Authentic British pub
Someone has said here recently that the British in America don't have British whatevers akin to Thai restaurants.
Somewhere in the western reaches of Los Angeles County there's an "authentic British pub" (or words to that effect). I suspect there are others in other parts of the US.
I read somewhere that a lot of the pubs in England have been remodeled to make them look like what tourists expect British pubs to look like, so it's no longer easy to find an authentic British pub in England. Let's be thankful there's one in Los Angeles County.

My local British tea-room doesn't sell Tandoori powder, so I suspect its bona-fides.

[nq:1](How can people eat a snack with hair?)[/nq]
Quite. You're not meant to eat them. You're supposed to reassemble the pig and win a prize. (The hair is a big help.)

There was an 'authentic British pub' in Merced as long ago as 1973 or 1974. Or perhaps it was in Fresno - it was in the dusty one-storey two
