I eat them differently than you'd eat Yorkshire puddings, though. Mine get butter and a drizzle of honey* or a bit of fruit jam inside. Blame Neiman Marcus. They've been serving them with strawberry butter for decades.
* I just remembered that I bought a bottle of ghost pepper-infused honey. I have got to try it with popovers. It was awesome with fried chicken.
Ah gotcha.
What's a popover?
edit: because MFP lost my reply.

Sadly, no. I have to go to specialist shops for my Quaver fix. However, the Cheetos Puffs are an acceptable alternative. Unfortunately I turn into a bit of a monster around them.

But we have tacos.
So do we.
Thanks to you.
You're welcome.
ETA: As much as I'd like to take credit, I did not invent the taco.
Yeah but you bought it to us and that's all that matters right now.
Americans brought tacos to the UK?
quote me if Im wrong but isnt Taco Bell an American franchise? It's recently been introduced to the UK.
We have Chipotle too - is that American?
Btw when I speak of Tacos - I only speak of fast food not actual mexican restaurants.
Well, that's disappointing.
Taco Bell isn't actually a great source of tacos.1 -

What? What's a no-no food? Are we toddlers?
I'm not sure about Spotted Dick and WhatNots but I assure you I eat Cheetos, Shepherd's Pie, Tacos, Fish n Chips and assorted other things mentioned in this thread on a regular basis and it didn't prevent me from reaching my weight loss goals...0 -
And this is how those foods are advertised

Cheetos Puffs are a poor imitation of Wotsits. Bought a huge bag for hotel room snacking on Holiday and didn't eat them all. Much disappoint.
I'm off out of the big smoke (London) this weekend visiting a friend in Portsmouth. There will be fish 'n chips. And her 2 year old daughter will devour a pickled egg (no really, she loves them).
Soda farls and potato scones though (must be fried in butter), mmmmmmmm.2 -

I have never seen this advert, maybe it was a time I was overseas but it's pretty representative of our advertising, ha! See also Dime bars and armadillos, Yeo Valley rappers..........3 -
I love out adverts. That's one of the better ones!0

Best. Thread. Ever!!!!!
I'm supposed to have started making my tea half an hour ago and instead have been giggling on the sofa. That's dinner btw rather than hot drink!

Question for Carlos re the pasty -> haven't you had empenadas? It's basically the same concept (at least the way my wife makes them) - a pastry shell stuffed with savory ingredients, the big difference is that we fry them instead of baking them...0

Sorry! IRS dudes reading this, Carlos is a fine upstanding citizen and pays his taxes, and it unlikely to be exporting tacos to the UK. In no way did he coerce me into writing this.

I've ever had empanadas.

My mental health has been awful recently. I turn to childhood comfort foods often during these times. Couple of weeks ago I got several tins of Ambrosia creamed rice and ate straight from the tin. Heaven! Not as good as my own proper homemade stuff but a little taste of childhood nostalgia that can't be beat.2 -

I was actually surprised at some of the memories that were coming back as I made it. It's so easy to remember the bad things. Cooking it reminded me of my mom making it when we were kids, and her explaining that the cap on the vanilla extract was a teaspoon. I have never actually measured it, I have just always used it as a teaspoon measure. Logically I know it's not, considering how many different sizes of containers (and therefore lids) are manufactured. We used to do a lot of baking together, mostly cookies.
ETA: I hope you manage to turn the corner soon.2 -
I'm from south africa. I regularly enjoy homemade scones. Reading this and feeling for some scones now 0
