Maybe our bland British food lacks that unique residue of cattle growth hormone ?

I had biscuits and gravy in the US……..is was basically a sort of savoury scone and anaemic looking think gravy.

I struggle to see how you cannot make pulled pork and pizza, both made in the UK.
I am not keen on the additives, many banned here, that are in US food and find they are often top heavy with sugar.

We don ‘t eat biscuits and gravy. Biscuits are sweet and go with a cup of tea. Perhaps that is why you are having difficulty .

Are you trying to sell something?

I've been on a bit of a mission lately trying to recreate some of the classic American dishes I grew up loving, but I’ve found that some ingredients or even the exact methods just aren't common here in the UK (or wherever the majority of Gransnet users are).

I'm thinking of things like perfect, fluffy biscuits and gravy, real slow-cooked barbecue pulled pork, or a proper Chicago deep-dish pizza.

What American comfort food do you adore, but struggle to find or make correctly? And does anyone have any secret tips or recipes for getting that authentic American flavour using ingredients available here? I'd love to hear your experiences!
