I love Jay Rayner -wish we could get this in the UK -fingers crossed!

This is usually my favourite Mcflurry of the year!!

We have creme eggs here all year round - and the new twisted creme egg bars which are fabulous!

I have honey, lemon and ginger and a couple of cloves with hot water, my husband always insists on adding a good splash of whiskey to that if he's got a cold! He is also quite addicted to Jakemans cough sweets - I'm quite partial to the cherry flavour myself, he prefers the aniseed ones http://www.jakemans.com/home.ashx

We are coming to NY in a month and I am already dreaming of eating here. The pizza looks WAY better than anything we get in the UK! I really want to try brussel sprout pizza. Great pictures!

This is a really great animation! Although I was shocked at the cupcake nudity ;)

I've always been led to believe that icing (icing sugar and water/lemon juice) is what we have on top of fairy cakes in the UK and frosting (buttercream/cream cheese frosting etc) is what is on top of cupcakes or between the layers of layer cakes!

My husband refuses to accompany me to Ikea unless he has meatballs and gravy in the cafe there! We usually buy some meatballs and gravy mix to take home so we can recreate this at home, however here in the UK they have stopped selling the sauce for some reason. We are coming to NY in March so I may have to go to the nearest Ikea and stock up on it!

I really like the coconut ball cakes from their grocery store too - not sure if you get them in the US - they're little round balls or chocolatey goodness covered in coconut. And I ALWAYS have to stock up on Dime bar there - yummy!

I think I shold buy this for my husband as he loves donner kebabs so much! In the UK donner kebabs come in pitta, the ones we've had in Germany are much nicer though as I love the bread they come with! Our gyro we had in the States was not so good - too much garlic sauce which I didn't enjoy! Hoping to try a decent one after a few drinks in NY in March!

@London_Janice - I would try to set up a business but I think I'd end up eating them all before posting! I sent these to friend in the States regularly as she cannot get them there - they are by far my favourite sweet! Maybe we need to set up a Serious Eats food exchange!

I've stopped going into M&S as I really am trying to wean myself off these!

I check it at lunchtime at work and also in the evenings when I'm at home! due to the time difference between the US and UK I like to check I dont miss any posts!

I have rapidly become addicted to Serious Eats!

I saw mention of a veggie haggis and had to say TRY IT! Its great! Although I grew up in Scotland I've never been able to stomach trying meat haggis due to the smell but I adore the veggie one and we have it with neeps and tatties every Burns Night without fail!

My husband recommends the meat one from Coburns in Dingwall (my home town...also suppliers of the haggis at Madonnas wedding to Guy) which he can only eat when I'm away for a couple of days with work or he has to put up with me retching throughout the house!

If you're going to Scotland to try food I also recommend butteries and macaroni pies! oh and macaroons and tablet if you're sweet toothed!

Sometimes there's nothing nicer than a good snakebite and black - my youth was spent making really strong snakebite n black and freezing it into a slush - yummy!

@Chrismc - I had weiss bier in Germany made with banana juice and I've never tasted anything so gross - maybe I should've tried it in a stout!

Ribena is a lovely squah - I have a fantastic cuddly ribena berry sitting on top of my work computer - when you squish it is does the wuhu sound of ribena berrys!
