You have them in Chicago but they are called 'Euros' in the US.

I tend to veer towards Italian and Indian food by preference. Although the problem with Indian food is that it either takes you forever to make (unless you cook 8 gallons in bulk and have a BIG freezer!) or you get it from the takeaway and it makes you fat.

What I make at home tends to be very vague dishes with no one place of origin - usually some form of meat (like a chicken kiev) with some steamed veg. Or with sweet potatoes. Or I make "vegetable splat" (a vegan friend's term) and put it on a baked potato. I very rarely make definitive "English food." Quite apart from anything else, a lot of it is quite stodgy, so you wouldn't want it too often.

Some pies are OK.... Wow - look at my unreserved pride in my national dishes.... some pies are OK... lol

I think if I were in America I'd love the availability of good mexican food, but I don't like big steaks or ribs or anything like that... I'd definitely miss curry if you're missing curry!
But you can get curry in the US too.
We eat occasional roast dinner (usually at my parents).Quite a lot of fish and loads of veg and salads. But I am a devil for the odd nice bit of pork or steak and kidney pie or fruit crumble and custard and I would give my right arm for a really moist boozey christmas pudding!

Hahahahahahaha!!! Well..people get excited about Mexican food in the U.S. May I become excited about doner kebabs in England?

I think of doner kebabs and curry stands as being part of the British food culture. They're like McDonalds.

I've got a layover in Istanbul and cannot wait to stuff myself silly with doner kebabs.

If it will make you feel better, I miss real fish and chips.

I think Chicken Tikka Masala is heaven on a plate. Also am a big fan of fish and chips... so long as the fish is light on the breading. Shepherd's pie is pretty tasty as well. Overall, I like British food, it's all very comfort foodesque.
