1. British food is awesome

2. Fish'n'chips, bangers and mash, tea, scones, baked beans, meat pies, alcoholic beverages.

3. Yes. I like almost all British food I have tried, with the exception of alcoholic beverages. American "Fish'n'Chips" does not even come close to the real stuff.

I hope that is good! :D

Over here, it's all pretty greasy, and served in pubs.
Hey, sup?

You forgot hot dogs in your list of cliche American foods, bacteria.

Also, Scotland has deep-fried pizza? Damn, that sounds tasty. Artery-clogging goodness.

I don't know of any food I've ever had that was 'British,' but I do enjoy a Boddingtons every now and then...

G-force and I had that from a Burger King in Toronto. Maybe the Burger King part is where we screwed up, but we were less than impressed with it. Of course, after a few drinks, that cheeseburger was exactly what I was looking for :lol:

If you want a real good poutine, you must go to Montreal.

I like just about all British food, however, some food that Americans eat too have names that confuse me. For instance, fries are chips, and chips are crisps.

In the UK, chips are classified as being potatoes fried in oil, fries are not potato based, but chemical based (eg your fast food outlets), hence called fries.
