We really don't get much. We've got zucchini, butternut, and yellow squash. Compares to American supermarkets, it's sad. I had a hard time finding peaches at one point. But we get plenty of potatoes and beef.

Give them a go if you ever have the chance! Sloes apparently grow in quite a few places but huckleberries are are Idaho's state fruit. They grow in the mountains if I'm remembering correctly. Huckleberry ice cream is delish!Lil Reads wrote: ↑20 Jul 2018, 19:47Oops! Sorry, forgot to check where in Ireland you were living. Never had sloe or huckleberries either.

Thanks; I'll have to look for some. I think both can't grow near me, but the local grocery stores have been adding more varieties of fruit and vegetables recently so I might be able to find some soon. Now I'm thinking of the blackcurrant ice cream I had in Cornwall!Eryn Bradshaw wrote: ↑21 Jul 2018, 05:20Give them a go if you ever have the chance!

The causeway sometimes is hard to cross due to water levels with tides and rain, but if you can get across it has some lovely views and some of the buildings are open to the public. Apparently one is a restaurant, but we didn't get to stop there so I can't vouch for it. On the mainland, there were several little cafe/snack stands, but they might have been open only for the summer.Eryn Bradshaw wrote: ↑24 Jul 2018, 05:00Oh that's only about 20 minutes from St Ives.

I always have to blink and scratch my head a bit when I consider the difference between an American biscuit and a British biscuit.swoodard1 wrote: ↑24 Jul 2018, 19:51 I am american and I think apples, cornbread, bisquits are a few things we enjoy alot. An apple pie fresh made for after dinner, bisquits and sausage with eggs for morning or cornbread and beans for cold night. these are things we make in the casr iron skillets so it has an at home feel and taste.
American ones can go with most meals or even be the meal an have savory or sweet condiments (e.g. meat/gravy vs jam/jelly) whereas British ones tend to be sweet deserts or snacks (e.g. Bourbon creams or digestives).

I'm in NC originally from RI, and I have to say, I don't think there's any tea in the "sweet tea," just sugar.palilogy wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 21:42 I'm an American from NY recently moved to NC.
I will say I will always love a New York Pretzel and NY Pizza I enjoy more then the pizza I ate in Italy. (I still don't understand the knife and fork concept of eating certain food.)
In North Carolina we have amazing sweet tea, Virginia Ham and some interesting moonshine.
For pizza, I grew up on the thicker, pan style. In Rhode Island, it seemed like all the pizza places were owned/run by Greeks, so I tend to associate the best pizza with the Greeks instead of the Italians.

I think it's because corn originated here. We're taught in school how the Natives introduced "maize" to the early settlers.
