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.
Chips on a buttered roll? Huh. That just sounds nasty to me.
Wow, that's practically a French Fry Poboy.
Must squelch urge to get French Fry Poboy for lunch.

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.)
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.
I now want fish & chips and I blame TOM SCOLA.

Yeah, potatoes are so starchy, there's really no mixing them with other starches. It puts a whole new spin on redundancy.
I remember a girl in high school who used to dip her fries in mayo. That still perplexes me. Does anyone here do that?
DH likes mayo with his fries. In fact, when we had our cheeseburgers on Friday we both had a ketchup-mayo mixture for our fries. Yummy and decadent.
Someone told me in high school that that was a Belgian thing.

It's the norm in Europe (or at least in France and Belguim), and I still don't understand why it's never caught on here, given the extreme nastiness of ketchup and the utter perfection of the fry/mayo combination.
Does anyone here do that?
My roomate in Prague introduced me to the concept of mixing ketchup and mayo for fries. So if it is available, that's what I do.
