Or head up to Canada and find a Marks & Spencer's frozen food case NOW!

I want to start up the barbeque! Okay, it's 10 pm, cold and wet but I do have a British passport. ;-)

Hey, deep fried Mars bars in batter. A Glasgow delicacy!

I think Terry Pratchett's right in his Discworld series when he talks of 'regional delicacies' as being foods nobody from anywhere else would like ;-)

Or mustard on a pretzel? (Gets in the way of the beer!)

I've heard there are people here doing the same with 3 Musketeers bars. They may be the same bar but different name.

Yeah, on fries. But Vinegar on CHIPS is good...

Salad Cream or Tomato Ketchup is better though...

Peanut butter and ayonaise on white bread...

...dunked in milk.

But not since high school. :-)

Trapped in our apartment during college by flooded streets. Nothing to drink but dark rum and root beer. Funny part was when the upstairs hippy got her cat stoned and it fell down the stairs. OK, funny at the time and after far too many rum and root beers.

Strange thing I discovered on holiday in the USA was that a British Mars Bar is a US Milky Way and a British Milky Way is a US Mars Bar... :-()! In Stirling (Scotland) I bought a burger and chips from a sidestreet takeaway (McDs was closed!) and got a burger in batter?! Tasted nice though.

We don't have M&S in Canada any more - they left the country a couple of years ago. (I haven't been able to find any other place to buy either Bourbon Cream biscuits or jelly babies... )

What, there's some other way to eat them?
