rolling on the floor in hysterics at the idea of British food being categorised as 'ethnic'. There's gotta be some other word which describes the absolute lack of the exotic, characteristic of most British food!!! Maybe it's time to add a new word to the dictionary. I'll work on that.

I would suggest Sparrow, that a good Yorkshire pudding is still worth having, though it may still not be what you expect. I've come across Americans who look on British cookery with a sort of weird nostalgia (it goes with describing anything English as 'quaint') and then get badly disappointed by the real thing. If I were to look at a 'yorkie' I really would struggle to tell any non-Brit why we bother, but I love them!

Thanks for the giggle Becky!
