Mr. R, how about Peanut Butter and Dill Pickle sandwiches?
Scoots, you worry me, you really do :-)
Peanut butter and DILL???
Peanut butter is great. Dill pickles are great. But together?
Try scrambled eggs on Marmite on toast for a real treat

I'm sorry your a wimp Mr R, we like it hot and spicey here. We use a lot of green and red chili peppers you can get them in mild medium, hot or extra hot and don't forget the jalepenos. The preferred drink with BBQ here is beer.
Yes, I'm a complete wimp when it comes to hot food, but I do love a good beer or three. Enjoyed a bottle of bottle conditioned beer last night, which slipped down really well :-)

Mr. Dee, the last time I looked at Marmite, it sprouted legs and walked away. ROFLLC

Thanks AR - that was fascinating. I'm embarrassed bymy ignorance of the various American states, and love to hear such stories. I realise that Oregon is in the PNW area, but it is difficult, sometimes, for Britishers such as myself to remember that most states are bigger than the whole of the UK!
There are vineyards in the UK, but, in my limited experience, British wine is just not that good. We very much enjoy wines from around the world. Even our small supermarkets stock wines from all over Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand, South America and South Afric, so we have plenty of choice. We enjoyed Tempranillo from Spain, earlier this evening - a personal favourite.
Buffalo I have never tried, but would like to. Scottish beef is said by many to be the best in the world, but I'm certainly not going to argue about it :-)
I envy you your year round BBQs. We only manage a few a year, as the weather is just not warm enough for most of the year. It would be mid day, perhaps, but not into the evening. There are some great reasons for living in the north of Scotland, but warm evenings are not one of them :-)

<Grin> I should do ! :-)
I do enjoy a sandwich, although lunch is usually just bread and cheese. Sunday lunch is sometimes a bacon roll, or bacon sandwich.

here's a recipe for crab cakes :)
if you come to the USA and end up in Washington DC or Baltimore, buying a crab cake is the number one thing you can do...that and seeing the White House I guess...
Great recipe - thank you. Not quite what I expected. We enjoy fishcakes, which are really just a breadcrumbed fish and mashed potato combined, made into burger type shapes, and fried or baked. Crab cakes use bread instead of potato. Interesting.
My one and only visit to the US was to York PA, flying into Philly, which was a big mistake. Next time, I'll fly to Baltimore, and drive north. Why York? Plenty more to see and do, in the same area :-)

Our weather is usually mild. Not terribly warm, but not freezing except for a few scattered weeks in winter. We have a covered deck and covered barbeque, so we can put stuff out even when raining and cold, and as long as it's not a food that needs constant tending, it works out well. We have gas burners, too, for summer, so we can cook outside and not heat up the house.
I don't eat a lot of buffalo, as it's more expensive than beef, but it is like really good beef, but richer flavor and less fat.
If you can get your hands on Oregon wine, you won't be disappointed. It's growing in respect and popularity. We have great cheeses and mushrooms, too, which I forgot to mention.

I have travelled to many parts of the world spent some time in Hong Kong
and Singapore.. I like to try new dishes but cant say I am adventurous
when it comes to food..
My favouite food is french but if I had to make a choice of all the foods I have read on your posts
I would turn them all down and choose ....
Good old English fish and chips bread and butter and a lovely cup
of tea mmmm you cant beat it .......
I love fish and chips with malt vinegar. Hard to find decent ones in the U.S., though... And most places who make them don't carry malt vinegar, which is JUST NOT RIGHT.

Oregon wine sounds interesting - we usually see plenty of Californian, but I will search for Oregon.

Rags dear, where have you been, and why have you not visited the breakfast thread lately? I was just gonna send out an APB on you and I spotted you in here
I would have to disagree on the fish and chips though. I do like them, but I would swap them any day for a good Chinese or Thai meal. I just love their food. One of my best memories of living in London was a Thai restaurant quite close by where all the food was made on the premises and not a plastic box in sight!!! There's not much I miss about living in London except that you can buy any food from any country in the world at almost any time of the day or night. You don't find that in rural Scotland!!
