I worked with a guy whose Scottish cousin bragged about drinking imported Budweiser.
When I lived in London (a dozen years ago) I always chuckled at the many hipster and yuppie types I saw drinking Budweiser thinking it was really something special. I later became acquainted with some who enthusiastically supported the Campaign for Real Ale. Unsurprisingly, they openly mocked the hipsters...
Another thing I couldn't quite wrap my head around: being on a train and overhearing a group of late teens/twenties couples coming into the city for a holiday. They couldn't wait to go to KFC!

I have relatives in England we visit occasionally, and they probably laugh at me for getting excited about meat pies.
It’s still hard for me to get used to oriental people speaking with English accents.
