Everything I know about British lifestyle I learned on Fawlty Towers. They were always eating kippers and prawns and in one episode with the rat named Basil they were serving cheese cubes for dessert. Of course the rat managed to be in with the cheese.

I've never had a kipper or a prawn. I think I'd like kipper because I really like fish including anchovies and sardines, etc. I don't get what prawns are. They looked like shrimp.

The truly authentic English candy is to die for, and easily acquired in Canada, which isn't that far from where I live. My favorite is the English toffee. I go to Canada once a month just to buy authentic English candies.

I *love* Crunchie bars. We don't have anything comparable here, that I've found. Grrr...
