Americans wouldn’t know a proper chipolata if you smacked them with one. Great Italian sausages mind.
I can, but we have to buy it from a special company in New York and it’s expensive so we tend to make big orders twice a year at about £200 each. Then I have to ration it. I did sacrifice 3 packs of chipolatas to make proper pigs in blankets for Xmas dinner but my rude family ate most of them
I follow a few expat sites and have seen recipes about making your own bacon which I might try. But nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a proper fry up in a greasy spoon caff.

American style aka streaky - yes
Canadian bacon (which is just pretentious ham) - yes
Proper British back bacon - NO

Well... hopefully after we get out of the EU and organise a bit of a trade deal with the USA, there will be more opportunity for UK food and confectionary to be sold over there...!

American-style bacon is awesome, even if it is really bad for you -- which is why they probably stopped selling it at Morrisons.
I hope if there's an America-UK trade deal post-Brexit, it includes an easier path for citizenship for Americans over here. That would be a real blessing for me and my family.
But nicko, do you really think Brexit will be done in a few weeks? I'm nearly 100 percent sure it won't happen.

We were just discussing English and Scottish food today at lunch. There's a reason we don't go out for English food, but we do Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Jamaican, Cuban, German, French, Japanese or Cajun .

We have places that sell that stuff pop up. Even get expats to run them. I think the typical American, especially Texans prefer stuff with a bit more kick. There is no shortage of "foreign" food around here. International grocery stores with products from all over the world are located in all major cities. It's just that British food just never seems to catch on.

You’d be surprised. What little stuff I can find in Kroger or World Market or what I have cooked has converted a lot of people. I had to make 12 dozen sausage rolls this holiday because of demand from friends, and family. I got very few, the brutes.
