[hijack] Go to Chicago the hot dog capital of the universe. You can get peppers, cukes, onions, mustard, pickels etc. [byjack]

More useful things for masking the nasty taste of the hot dog itself. I suppose I could also try maple syrup (although I don’t like that either).

Now a good bratwurst - that’s an entirely different matter. No ketchup to bespoil that.

I seem to remember there being a meal of sorts in Northern Ireland, somewhat akin to the French le goûter, if I’m remembering my French classes at school. Something about bread and jam as a snack of sorts. It might be our version of the “Apres Lunch” from the list Mangetout listed, or maybe just tea 🙂

Those appear to be Serbian imposters.

Speaking as the wife of a Born-n-Bred Northerner (Yorkshire), those imposter Jaffa cakes are apparently just as good as the real ones according to 'imself. And for some reason they tend to be less stale when we get them over here too.
