What about actual waffles. Do you guys do waffles here? Butter, syrup, etc? Most seaside resorts do the waffle you speak of. I'm more of a donut fan myself, traditional, none of that Dunkin crap |

Haha. SWEET waffles.
Golden brown. Large. Maple syrup. Maybe some fruit. Powdered sugar. Whipped cream perhaps.
Also no biscuits with sausage gravy. Not the biscuits you’re likely thinking of, but OUR biscuits. Google American biscuits and gravy.
BBQ. Slow smoked brisket so tender it droops on the fork. Pulled pork. Collard greens. Cornbread. Bbq beans (not the sweet kind that taste like the sauce is ketchup based.
I’ve found myself wondering how that type of restaurant would do here. Went to a place called Moose Coffee that offered American breakfasts because we were curious, turns out it’s run by Canadian folks who got close in some spots, but still off. Wondering if it’s them or they just adjusted to taste.
Not a lot of Mexican food here either, which is to the US what Indian food is here. Also learned that “Asian” here is India/Pakistan etc, whereas in the US would mean Japan/China etc.
By the way none of this is me having a go at the cuisine here, as a matter of fact the wife had me buy some tins to make proper crumpets when we get home (not English muffins)……I’m just a food obsessive. Great way to learn culture, food.

BBQ wise people seem to like Hickory’s Smokehouse although I’ve never been, and there’s Reds True BBQ and Meatliqor in Leeds which used to be ok. |

What about actual waffles. Do you guys do waffles here? Butter, syrup, etc? Not really, they were a thing for a while in the 80’s, there was a chain of roadside restaurants called Little Chef where you’d get them. Only waffles which are relatively common place are frozen potato ones 😝 Little Chef. Memmmmorieeeeeeesssss. They went bust after overexpanding and not modernising. Like Wimpy? |

Let me ask: what did you think when you tried biscuits and gravy I've tried it once and that was enough 🙃. The 'gravy' is awful, although I quite like your biscuits as they're just savoury scones. I ended up eating with butter and jam (jelly), just like a scone 🤣. |

Does seem bizarre to me that it's still going, I've not been in for around 30 years and don't recall anybody I know ever mentioning going in. It's also just around the corner from McDonalds. Must be money laundering for the local drugs trade or something. A quick check of their website says Huddersfield has one of only 59 restaurants still existing, and is the only one in West Yorkshire. |

Most Wimpy’s were acquired by Burger King many, many years ago, primarily, I would’ve thought, for their locations. I think Huddersfield and a couple of other places were independently owned and have never shut. Fond memories of Wimpy in the late70s/early 80s but either my tastebuds are now more sophisticated or, more likely, the quality just isn’t the same but a nostalgia trip quite a few years ago was very, very forgettable. Horrible. |

Root beer floats, are they what we used to call ice cream sodas, scoops of ice cream in a glass of pop? Loved them as a kid |

We had wimpy way before McDonald's I think, was around in the early 80s. It's a franchise in the UK I think so a fair few still going strong but tend to be smaller. I might be mistaken but I seem to remember it was a big wimpy back in the day and it was on the corner opposite Kingsgate way before Kingsgate was a thing and before McDonald's was there in it's original location. On the biscuits and gravy thing, how is that even a dish?! In stark contrast to the rest of the food over there, probably the only thing I didn't really enjoy! |
