When I think of comfort food, I don't think of beefburgers, hotdogs, etc.
I think of Yankee PotRoast or Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes or Crabcakes with cole slaw.
Oh -- one other thing. George and Laura Bush are much -- much -- better looking that Prince Charles and Camilla whateverthehellherlastnameis.
The thing about American food is that it is so diverse.
Each section of the country has something different. Maine has lobsters, California has it's own style of cooking, Texas (my personal fav) has Tex-Mex and bar-b-que, the south has biscuits and gravy, and on and on. I've only mentioned a few.
I've never been to England, so I really don't know much about it. However, I don't think there is much variety. In the states, there is.
