Ooh, that's much closer to me. Yay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Abby!
Some of the best food I've ever had was in Ireland.
I'll second that, and Hubs will third. We think it's the ingredients -- far fresher (for example, many fewer preservatives) than are most generally available in the States.
The British Isles also know how to swipe the best in ethnic cooking. One of the best meals I've ever had was a chicken curry in a pub in a village (whose name I've unfortunately forgotten) in County Kildare.
I could also rave all day about treats (soft drinks, candies, cookies, desserts) in the British Isles and on the Continent (or at least the little of it I've seen, which is basically Paris and some of its environs). But I'll limit myself to this -- a couple we know visit Ireland regularly (she's fron Kildare, and most of his family lives around here) and have asked me if we'd like them to bring us back something. We ask for a few cans of Lilt, a truly scrumptious citrus-based soda.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Now I want a deep fried candy bar. I blame you people.

Chips on a buttered roll? Huh. That just sounds nasty to me.
I've got weird bruises on my hands. Not sure how I did that. Probably cleaning yesterday. But weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We ask for a few cans of Lilt, a truly scrumptious citrus-based soda.
The key to Lilt isn't the citrus -- it's the pineapple. I love it too. I prefer British chocolate bars to their US analogues, hands down. I also have a tremendous weakness for the Mr. Kipling's apple pie. Their mince pies are not to be ignored, either -- I heartily second Fred's assessment of the treats.
A co-worker of mine was complaining about British food the other day, especially the hotdogs and pizza. I rolled my eyes aggressively at him, and then he mentioned Indian food -- I dared him to say that had sucked in London, and he couldn't.

Uhhhng.
See, I just can't put potato in a sandwich. I think I have very firm ideas about where potatos should go. They should not appear suddenly in spaghetti sauce, macaroni and cheese, on pizzas or stirfry (all of which manifested in the form of french fries. The czechs apparently like using it as filler.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, Abby!

I always check World Market for foreign chocolates and other goodies. I don't know what comes from where, but I know what I like, and I like Areos.
I also buy the canned raviolis from England whenever I find them, but that's probably peculiar to me.
