the other standards.

Speaking of which, I highly recommend a full Thanksgiving turkey dinner to our British friends. I'm sure you guys have your own versions of stuffed bird dinners, but no other traditional meal in the U.S. is as iconic as a turkey dinner, fully dressed with all the sides.

This thread was a shocking reminder that outside of blood cake, I can't think of a single food that's British. Yeah, fish n chips, shepherd's pie and all that. But those are found all over the US. There's nothing unique about those in my mind. Cooked blood is definitely not something mainstream in the US, though. I can't say I want to try it, but since it's the only thing I know to be foreign...

Any other examples of purely British food that doesn't have a doppelganger in the US, or isn't something I could easily replicate using common ingredients we already have in the US?

You can gets canned beans without pork here, but "baked beans" here generally implies the sweet variety with pork. However the Heinz beans that are ubiquitous in the U.K. aren't popular here at all. Canned chili con carne is a far more popular means of consuming beans here.

And canned spaghetti is always wrong, unless you're really craving its weird flavor or you have no alternatives. It's unhealthy kids' food.

There is a great variety in the local BBQ traditions depending on region. Preferred meats, spices, and cooking methods can be completely different just across state lines. There's even a preference for sauced vs.dry-rubbed BBQ in lots of places.

In states without a long-standing BBQ tradition, it's normal to find restaurants that have most of the basic varieties available in one place, like St. Louis or Kansas City ribs, Texas beef brisket, Carolina pulled pork, etc.

I recommend them all, though Carolina style BBQ with vinegar can be a bit strong for my taste.

It sells the standard stuff like bread, sandwiches, pies, pasties, sausage rolls, bacon/sausage butties, cakes and biscuits, soups that sort of hand held, cheap, filling and tasty stuff. The other sort of fast food place would be the chippy, curry houses and kebab shops but they are not chains but independant. We have McDonalds, KFC, Burger king, Dominos and pizza hut for the American imports that dominate everything else.

We in the U.S. don't eat much of it, and it's always interesting to hear how commonly it's eaten elsewhere.

I think a lot of people here think it's too greasy, but that might be a sign that they're eating meat from sheep that were raised for their wool and therefore has more lanolin in it.

Nope. It's not a common food, but certainly not ethnic or overpriced. Lamb chops were popular way back when, but you just don't see them much anymore. It is common in indian food tho.

American with some strong ties to Britain (Scottish and English relatives). Loved the food from London to Edinburgh (surprisingly amazing Italian food in Scotland).

I love British food, and it feels amazing to have a fucking awesome pub a few blocks away. Proper Shepard's pie, fish 'n chips, upgraded filet & "American style" chips (think 5 Guys), Scotch eggs, curries, toad in the hole, even desserts like trifle, etc. etc. etc. and a happy hour where every import draft is $3.

Feels fucking great man. God Bless the USA and God Save the Queen.

We've started to get quite good quality american bbq style restaurants over here fairly recently. The one near me (Leeds) does stuff like brisket and pulled pork and they've got a good selection of "authentic" bbq sauces named stuff like "carolina" or "kansas city" (pic related_ that don't taste like anything i've ever had before, they're more mustardy and vinegary but still quite sweet. Are "Kansas City" and "Carolina" bbq sauces an actual thing or just some bullshit we've made up to sound authentic? I guess i'd like to try authentic American bbq styles to see how our imitations compare.

Also, is mac and cheese a common side dish? The place i'm talking about has it as one and i was a bit weirded out by it. Like, you're getting a huge plate of meat, fries, then pasta as a side dish?

Yep, they're authentic. North Carolina is mostly vinegar and some red pepper. South Carolina and north Georgia have different types of mustard sauces, pretty damn good. Tennessee and Kansas City are typically sweeter, use more molasses and sugar. Texas is usually vinegar, red pepper and a bunch of chili peppers; hot and smoky.

Barbecue is a pretty wonderful regional cuisine here in the South (and Southwest if you count Texas).

Pulled pork and beef brisket for the win.

"Bella Italia" is the UK equivalent of Olive Garden
"Chiquito's" is Mexican (poor compared to real Mexican, but the closest we have)
"Greggs" is pastries, sandwiches, meat pies, sausage rolls etc.
"Pret A Manger" is similar to Starbucks, but more focus on food.
"EAT." Sandwiches and soups mainly.
"Toby Carvery" is roast potatoes, vegetables, freshly carved meats, gravy etc.
"Nando's" is a Portuguese style chicken restaurant.
"Costa Coffee" is Starbucks' direct competitor in the UK. (see pic)

The menu had meat/pork pies, spaghetti on toast, UK style hot chocolate, load of other stuff I can't remember. There's also a small British-themed gift shop inside that sells orange squash and some other snack foods.

I hate to correct a brit but I suppose telling the world their problems is something we do quite well....you left out pizza express, unless of course you think it doesn't qualify as a "big chain"

I think it could compare to a more civilized version of California pizza kitchen here in murica. Compared to the slop house pizza hutt buffet for 5 quid, that was like fine food.

Kebab must be removed.

Anyway, personally speaking, I wish blood oranges were more common here and then I wish they were more reasonably priced

Well probably not anymore after everyone's assholes puckered about CJD. But from what I heard from older english people eating bovine brains was not rare but fairly uncommon. I'm willing to try some of the more uncommon English foods. Just not brains.

Eating offal was common everywhere (including America) until the more modern practice of grinding it up and turning it into mass produced fast food became popular.

>>	Anonymous Sat Feb 2 18:26:30 2013 No.4205145 >>4205131 This guy has pretty much nailed it, though the one thing I can think of that looks a little like brains that is still eaten in a lot of countries would be sweet breads, especially lamb ones.

The fuck? I could understand the tongue because supermarket offal sections usually have one tongue on display, supposed to be great meat if prepared properly but it is so rare to eat, I have never known anyone in my life to try it. Brains though, dafuq?
