As I’ve said in the comments above, yes, I know refrigerators have changed. Yes, I know there’s more ice. Then again, when I was back at Pizza Express last year, my Diet Coke came with two or three lonely ice cubes floating in the glass. So no, I’d say England — part of the United Kingdom Of Great Britain & Northern Ireland — still doesn’t really get the whole ice thing in the way Americans do.

That’s fine. I never wrote this to suggest that Americans with our apparently fat asses that you describe requiring fat ass refrigerators — you know, “American-style” refrigerators — somehow knew better than Brits. Nor was I suggesting that people shouldn’t experience other cultures or other foods.

It was simply a post for Americans who might be occasionally wanting some candy from home, and a few other food tips. It was written from the perspective of an American who lived in Britain — and lived there for a long-time, who has a British wife and two half-British kids.

A family, I’ll add, that still enjoys “British” thinks despite living in American now, like decent British bacon or Cadbury’s or Bourbon Cremes. They can enjoy those things without having been seen as anti-American and not getting into the culture, in the same way anyone in any country can enjoy that country despite the occasional hankering for home.

And now, because I’m tired of repeatedly answering the same things over and over again, I’m just turning off the comments.
