    Probably more American but a lot of British people too, and I think the food database has lots of English food. I have several friends who are from the other side of the Atlantic, and Canada...

    I'm Irish and I've been able to find all my foods in the database for Lidl, Aldi and Tesco's, there might be more American people here (not sure though) but plenty of others as well

    I am american but I have friends in the uk and austraila. So I think we are from all over and the foods if you cant find it in the data base you can always add it.
    I think if you want support this is a great place to be no matter where in the world you are.

    Apparently plenty of British foods in the database, though the site is US-based, I think. My favorite potato chips/crisps are Walker's Baked Salt & Vinegar, and they're in the database! :-)

    American here... ex-Californian, ex-Mainer, ex-Floridian, ex-Coloradian, ex-Pennsylvanian, ex-Texan, ex-washintonian, ex-illinoisian (? lol)..... yep... I'm a modern day nomad.... I'm now somewhere on the east coast of the U.S.

    There are tons of Bloody Brits and Canadians (eh?)... LOL....

    Everyone on here are awesome people though regardless of location! Welcome to MFP!

    I'm German and The majority of people are from USA but sometimes I get random friend requests in German so I feel like it must be a possibility for people to search by areas of your profile because I list myself in California but I still receive these messages. Also, you can search for members near you in the "find members" section, then you would find a list of people local to you.
    In regards to the food section, if the brand is specific to UK it might be difficult to find it, but you can always just add the calories additionally.

    Best of luck =)

    I think so but I'm not from the US, UK or from any Anglophone country. I'm Hispanic and currently based in Asia.

    I live near Sheffield, UK and you can find majority of uk brands/supermarket foods on the database. If its something new thats recently come on the market you can add it yourself. Also you'll find that there is various measurements ranging from grams, ounces, cups etc.

    I'm a Brit - there are loads of Brit foodies on the food section. I am having a hard time understanding the American type foods but it's a good conversation starter :)

    Feel free to add me - my diary is now public too :)
