I am going back to England on Weds for 2 weeks.
I am interested to see if I can eat all the things that you lot would eat if you went back....
If you can list your 2 "must have" UK foodstuffs I will attempt to cross them off while I'm there and see if I can accomplish all of it.
Please bear in mind that I will NOT be travelling out of the Southampton area so any food specific to Scotland, Northern England or Cornwall etc. will be out of the question D
Stel the glutton.
My list was a lot bigger than 2 but if I had to choose then (apart from the obligitory Fish and Chips, Cadburys etc) would be
Scampi
A real cream cake
Nice healthy stuff! lol P

Wow, this sounds like fun, wish I was going home.

Stel the glutton.
After spending 5 days there recently I can honestly say that there isn't anything I feel I missed about food there....
Even the beer was kinda "different" having gotten used to good quality local microbrews I found it all so watery.
However I did find myself missing a damn good Carne Asada burrito.
I will send you some Zantec though ;)
