Food the Brits have that America doesn't

Scones !!!

 

​

 

Thank you, Brother.

 

As you can see Angel darlin' we mix the dough with dried fruit and a little sugar. When they are baked, we cut them in half and put jam (I think you call that jello) and clotted cream - absolutely delicious !!!

 

Yes, Jello. For us, jam is fruit preserves, which would be spread on toast or bread, especially with peanut butter!
Like jelly but with pieces of fruit in it. Peanut butter and jelly-- a favorite sandwich for American kids!

 

I have to ask...WHAT IS THAT??!!??

 

Roasted peanuts but they are from the "street vendor".

 

Thank you! No street vendors here!

 

Nah, but we have boiled peanuts at the mom & pops. I'd take a chance on those caramelized goober peas, they look tasty.

 

we have street vendors in some cities, depends on local ordinances. but i'd not seen a carmalized goober one.
mostly they vend hot dogs (tube steak, veeners, other such names). or ice creams. towns that allow them are fairly international so there could be anything.
but of course it has to be something common enough to be able to sell to the less adventurous.

 

Corn dogs; hot dog on a stick, dipped in cornbread batter and deep fried.
We have the Big E up here in New England, and they have a few 'delicasies' just available there, like deep fried candy bars and deep fried ice cream ( an actual thing). They also boast deep fried Coca-Cola. Not sure what that is. Oh, and they serve a cheeseburger with a big, split doughnut in place of a roll! Never had that. Sounds gross to me!

 

I don't know if this has been said without traipsing over the 26 pages but don't think Americans have pease pudding or stotties as I think these are both a northern English thng



Stottie

 

I agree on this.

 

there was a British floral shoppe with a cafe/tea room in it a couple miles up the road and i remember seeing Newcastles there occasionally, in bottles, they also made their own pastries, used to get what they called stotty cakes stuffed with bacon and cheese, for takeaway. think they were actually tufties since they were much smaller than your regulation stotty. they moved out to camas about a year ago and haven't been there since

the beer must have been fuckin expensive to import since i don't believe any of our local alcohol distributors carry it, i could be wrong.

 

..... which, of course, is what we would call a triangular, crumbly and fairly nasty pastry marginally similar of your rock cakes, but descended from then and absolutely nothing like a proper buttermilk scone/bisquit! (confused yet? i am)

 

Most likely?

 

Best to make your own.
So easy

 

i know one of them did carry it but that was like 10 years ago, i work in a supermarket that gets deliveries from all the major distributord in the region so i get to check everybody in and verify orders... want to say that it's probably just asuch a little-known brand around here it never too k off and they discontinued it, which is weird because we have a fairly good-sized british immigrant/ethnic population in this part of the northwest

we sure sell enough heiniken, though, and they manufacture and distribute Newcastle. apparently there were also a few USA-specific seasonal varieties but that was about as long ago, i only remember seeing the regular newcastle
