I've tried Marmite and actually like it as an alternative to peanut butter on toast! The key is to spread it VERY thin.

I studied in Birmingham for a year, and when the group I was with was on the way back to the states, all we could talk about was what foods we were excited to eat. I do miss the snacks there though - cookies/biscuits, fish and chips for sure, and also the baguette shops with the jacket potatoes. Mmmmm....

At home I don't like fried eggs, but I love them in England! Complete with bacon, toast and baked beans! It's something about that particular combination...
Last trip over, a friend took us up to Whitby for the fish and chips! It was wonderful! My niece (who hates fish) even had fish and chips "for the experience!"

I adore English food - Scones, Pasties, Clotted Cream and the vast assortment of meat flavoured chips, er - excuse me - 'crisps' never ceases to amaze me.
The best restaurant food I ever ate in England was in a modest and unassuming pub right by Tower bridge. I've honestly never had a bad meal at a Pub. The Cafe at the Crypt was also quite tasty though, and there is a fantastic French restaurant somewhere by Covent Garden that was out of this world. Else, I did find English restaurant food a bit tasteless - but considering that a lot of American Restaurants are mediocre, it's really more a roll of the dice wherever in the world you be methinks.
(I am now so in the mood for Scones and Tea...)

Hello, fellow Ohioan!
All this talk of food makes me want to travel!! I need to stock up on Whittard's teas.
In general, I love Pub food. The best Pub meal I've had, by far, was a steak and guinness pie with mashed potatoes in Edinburgh. Oh, it was good. I was just lamenting to DH that there is no place here that serves an English breakfast. Or a good Ploughman's. I keep saying I need to open a restaurant just to get the food I want!

Whittard just had a big sale...they changed the packaging of their teas, so all the old packages were on sale for a quid for 50 tea bags. I snapped up a few.
By the way, where in Ohio are you from? I'm from Columbus. Actually going home next week for a visit.
