So Americans just a curious question as someone who is British - what do you know about the UK, UK food, traditions, etc?

Just curious.

I talk to a friend from Hexham, this what comes off the top of my head:

Fish and chips usually come with mushy peas.

Fish can have vinegar or curry sauce on it.

There's only one kind of gravy, brown.

What we call green onions/scallions, y'all call them spring onions.

What we call ground beef, y'all call minced beef.

Really no air conditioning.

Words are spelled differently, such as:

Tire- Tyre

Flavor- Flavour

Color- Colour

Favor- Favour

Beans on toast. No such thing as mayonnaise on a sandwich, it's usually butter.

Mexican restaurants are very scarce. My friend has only one called Little Mexico. Mainly a lot of Indian.

Y'all have a MOT test that has to be done to make sure your vehicle is in working order.

I lived just south of Cambridge for 4 years, so I’d consider myself knowledgeable about a good portion of British behavior and language patterns, and about a good bit of food (although I could never get around to trying blood pudding). I really miss the bangers used there, which I haven’t found in the US at all, and some of the desserts just tasted fresher and more flavorful. I know a fair bit about the history, as I studied in British schools, and I’ve kept up with some of the modern politics. Was a big hit when the Queen passed, as she was part of my childhood there.

Oh, I also really miss the pubs. The festivities held there and the holiday celebrations were really family oriented and it was a good way to meet the community

I've been to the UK a number of times but pretty much always ate Indian food while I was there except for Fish & Chips, which I love. Can't say I'm very knowledgeable about traditional UK food. I have some knowledge of UK traditions from knowing people from there when I lived in Germany, but since I've never had a girlfriend from the UK, I'm not as knowledgeable about them as I'd like to be.

I love nothing more than a Good Ol' Bri'ish style CUP OF TEA ☕

But where's the T in Bri'ish.. I guess you guys had it 💀

[Skull_Anon]

(Just kidding)
Apart from Tea, I love James Bond and Mr Bean !

They know very little. It's why they remain Americans.

Whereas South Americans, try and be Americans, so they can upgrade to being Brits or Europeans later.

Aside from being racist & ignorant what is the point of your post?

[TrueConfection]

I prefer popovers as opposed to Yorkshire pudding.

I wish I had a mum with a huge pocketbook to pay for everything on my outings.

I like a cup of tea in the afternoon.

Fish and chips, tea, a lot of toast is consumed, nandos, great breakfast.

[BarryLiverstone]

I know about Yorkshire Pudding and an English roast.
