No offense meant to our British friends, but you sound just like my husband with his attitude toward British food: "When was the last time you heard anyone say they were going out to eat British?"

In NYC: Spotted Pig, Tea & Sympathy, UK New York, A Salt & Battery, Chip/Curry Shop. In the Village and in Santa Monica, California, there are shops catering to ex-pats (and British foodies) that sell digestive biscuits, Bird's custard, Heinz baked beans, Christmas cakes, etc.

It's not the name, there are beef kidney's in it. Honestly, I recommend you try offal. Everyone has been force fed liver as a kid (I actually do like it with onions and bacon), but kidneys are alright, tripe is great (but chewy), sweatbreads are great on toast, and beef heart (if you cook it fast and serve it fast) is like the most tender steak you've had, with a little of the organ "it kinda falls apart when you chew it" texture.

The last time I've eaten in an English restaurant in the US was maybe five years ago at some little tea place in Greenwich Village, NYC (right next to a fish and chips place actually). I had the lentils, they were what you'd expect.

I've had steak and kidney pie many times. Done well, the kidney is difficult to tell from potato. As for english restaurants, there are (relatively speaking) lots in Florida. Not sure about other states.

In Canada they're called "pubs".
