All the fast food chains are crap. Compare food here vs US it's mind blowing. I am jealous :(

Yes the fish and chips are nice especially the ones located by the sea side, they are fresh and not frozen. I honestly can't think of anything... that's all really lol. Most brits eat microwave food aka process food, it's disgusting.

Wegmans sushi, some kind of Asian dumplings, and some kind of sweetish vegetable juice. The juice had a lot of beets in it, so it kind of tasted like dirt, but it was still pretty good. I especially liked the dumplings.

Well, you should cook. I'm smoking 6 kilogram USDA Prime beef brisket tomorrow. That's going to be about 8 to 10 hour cook.

How are the grocery stores, are they as fully-stocked as America's are? Is cooking well at home an option?

Most grocery stores are fully stocked I guess. What do you mean though? Like fresh fruit and veg? Sea food is a no no hardly any fresh sea food in the UK. It's kinda sad because my favourite type of food is seafood :(

Got tonight's dinner in the Big Kamado Joe. USDA Prime packer brisket rubbed with olive oil and Trader Joe's BBQ Rub & Seasoning with Coffee and Garlic. Also added Montreal Steak Seasoning. Using Kamado Joe hardwood charcoal and some hickory wood chunks as fuel. Now I'm going to drink some coffee and make some breakfast. Kirkland thick sliced hickory smoked bacon, eggs, potatoes, and some waffles.

Sea food is expensive in the UK. Trust me I'm a good cook.
Ummm. I live here and I cooked that lot.
Live mussels and cockles are pretty cheap. Crabs also are cheap here. Wet fish you just have to go with what's been caught that morning.

If you're a good cook then you should be able to work with what's available. We're an island surrounded by sea, go find some seafood.
