Here is the final part of my blog post: British Food Products in the USA! Obviously this is only the tip of the Tower (pun intended), but this is just a basic knowledge of the most well known brands common to Britain. 11. Walker's Crisps - The thing to know if you go to Britain if you want Potato Chips, they are called "Crisps" over there. If you say "chips" they will give you what we call french fries. Walkers is the biggest name in Crisps over there. They are owned by PepsiCo. and are the British Brand of our Lay's Potato Chips. They come in a number of flavors, such as: Salt and Vinegar, Pickled Onion, Prawn Cocktail, Worcester Sauce, and Tomato Ketchup. These are just a few. 12. Bisto - This is basically just instant gravy mix. They have many numerous flavors over there. They come in resealable containers. The flavors include: beef, chicken, vegetable, cheese sauce, parsley sauce, white sauce, roast onion, and Chip Shop Curry. 13. Haywards Pickled Onions - If you like onions for a snack, these are for you. they are small white onions, pickled in a brine. They are delicious as a snack with some cheese and crackers, or with a Ploughman's Lunch. I highly suggest you try them. 14. Jaffa Cakes - My friend will kill me if I don't mention Jaffa Cakes. They are one of my favorites. They are small bite size sponge cakes topped with an orange jelly and coated in dark chocolate. They are oh so good. They can be addictive. There are a few brands: McVities', Jacobs. Try them immediately. 15. Irn Bru - Pronounced "Iron Brew". Irn-Bru is a soda from Scotland which is extremely popular in the UK. In fact it’s Scotland’s number 1 selling drink, outselling even Coca Cola. Irn Bru has a unique rusty orange color and a sweet rustic scent making it distinctly different from other drinks. It’s quite fizzy and tastes especially wonderful when icy cold. Apparently it’s great for hangovers too. The joke is that they say, the only thing with more sugar, is a 5lb. bag of sugar. Once again, you can find all of these products online at the British Food Depot. Click on the button below to go there now. Try these and you will like them. I can guarantee it. Cheerio!

This is comfort food British style. Any pub worth its whisky will have this on their menu. I mean with all that beer, there should be a reason to have it besides drinking it. Simple as can be as well. It is so simple and yet so delicious and satisfying. Sausages browned and served with a hearty portion of mashed potatoes and a delicious gravy chock full of onions, beer, and seasonings. I try and make this whenever I can. If you make it, the one thing I must stress is to use good English style sausages. The worst possible idea is to use Italian sausages or breakfast sausages. You may have to search around but most grocery stores have plain pork sausages. Try this and you will want it every week. Click on the link below for the recipe. NOTE: the picture above is the closest I could find that matches the recipe below. Cheers!
