Not really British but I do remember these they were HQ'd in Columbus.

Who buys gravy?????
All my life our gravy is homemade.

[Red Badger]

Yes! I used to eat there! We had one near my house in Ft. Lauderdale!........................................

[libertylover]

he repeated his claim and accused media outlets, including the BBC, as well as other politicians, of being "disingenuous".

So, what else is new?

[mylife]

As a kid in Ohio I loved that!

[nascarnation]

It appears they still have two locations still open in Cleveland area.

My guess is that this might encourage domestic jello production? The women in my family all seem to be able to ‘manufacture’ gravy at home; they must possess some magical ability.

I can get good fish, but malt vinegar is harder to find.

“But he warned trimmings like Bisto or trifle could be missing from traditional Sunday dinners”

There are two issues here.

(1) Bisto and trifle are not essentials and (2) the assertion many in Northern Island eat a traditional Sunday dinner.

Brexit - and in particular the special arrangements for the island of Ireland - are creating some short term troubles for the UK.

[Hyman Roth]

Beans beans good for the heart, the more you eat the more you fart, the more you fart the better you feel, so eat your beans at every meal.

[KarlInOhio]

The protocol means Northern Ireland follows the EU's rules on matters like animal product standards and creates extra paperwork on goods travelling from Great Britain.

It looks like Brexit left Northern Ireland on the wrong side of the UK/EU border because of various agreements allowing an open border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. What a mess.

They live in a union that rammed abortion down the throat of the last part of the island of Ireland that had it illegal. (Influenced by the union that they just left, for the record, but the “divorce” has not been ideological. So forget about “domestic entrepreneurs” except on a very small scale.)

[Olog-hai]

“British” is not a nation. Now English, Welsh and Scottish are . . .

[Red Badger]

We don’t have any of those restaurants either........................

[Olog-hai]

Neither do England, Scotland or Wales. But they have plenty of pubs and fish-and-chips places.

You go overseas and there aren’t any explicitly “American restaurants” either, although the chains like McDonald’s (a Scottish name) are understood to be so.

[Red Badger]

I ate at a Burger King in Germany. It wasn’t quite the same............................

In my younger days I met a woman who just moved here from England.

She thought she was doing me a favor by inviting me over and cooking for me.

That was our last date (omg the food was _awful_).
