I'm on board to help LOL Especially if you add a food truck too

What should our menu be?  Eggrolls are definitely going on.  And tacos/burritos (like those Taco Bell Express locations that were cropping up for a couple of years.... a limited, basic Taco Bell menu).  What else could we serve up quickly and is missing from the UK scene?

Pancakes with maple syrup! Buffalo wings. Another Buffalo specialty was Beef on Kimmelwick rolls, but I'm not sure if that's an American thing or adopted from somewhere else.

Yeah, you can.  I had one at the weekend.

But they aren't the same.  I have yet to see an actual margarita glass.  Only in London have I seen flavored margaritas.  I feel like we could teach these Brits a thing or two about tequila!

Hehehe. I would love a place with options! We went to a Brazilian restaurant in London and their margaritas were excellent, and in the correct glass!

Pancakes with maple syrup! Buffalo wings. Another Buffalo specialty was Beef on Kimmelwick rolls, but I'm not sure if that's an American thing or adopted from somewhere else.

Was it called beef on weck, or something like that?  And there would be, like, rock salt crystals (or something) on top of the roll?  I think had that in Detroit, but I believe it was imported from somewhere my boyfriend-at-the-time had gone for work that afternoon.

Someone in a Facebook group just posted a picture of a block of provolone cheese they found at Lidl... what about those cheesesteak sandwiches with steak & onions (I'd leave those off of mine due to allergy), provolone, mayo, lettuce, and tomato.  Or a traditional cheesesteak with cheez-whiz goo?

And, yes!  Proper Buffalo wings with proper Buffalo wing sauce (made from Frank's!).  To be fair, I have had proper Buffalo wings served to me here in the UK.  I very nearly cried.

Tater tots! - I think I can do this.  In our old house, we used to do "potatoes, eggs, and toast" for breakfast every weekend.  It was Waffle House-style hashbrowns, fried eggs (over easy, because I have not mastered the fried egg), and buttered toast.  But tater tots are just McDonald's style hashbrowns... I think I could accomplish it.
Crab rangoon! - Well, I have a great recipe for the wraps, so just need to make the filling
BBQ EVERYTHING! - YES!
Margaritas! - I should put someone else in charge of this, but I'm all for it!
BAGEL BITES! - I have never made a bagel... I understand it's an art.  But once we master the bagel, we can put stuff on 'em and toast them
PIZZA ROLLS! - In my eggroll research, I saw passing mention of making pizza rolls by filling wonton/eggroll wrapper with pizza sauce, cheese, and finely chopped toppings and then deep-frying them... I will be trying it!
TOASTER STRUDELS! - Hmm... I can probably re-create the filled strudel thing, but they'd probably not be toaster-cooked ... hmm... But the icing drizzle I can do!

Okay, I need to stop now (starvation diet and all)

Yeah, beef on weck! It's a roll with rock salt and rye seeds, and freshly shaved roast beef w/ au jus.

Where did you find proper wings here? I know someone who owns a shop towards Liverpool and it made me laugh so hard when they gave me their Buffalo sauce recipe and it would've been weaker than the mild wings in Buffalo.

Carnitas and/or carne asada burritos the size of your forearm, like the ones in the SoCal taco shops. Chili-cheese-chipotle fries with bacon (the right kind). BLTs. Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Cerry coke. For the NJ types, Taylor ham on a hard roll. A proper sub sandwich. Philly steaks. Hot dogs that are really hot dogs. (sigh)

It was a place my husband took me not too long after I moved over here.  It was a chain... I think it might've been a Harvester, but when I look at their menu now, it only has "sticky BBQ wings".  I don't know!  I'll ask my husband, because they were definitely Buffalo wings with the tangy Frank's Red Hot-based sauce.

I don't see why a restaurant couldn't order cases of them to serve with burgers and sandwiches.

Oooh... a Reuben sandwich!

Why does every thread end up like this?  It's just devolved into lists of food.  Next will be pictures of cats
