YUM!
Sausages baked right into the Yorkshire Pudding with a gravy(can't remember if it is poured over or in with the entire lot--I know it is a similar gravy to the type put in Shephard's Pie though--beef or onion gravy). It is good stuff!
Meijers has great food here in the Midwest. Supposedly many local chefs in the area by their produce there in a pinch. I concur--they get some awesome blueberries in season and at 97 cents a pint on sale, you can't beat it!
Also, as an Aussie, I feel I must point out that vegemite is better than marmite - but I confess to saying that out of patriotism and nothing else.

LOL, my mother will only claim Marmite in an act of patriotism as well!
Oh friend, my British Grandpa only died last year at 81 and he ate like that and finished his meats down to the bone, fat and all. Of course in world war II the man inhaled fuel from his boat that sank and lived so I guess to his body that fatty food was nothing after that.
Everything boiled to death.
Yup, that is my mother with veggies.
Loved Warwick Castle btw, one of my favorites to visit when we went there as kids.
My mother loves mangos and the like. We lived in Florida for years and I despise mangos, papayas, and the worst--guava and cream cheese pastries--think it is a Cuban pastry--yeeuck!
Not all steak in the US is not fed the same way and it changes the taste. Some of the beef in US is imported form Argentina and has a very strange flavor, like COD liver oil. Range fed, corn fed are the two most likely. In Florida steaks are wonderful (bought in the right stores), it is corn fed. While in CA Range fed is usual and it is tougher meat, but the flavor is good.
Next time her royalty visits here she should make sure she gets an invite to Ruth Chris Steak House. Expensive but lovely!!!!! I do have to say that I really loved the Angus beef in the British Isles.
I agree--their menu is huge--as is their portions. I usually share if something can be agreed on. I love their orange chicken dish(something like sweet and sour chicken).
That is hilarious!!! We call the sweet muffins just plain ol' muffins, and the Egg McMuffin the English muffin. You learn something new every day!
She should try tomatos purchased from a grocery store - Bright red and perfectly shaped, with the consistancy of an apple and an utterly bland taste.
What about toad in the 'ole?
They don't drink it "warm"; they just don't drink it ice cold. I keep my (homebrewed British ales) beer fairly cold, but drink it slowly, and the best flavor is after it's warmed up a bit.
But that's the difference between light American lagers and British style ales: you actually want to taste the latter.
I"ve heard that about Aussie wine too.
How about a chip buttie?
That explains it . . . she's inherited a lack of class from Mum there. Sheesh, don't y'all have any non-embarrassing royals to trot out? ;)
I can't do the lamb thing either. My mom used to be big on the mint. She used to grow it. She hasn't used mint for a long time now but I always remember her having it around.
And where you can get Brussels sprouts as a pizza topping
