...

Red Leicester (also known simply as Leicester or Leicestershire cheese) is an English cheese, made in a similar manner to Cheddar cheese, although it is crumblier, sold at 3 to 12 months of age.

OK since your empirical knowledge of British cuisine is based on London pub lunches, we won't embarrass you further on food.

 

But since you're on a British geography roll, how about Avoch, Milngavie and Findochty.

Interesting how my "upmarket restaurants" become converted to "London pub lunches" in your mindset. I wasn't aware London pubs were charging 200 pounds for a lunch back in the early 2000's. I can still remember the taste of a glass of red wine costing 12 pounds at one of said dinner restaurants - it would not have made it into a cardboard cask back in Oz. Lucky for me the company I worked for was paying.

I'm starting to think there must be a secret arm of the UK government that goes into all the British hospitals removing newborns' tastebuds. It's a plausible hypothesis to explain the foods you are fond of.

Don't know why you want to stray into Scotland, I understand the Scots are not all that fond of Brits. Yes, I've been there too. As far north as Blairgowrie. The food isn't any better there; however, at least they have whisky. I remember a very good cheese shop at St. Andrews, but nearly all of the stock was imported from Europe.

That about covers the food you can only get in America (well sometimes Canada too) and no where else in the world.

 

Boar's Head had some good looking trucks...

 

I could go for a hot, fat Kielbasa & kraut with French's mustard and a side of salt-potatoes...

 

Or liverwurst & swiss on a toasted Kaiser roll with Bermuda onion, mayonnaise & spicy mustard...

 

Or if you're buying, a nice NY Strip with a Maine lobster tail...

OMG. An Aussie food snob! Now there's an oxymoron if ever there was one.

 

BTW. Scots are Brits.

 

On Scottish food, if you read this thread, you will discover that there is a wide range of food unique to Scotland.

 

I can remember ordering haggis with tatties and neeps at a very swish restaurant in Glasgow. What was presented to me was delicious and would have graced the table in any Michelin starred restaurant.

What about the crawdads? Jethro Clampett was always chomping down on them.

 

Also, my great aunt always sent my mother a Macey's pecan pie for Christmas. Never seen them outside the US. Way better than British Christmas cake.

Cheese, although available, is alot more expensive .

I also like smoked bacon , meat with a little bit of fat , which can be cut off , unlike the fat and a little bit of meat that you get here .

   I also do not have a grill here .

Yes, you could make do , but it wont be the same as I make at home 

You've never seen brown wholemeal bread in Thailand? Huh?

 

So many different brands of bacon available also.

 

You don't need a grille, a hot, un-oiled frying pan does exactly the same thing as a grill.

Unfortunately, haggis with tatties and neeps ( yes, I know it's stuffed sheep stomach with potatoes and turnips ) does vary considerably in quality, from reasonably edible to downright atrocious.

There are about 1.6 million Scots that would disagree with you, if I remember the last referendum right.

If I was a food snob, I would not be liking Cumberland sausage, or battered cod with chip and peas.

I'm inclined to the view food should suit the climate. In Australia, it's bloody ridiculous we should be following the British tradition of roast everything at Christmas. A long time ago, I converted my family to cold Tasmanian crayfish with mustard sauce, salad, and a Vasse Felix classic dry white. Followed by a seasonal fruit salad mix - usually pineapple, strawberries, seedless grapes, blueberries and cantaloupe.

Careful now. The Brits will think we are ganging up on them.

My only problem with American food is that restaurants seem to think they are cheating their customers if the quantities are not huge. I was once served a roast beef in Pittsburgh that was the size of a large loaf of bread - well cooked, but just way too big for me. Same with a baked scrod in Norwalk.

I must admit to being partial to New Orleans Cajun and Creole cuisine, I put on about 10 pounds in the week I was there. I don't think I've encountered gumbo that good anywhere else.

Either way, London-only dining is not the be and end all of British cuisine. Never has been. Not even 18 years ago.

More precisely sheeps heart, liver, and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach. But very true and the worst abominations mostly come from tampering with the meaty bits to try and make it sound less offal awful.

Happy for you and your family. I will admit that me sojourn for quality beef sausages in Thailand led me to sample some Tasmanian Cape Grim stuff and they were very, very good, as are their burger patties.

 

And they also have Boag's!
