Caryn! Tabasco on Buffalo wings!!  Sacrilege!  Franks or nothing else!  Oh yes and with a ton of butter please.

:)

I like all sorts of wings so really can't complain.  I'm glad they are finally getting Franks in the UK.  :) A lovely lady even brought some back for me :* when I was still there.

Ive tried just about EVERY american style pickles out there, and for me NOTHING compares with real american dill pickles or dill slices... So I'd rather do without and I do.
I bring back two jars of dill pickle slices every time i visit the US .. Yea they do go rather quickly  ;D

Just my opinion others may vary  ;)

I totally agree  ;) Dh even knows this so 1 year he bought me some Valasic Dill pickles off an import site for our Anniversary I have such a sweet & wonderful hubby!!  [smiley=love.gif]

I think you need to buy polish pickles to approximate what we get for dill pickles in america.

I don't like all the spices & bits of stuff the Polish pickles have in the jars but that's just me.  ;)  ;D

I'm lucky... I loved the little cornichons when I was living as a kid in Spain so I  just used those....

I realized a few weeks ago when I offered one to a friend here in the USA just how tart those little suckers can be!

Someone mentioned Bleu Cheese to go with the wings- and if I can insert my 2p I *ahem* came up with a fabulous recipe while in the UK.  I think it's better than the Bob's Big Boy brand- but probably because English cheese kicks the a** of the cheese you get most places here in the US. 

I just took a jar and threw in according to your personal taste ratio- Bleu Cheese, a bit of garlic, mayo, sour cream, and milk to thin it out a bit.  I also put in a bunch of black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.  Voila- instant deliciousness.

I googled Buffalo Wing Sauce and was able to find some. Right now I have Sweet Baby Ray's from home! I make the best Buffalo Chicken Wraps that I thought of from eating at a local restaurant back home! mmm.....
Thanks for the flavoured coffee info! I will look into ordering for that website. 2.99 seems cheap! Is it a really small bag of coffee?
Ya, I think I will have to let go of the whole pickle craving. I will just bring over a jar next time.

I bought a bottle of Discovery "Tangy Fajita Table Sauce" at Sainsburys and it is as close as I have found to Taco Bell Fire Sauce. It isn't by any means Taco Bell Fire Sauce as it has a bit of a funny wang to it. But if you are desperate...

This is not an endorsement of Discovery products in general. The refried beans, for instance, need a warning label....the plastic bottles of soured cream and quac are a horror of food science gone wrong.
