Well, the bacon butty looks fabulous (we call that a bacon biscuit in the US, although we'd add egg and cheese, too), but as for all those other english dishes you've talked about --YUCK!!! And octapus, tripe (that's brains), beef tongue, and sushi -- double YUCK!!! Girlfriend, I'm surprised you didn't mention chicken feet, pig's feet, or chitlin's (that's beef intestine) in your "delectable" array of American delicacies.

As for your bangers and mash, we have a similar dish here called sausauges in onion gravy that I've occasionally served for breakfast with grits (that's ground hominy) on the side.

And the American version of bread pudding is called "popovers," which we serve with roast beef.

I don't think we have anything along the lines of black pudding, THANK GOD!

I'm glad that you and D are doing OK and that you put your plans in action and they worked!
