Hey Midchuck, Gervase, who said they had to be accurate? We _are_ talking national stereotypes here, guys - come on, make nice sweeping statements with no justification if you want to fit in. ;-)

I'm sure there's great local brews over in the US - it's just we don't get to see any of them over here, just bloody Budweiser and its irritating sodding adverts. And whilst English food is generally good, everyone's been to a pub/restaurant at some point and found themselves lumbered with veg that's been boiled to buggery and meat like an elephant's instep.

My contribution to the foody ppl - add a bit of rosemary, thyme, onion salt (very little!), salt and pepper to your Yorkshire puddings.

Grab.
