I would miss the tolerance for eccentricity, the British sense of humour more than anything... and Bread and Butter Pudding

Another vote for a cup of tea.

US sells normal teabags (not sweet tea), but never the same, and the chlorinated water ruins taste.

Even a cup of BA tea on the plane back tastes better.

My answer? SAUSAGES!!

The weather! So unpredictable it is refreshing!

The smell, whether it is in the city or countryside. I have even grown to like the smell of drains and organic fertilisers!

I suspect a number of divorced men may agree with you. Ooops just seen the word next.

Black pudding and square sliced sausage.

I believe some nations now have specially trained sniffer dogs at points of arrival to ensure no such contraband enters their country.

Contrary to popular belief such seizures aren't destroyed but sold at extraordinary sums to ex-pat Scottish communities.

that must be a USA thing because it just sounds so wrong...

however, in the interests of international relations I would be happy to give it a go!

it may sound wrong... but by golly it tastes so right....

was trying to work out a way of explaining what a biscuit is....

a "biscuit" is like a bread that is made with buttermilk and baking power/soda rather then yeast..... looks like a scone...

US Biscuit - best description is savoury scone

Part of the fast food breakfast staples, sausage and biscuit, which means a patty of sausage meat (very peppery) in the middle.

A lot nicer than the breakfast muffins.

Choice in crisps.

Nowhere in the world does crisps, in such a wide variety, as the UK
