Whatever you decide, make sure she washes it all down with a cold pint of cider! ;)

I'm totally in favor of the flapjacks, as they are yummy.  If you can find steak and ale pie it seems to be a common like with the Americans that visit me!  :)  Good luck!  Ooooh, and cider, definitely the cider!

Scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream.

One of my favorite things.

I just want a WKD blue or two (or five or ten  ;) ) and chips from a chippy.

I think that's all I'll eat for the nine days I'm in the UK.  ;D  ;)

It doesnt really taste anything like smirnoff ice...that's just the only thing i can really think of to compare it to. I don't like beer, so it's a nice alternative.
