I once visited England and had lunch Salisbury on the way to Stonehenge. I tried to order a Salisbury Steak but they had never heard of it.
They were at least civil about it, don't order French Fries in France!

right, in France they are supposed to be Belgian (and honestly, Belgian fries are lots better than the French ones).
I'd really like to try one one those pockets. Here, there's a lot of choice in the supermarkets: cheese, ham or cheese and ham

That looks to be a FSR pocket sandwich.

I've still got a box of like 20 of those honey bbq pockets. They're pretty okay, especially for mres.
