Food the Brits have that America doesn't

Maybe the British products are too expensive?
Everything in the UK has now got expensive.
Most especially butter.

 

You can Butter me up whenever you want Gal.
You are so tasty.

 

Butter has become more expensive everywhere and there has been supply issues with the cheaper versions. Sales of butter go up each year and sales of margarine go down each year. On one hand I don't like paying more for butter, but on the other hand I am glad to see sales the way they are going. Like breakfast cereals, sales of margarine only took off in English speaking countries. Some years ago I started this thread about shutting down margarine production.
Shut down margarine production!

 

On my way. Thank you

 

Food is subjective thing.One man's meat is another man's poison. I made rock cakes at college but never in the trade.

 

I like Olive spread. Nice taste.

 

actually i don't mind rock cakes all that much provided they're slathered with much jam and with a decent cuppa builder's. it's the american pastry called "scones" (in name only) that apparently are [patternred after rock cakes that i can't stand. my mom used to have them in the house constantly when i was a kid and would serve them with practically every meal it seemed, if she could, that's why.

KFC buttermilk scones/bisquits can do it for me in a emergency (hey i'm american, give me a break; my cullinray standards are inherently rock-bottom, lol) but they're not a substitute for a proper one home-baked

 

Been shopping.

 

Just about a week's supply for me Candy darlin' !!!

 

ha you mad fool.

 

Fish have fins, some even have wings, but they don't have fingers !!!

 

WELL they sell them. lol

 

well hey, i mean bison have wings and chickens (supposedly) have nuggets, so, you know.....

have you ever done a taste comparison between them and the american birdseye fish fingers (fish sticks)? i'm sure ours would probably be pretty disgusting by comparison. but then i doubt it's anything like my own cooking which has been known to be described as "barbaric"*

i've actuallly done that with canadian and american kraft dinners.... the canadian version at least used to hands down every time (especially with ketchup - no it's not just a stereotype, i think it may have been actually formulated to be consumed with a nice squirt of ketchup), supposedly when they changed the product's name to the meaningless "KD" a few years ago they also changed the formula to be more like the nasty, artificial-tasting american version but i haven't tried the allegedly new canadian version yet. the old canadian formula was much thicker and creamier and had a more pronounced cheddar flavour and overall actually fairly similar if not identical to safeway's store-brand product, which i much prefer over our domestic kraft when given the choice

Getting my Mojo back - have been fighting off chest infection these past few days, so my appetite has suffered (absolute disaster !!! ) but had proper cooked breakfast this morning and have defrosted a Pork joint Which I will roast for Sunday lunch with all the trimmings later on.

 

Oh gawd.

 

I have to say that Canadian baked beans are the best.

 

Pigs Trotters

 

My late Father are those.

 

I like pork crackling too !!!
