Mouse always hears people talking smack about British food (and frankly agrees in the black pudding area). But look at these lovely and delicious tidbits she got to munch on in London:
Hot pies. What is the difference between a pie and a pasty?
Salt beef. I know it looks sort of weird, but the bagel is more like a pretzel roll, and there is this incredible hot mustard in there--this may be Mouse's second favorite food-to-be-eaten-standing-up of all time.*.jpg)
Tea and crumpets. Why don't we have teatime over here? I'm going to start arbitrarily sitting down for a formal teatime, with crumpets.
And, of course, fish and chips. But these are mushy peas. Mushy peas, where have you been all my life?* Mouse's very favorite street food are the hot sausages in Prague's Wenceslas Square, best consumed between 11:30 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

Yum, I do like mushy peas.
I have never had a problem with british food. Fried dinners with lots of meat and potatoes. Desserts with custard poured all over them. Afternoon tea. I'm in love.
I also happen to love the sausages in Prague and agree that they are best eaten after quite a few beers.
pasties are folded over, pies have a lid. Unless it was a rhetorical question, but I refuse to treat questions about British food rhetorically. It's great. Especially tea and cake.

No, thanks, Monk! I was genuinely curious. I think I like both pies and pasties, then.
I might also like the naughtier and inedible American version of pasties.
