Also Peanut butter and jam on toast, I hate the american's for claiming this excellent invention!
I got horrifically addicted to PBJ butties back when I was dating an American lass, to a point now where I buy American "Jif" peanut butter at vastly inflated prices from Selfridges, and whenever anyone goes on holiday to the States and offers to bring me something back I've shelved my bourbon order in favour of Smucker's Strawberry Jelly. It's the one true way, I've not yet found a worthy UK substitute.
Dates - oh I love dates.
Whisky - I have stopped treating myself to any specials at the Co-Op now. Most of a bottle in one evening then enough left over a for a tipple the next was a waste of good whisky. I could have just drunk turps.
Thinking about it, I really should be a fat knacker. I do apologise.
Oh man, how could I forget.
Chip butties. Extra-thick white bread, proper chips, salt and vinegar, Heinz ketchup, real butter that's running off your elbows by the end.
I once went for lunch in a local pub and ordered two chip butties, the bardroid said "are you sure, they are rather large?" I scoffed them and went back for a third, the guy said, incredulously, "if you eat it, you can have it for free." Easy. Omnomnom.
Those Snakes from Natural Confectionery Company
Cougar - there are plenty of websites that sell that stuff.
There's a store in the mall at Milton Keynes that sells 'merican foods, it's good for jelly beans but the rest is such shit (sorry Cougar), massively ****ed about with to within an inch of being an industrial process rather than food.
Will look out for your Jam though.
Home-made pies, pasties, sausage rolls and scotch eggs from the local butcher. They really are the nuts.
I'd never tried pickled eggs before last week as the concept just seemed so wrong. Then I thought 'how can anything pickled be wrong?'. I shall not be keeping them in stock though as I reckon you'd be pretty offensive on every level after troughing a jar of those (which I would undoubtedly do) ๐
(-:
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of things the US gets wrong, but sometimes they get things very right. PB&J sammiches rates fairly highly in the latter category.
IMO, etc etc.
Mussels
PBJ is downright disgusting.
Bad American foods:
Spray cheese
Grease-tastic burgers
Spreadable marshmallow creme
"American" cheese slices
Spangly coloured breakfast cereals
A lot of the fruit and veg where size is prized above all
PBJ, as mentioned
Most supermarket bread
Hot dogs
Corn dogs
Twinkies
Good American food:
French toast
Tex-Mex
A good burger
Grilled cheese sandwiches (American style, which are actually fried)
Marshmallows (they taste somewhat different there)
Smores (freshly made not bought)
Philly cheesesteak sandwiches
And many others.

Inspiration for the dedicated men amongst you.
Tootall, in this age of mass communication and instant gratification, it's rare that a web page reduces me to open mouthed wonderment...
[bows deeply/] I'm impressed...
Smores (freshly made not bought)
You've put this one in the wrong list, anything that is traditionally made with Hersheys (tastes like sick) chocolate can never be good
[b]Cougar:[/b] You can buy Jif peanut butter in the supermarket, I've seen it in tescos and sainsburys
