Is this offal, or what? Maybe it would be a good idea to check out The Best of British, the American's guide to speaking British, before ordering pub grub or going to market in England.

In English supermarkets you will see a sign in the meat aisle with "offal" on it. In Texas it is referred to as organ meat - yuck! In the UK we love it. The most common offal is liver and kidney. My American friends tell me that offal is not eaten in the US. Maybe they should check out the ingredients of their hot dogs!

One can only imagine how unappetizing it might sound to an Englishman in America, when he's first offered a hot dog on a bun. Awful. You might think about that, if you're asked in England, "Would you like a pint of bitter with some bangers and mash, and mushy peas?"

And, don't get your knickers in a bunch when the barman asks if you like faggots. Reply with confidence, "I rather fancy 'em." You won't be disappointed. Take a look at these creative TV Adverts for Mr. Brain's. Cheeky panda!

Americans who want to learn all about Britain, and expats who miss the telly, can now watch BBC America, featuring The Office. Wickedly funny.
