It's the flavour, the packaging, and the smell that lingers on your fingertips long after eating. <3

Ninety per cent of British meals can be eaten on toast, which means we take our bread very seriously. However, when you're travelling it can be hard to find a loaf that tastes like home. Foreign bread can be too processed and sweet, or just falls apart too easily – so pass the Hovis!

Good clotted cream tastes fresh, buttery, and rich in flavour, and without it scones would be obsolete.

We need our cheese sarnies with a good dollop of Branston.

British chocolate is far superior to any other chocolate but especially American chocolate, which is too sweet, chalky, and, let's be honest, barely passes as chocolate.

Love it or hate it, you sure end up missing it! There are two versions of Marmite, a British version and a New Zealand version, and they are most definitely not the same. In fact, New Zealand Marmite is said to have a “less tangy” flavour than the British variety. Ours is just better.

It's an ongoing debate between the UK and the US: Who has better bacon? American bacon is streaky and pretty much burnt to a crisp, whereas British bacon is juicy and smothered in layers and layers of fat and oh my god it's just the best.

It's a classic combination, and one you end up missing dearly.

The best tea-dunking biscuits.

Fish 'n' chips are pretty much part of our DNA. The dish even played a part in the D-day landings, when British soldiers identified each other by crying out out "fish" and waiting for the response of "chips". History and amazing food all wrapped up in one!

Pasties, sausage rolls, steak bakes, pies – it's basically heaven.
