Have a look in Sainsbury's for Mikado. It's Pocky, but they changed the name in Europe for some reason. There isn't as much variety (if any) but you can still get milk chocolate Pocky.OceanRunner said:Pocky from Japan. I read about in a magazine and was amazed by the variety.
As much as it disgusts me to say this, I think Scotland has you beat in that department. Ever seen a deep-fried "pizza"? How about a battered, deep fried "pizza". If it does turn out that the deep-fried Mars Bar is an English invention, then I apologise but still urge you to look at Scotlands appalling health record.

In England, we deep fry EVERYTHING!
I'm aware of it but to be honest, the quality there is god awful. The purple yam-flavoured ones taste like yellow piss. I'd rather go to your country and buy one of your worst rather than going back there to eat ice cream that costs about a cent. BTW, what's smaller than a cent?Fetzenfisch said:In Selecta (Philippines)
yea i think USA biscuits and possibly canadian biscuits are like british scones or similar and our biscuits are like your cookies not sure what our cookies are equivalent to thoughAerodyamic said:I've never noticed that the biscuits get soggy, but I've always had sourdough biscuits with my gravy.Spacewolf said:Gravy on biscuits sounds pretty rank wouldnt the biscuits just go all soggy or it this a different type of biscuit?Aerodyamic said:Can I wish to export something? Because I desperately wish I could explain poutine to my American friends; apparently, cheesy-fries with gravy is akin to blasphemy to most of them, but chili-cheese-fries is just another Tuesday at Taco Bell.
GRAVY GOES ON MORE THAN BISCUITS, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Okay. I feel better now. Although biscuits and gravy would fucking rock right now. Mmmmm... I can hear my arteries hardening already.

Yeah, I think this is the same issue that I had the first time I heard potato chips referred to as 'crisps'; that is, in fact, what everywhere EXCEPT North America calls them.Spacewolf said:yea i think USA biscuits and possibly canadian biscuits are like british scones or similar and our biscuits are like your cookies not sure what our cookies are equivalent to thoughAerodyamic said:I've never noticed that the biscuits get soggy, but I've always had sourdough biscuits with my gravy.Spacewolf said:Gravy on biscuits sounds pretty rank wouldnt the biscuits just go all soggy or it this a different type of biscuit?Aerodyamic said:Can I wish to export something?

In Australia and New Zealand they're called chips... which adds to the confusion as we also use the name for what north americans would call 'fries' but often with the designation 'hot' if there's any doubt in the matter.Aerodyamic said:Yeah, I think this is the same issue that I had the first time I heard potato chips referred to as 'crisps'; that is, in fact, what everywhere EXCEPT North America calls them.
