Really good fish and chips, or maybe bangers and squeak.

When I was younger, Americans always used to tell me they wished they had the NHS. Things have changed quite a lot, though.

@GlassDog: NHS is worse but still better than the hideous ripoff that is the american medical/health system

@firefall: It's crazy when you look at the raw figures. One of the best healthcare systems in the world is the French system. They spend more than we British, but they spend less than America, and have a much better system.

America is paying enough to have the best healthcare systems in the world. I'm not entirely sure why you don't.

@GlassDog: Well start by skimming one third of health care spending off to profits for health insurance companies; then another third(ish) to for-profit healthcare providers in monopoly markets, and all of a sudden it becomes clear why the healthcare is rubbish if you're not rich, and why nurses & staff get so poorly paid compared to Europe.

@Groofydorkgerdo: do you have bakeries? Pubs and fish and chips are lovely :)

@Paleandpolluted86: We do, bakeries of all kinds, Spanish bakeries British bakeries, swedish bakeries. When it comes to pastry and or bread, the U.S. has a lot, I mean A L O TVof people.from around the world opening up bakeries here.
And restaurants in general for that matter.
But good fish and chips only a handful of places I know of, most of wight are way to expensive and or to far away.
