What British food have you discovered/would miss?

Dw came up with this one....she doesn't post on here.

So, living in the UK, what food have you found here that you really like, and what foods would you miss if you moved back to the US?

(She said this whilst munching through a bag of Walker's French Fries which she loves!)

Various regional sausages (mmmm cumberland). Bacon. Sticky toffee pudding. Biscuit Dairy Milk. Roasts with yummy Yorkshire puds.

We make roasts at home every once in a while, but sometimes it's just nice to be able to go out and let someone else make them, preferably with a bloody mary. I've not tried making my own Yorkshire's yet. Hmmm. Project!

Curry. I know there are plenty of curry places in San Francisco, but I go home for tortillas and carnitas, so at about the three week back in SF point, I cannot wait to get home and have curry over rice, and a side of Bombay potatoes.

I've been here almost 6 years and I bought my very first jar of Branston Pickle only just a couple weeks ago.  I can't say I wouldn't be able to live without it, but it's my new thing I really like!

As someone who is not yet living in the UK, I can tell you that the food-ish items I miss most when not there are pork pies and Sheridan's!!  Between the two, they're pretty much worth the flight all by themselves! 

Hmmm, the bacon, sausages, crumbly cheshire cheese, and Staffordshire oatcakes. I've finally conquered the art of yorkshire puddings so I could make them. And does beer count? I would really miss the beer.

I know that I always used to miss chips and curry and kebabs! I know that if I moved back now, I would miss all the different sausages, toad in the hole, pasties, sausage rolls... All very healthy things, of course!

Potato farls.

I'm sure there's more but that's the first thing that popped into my mind.

I couldn't live without Branston, though I can make a nearly identical version if need be. But I could always buy it in the US, anyway, so I was OK!

The cheese. Which, of course, goes with the Branston.

A good fish & chips on a night I'm too tired to cook. Or on any night, really.

Philp's Cornish pasties.

It is not even 10am! How can people be discussing eating pickle? 

I would add sherbet saucers and kola kubes (the kind with the gummy centre, not the cheap ones).

You've never had Branston Pickle before now! 

I always get the one with smaller chunky bits, don't fancy the one with the big chunky bits.

For me - cheese, meat pies, Sunday roasts, curries...hmm I'm sure there are more, but I'm not hungry & it's too early to think just now.

One thing and one thing only...Vimto.

Cornish pasties.  Weird, because they're the sort of thing I wouldn't think I'd have liked, but they're great.

It's not just for breakfast.

And does beer count? I would really miss the beer.

Mmmm.  Proper real ale. Cask beer.  Mmmm.
I would definitely miss that.
