If you are in the Southern U.S., try what they call “country ham.” Closest thing to British bacon you’ll find here.

Most of the American food unpleasantness can be avoided by hanging out with food snobs like me, and frequenting snobby food markets. No “foodie” I know would stoop to Hershey’s, the chocolate of the masses, which tastes like chocolate-flavored wax to me, due to the low cocoa butter content. Also, I don’t particularly like hoppiness, so I tend to avoid most ales and stick with “micro-brew” or artisinal lagers, stouts and porters. Also, nearly any decent place (at least in Boston) will at least have Guinness on tap, if not several selections that aren’t Budweiser or some other swill. I can find actual UK cheese and cultured butter in my local supermarket, but we have lots of expat Irish.

You do realize that New York City isn’t representative of the entire United States, right? Also, our tastes are usually formed by what we grew up on. Therefore to you, and to many posters, British food may in fact be superior. However, to Americans, the varieties found in the States are much better than their equivalents across the pond.
Basically, I’m tired of people always bashing each other’s countries.

Actually, no. If you’ve ever had British beef you would know it tastes markedly different, which is not due to hormones or chemicals.

Wow, this is really rude. We don’t insult your foods. Tap water taste changes all over the country. Hey, it changes all over this town alone. Don’t be rude.
