Most enjoyed USA food

Whilst there in October, I enjoyed several items of food which are not available in the UK.

These stand out items were:

A1 Steak Sauce
Twizzlers
Welchs Grape Soda
Pretzel M&Ms
Butterfingers
Chex Mix

What do you guys enjoy that you cannot get over here? And for CJ, what do you miss from the UK that you cannot get in the USA?

Chipotle!
Cheetos crunchy (although apparently you can get them online hmmmm)

And I will throw Canada into the discussion and say Tim Hortons Boston Creme donuts and hot chocolate.

Last but not least..... Baconator!

Philly cheesesteak
Baconator
proper Mountain Dew.

I'll agree with Cheetos Crunchy. I had a bag of the Jalapeno ones for my epic 2,000 mile road trip. Needless to say, they were gone by the time I reached the first state line...

Jonzee, I had the pleasure of trying Mountin Dew Voltage. I believe it's an energy form of Mountain Dew. It did NOT taste good, but I was completely wired for the rest of the day!

I've never tried a Baconator, what is it?

Not a brand but I always enjoyed the Yank style pancakes - even more than the British counterpart if I'm honest.

Dandelion and burdock
Proper chocolate (loathe Hershey's)
HP sauce
Heinz baked beans
Cornish pasties
Wensleydale cheese
Chocolate buttons
Tetleys (beer not tea)
Cadburys selection box at Christmas

I can get most of these at a premium from specialist shops.

Who said Twizzlers? Mr C and get through those at an alarming rate.

Baconator
Root beer
Tim hortons dehlli sub
Creamy peas
The size of portions
Bacon with maple syrup
diary queen

List could go on forever

Diary Queen? Bridget Jones or Anne Frank??

Can't speak for the US, but for Canada I have to say-

Size of portions
Quebecoise Steak
Fat Bastard Burgers (you know the sort, 2 cows, a pig, a chicken, eleventy three different cheeses, beef, more beef and more salad and sauce than should fit on the plate...)
Seafood done properly
Chilli Dog Stalls

And while not technically food, the range of beers in Scotland Yard, Toronto. More than I've had, and that is a LOT.

That kinda sums it up but without the chicken

Ive come to the conclusion, after extensive research that the Americans do the best breakfast in the world

French toast, maple syrup, sausage patty (it sounds so wrong but it's heaven on a plate)

Corned beef hash and eggs

Dunkin Donuts sausage and egg muffin

Crap! Now I've made myself hungry.

No, no, no, no, no, NO.

English Breakfast - Bacon, sausage, tomato, bacon, black pudding, hash brown, eggs, more bacon, fried bread, toast, bacon, beans, mushrooms, bacon. With coffee. And no blooming maple blooming syrup in sight. Maybe HP or Ketchup. Or mustard. Or all three. But not mayo. Certainly not.

I actually agree with Leafy here...... USA cannot do breakfasts..... They do all other food very well but breakfast? Nah......

Except the coffee......that stuff is the devil.

From Canada, proper poutine and anything Tim hortons.

From the usa proper gumbo and jambalaya down south!

I would say baconator but its still on my list of things to do before I die!

Remember to make it a triple

Also good call on the poutine!

I agree, although I think you need a bit more bacon!

Where do people stand on having proper chips with an English breakfast?

I'm not really sure what I think of the food quality on the other side of the Atlantic. I guess some people enjoy the good stuff but on the whole I imagine a lot of citizens eat low quality crap far too often.

The Yanks most certainly don't do beer - at least not on any mass produced scale.

A full English is the greatest breakfast in the world. Not every day of course but as an occasional treat it's awesome.

Chips? No chance. You get all the spud action you need from the hash brown/rosti/boxti variation. Tomatoes are fine but for me are a mere token gesture towards health. Black pudding is for northerners and is disgusting - white pudding that we have in Ireland is however pretty fine. Fried bread is arguably the worst foodstuff ever created and I'd seriously be concerned by anyone eating such a thing in the 21st century. Coffee? Bit girlie. Tea is preferable for a man.

I absolutely HATE to admit the following......and I can't under estimate how much this hurts....but, I have to agree with Leafy

CJ - You have to come home, you are fast becoming, too American!!!

When me and the brother went to Philly, he brought back two boxes of Lucky Charms.

American breakfasts are awesome. Bacon and Eggs followed by a stack of pancakes = awesome. Anyone wishing to try a baconator dont just get one, Three is an acceptable amount in one sitting in my eyes.

Three triples?

No votes for the KFC Double Down then?
