  I've always thought that chicken parmo thing sounds yummy, too bad I've never been in the right area to try one...it's from the north east, right?

  Grew up in Essex Have you tried the wonderful exotic treat that is bread pudden?

  
  No, I just remember my grandparents saying pudden. They were from Suffolk.:D

  Hello American person. The only two of the British Foods I have eaten from the list are Cullen Skink, which I have no memory of, and Scouse, which is a local dish to me, living as I do on the other side of the river from Liverpool. Another one they could have added is Tripe and Onions which is horrible!

  
  Cullen Skink is smoked haddock chowder - usually made with potato and cream. Its rather yummy, and nothing to do with a Skink which was my first thought when I came across it on a menu.

  You can actually buy Rumbledethumps in Sainsburys. My brother pointed it out to me in the shop the other day. I'd never heard of it before. https://www.google.com/search?q=sainsburys+rumbledethumps&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=EgVMUcLEAoikPZqOgOAC&biw=1173&bih=611&sei=FAVMUZHTM4HBOMmIgcgN

  
  Sainsbury's were selling them at one point, not sure if they still do.

  Only ever heard of 4 & 17.
  
  I wouldn't mind trying, and it's not on your list, but deep-fried pizza or a deep-fried chocolate bar.

  
  Deep-fried Oreos are simply amazing. They taste like a chocolate funnel cake.

  I've tried 5 of them and they were all either very bland or just plain revolting!
