Well, in a truly British manner it HAS to be Fish & Chips, simply because they are VERY scarce here in the USA. I also miss a good curry though. Can't beat it: vegetable or prawn dhansak, pilau rice and a peshwari naan. Also a BIG fan of butter chicken. *drools*

We should have a drooly emoticon!

Drink wise? I rarely drink alcohol, when I do it tends to be wine which I can get over here. Otherwise it is soft drinks which are plentiful over here too!

mags....I have re-created fish and chips..it is pretty darn close. We even had a big fish and chips night last time Chris was here! To be honest...as many times as I've gone over to England in the past 3 years I've not had a curry..Had a thai curry but and plenty of naan bread. But no indian. Not since I was 13. I will....in Feb. I promise

I love a good pint at the pub. I don't miss any drinks really. I like my drinks super cold, Chris family always keeps my Lemonade in the fridge for me...not typical for them!

I miss Fish and Chips, too. I think Mark and I's first meal together was Fish and Chips down in Brighton.

Hee, I work in an office with another Brit and an American who spent their teens in Australia. So we talk about British foods a lot.

I think Fish and Chips will be the first thing I eat when I go back to the UK and I'll also have to get a good curry at some point, too.

My vegetarian hubby misses full English breakfast, vegetarian version, and proper Yorkshire puddings.

Me? Malteasers and a good cider.

Ooh, a fry up. Mmmm. At least you can kind of emulate that. Although I did use a homepride sauce the other week to make a nice Korma.

chips with mushy peas lol well it's up there, but I really gotta think more about it...

I LOVE curry and chips from the chinese...or cheesy chips with garlic.....and I LOVE me a great Indian meal. And don't laugh but my fave all time drunken food is beans on toast with cheese...

and I love fried parsnips...and a Sunday dinner! HATED the full English...don't get me started!

Fave drinkie that I miss is that a Smir Ice here is a malt bevvy and there it's with Vodka. Love me a turbo shandy!

omG I am so effing hungry

and cornish pasties! I forgot pasties...

Actually on second thought, the bevvy I miss the most is the Jersey & Guernsey milk from Tescos. You know the one where you open the bottle and there's a teensey bit of cream on the top? ommmmmmmmmmmmmG

Can someone explain to me why curry is such a big thing in England? I haven't been there yet but I've heard alot about how everyone loves curry. I don't understand the connection.

Erm, at a guess I would say it's quite pop over there based on the fact that there's a big Indian community there. Kinda like being able to get really great Cuban food in Miami, yanno?

That's my speculative guess

and I was remiss in not saying a big YAY! for such a great thread...cheers Ajames!

Am I limited to just one?

ANYthing chocolate, preferably Galaxy. Fish and chips, Yorkshire pudding are both particularly tasty. Wish we had something like Ribena here too.

Their damn loaf bread is even better than ours. I about gorged myself on toast. Oooh and the bacon - its not that streaky ####### like we get here - its 'back' bacon. Yum yum!

BTW currys gross me out. I don't like 'weird' foods anyway (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, all that ####### grosses me out. I'm surprised I like Mexican and Italian!) but curry is particularly gross. Oddly, that's the one thing Chas thinks he's really going to miss when he moves here.

Fish and Chips with mayo (dip your chips in mayo) hmmm chocolate has to be Cadbury's Flake, and the best chinese is in Farnham OMG they do a wicked chicken curry with chicken fried rice, I drive 5 miles just to get it, btw there is a chinese round the corner from me but yuck noooooo way.

I like yorkies...."Don't Feed The Birds"! Haa

I am so shocked they are allowed to have that slogan still....with the PC that goes on in England!!

OHHH and the bread...yum...and cheese. RedLeicester YUmmo.

Can't do the mushy peas....and I am not a big Bacon fan. It is really to salty for me.

mmm...food. Thinking of more

Is there something that you take over to England to cook that your inlaws/family like you to do??
