    oh yes, i'm going to miss bacon rolls with brown sauce. i do like american bacon, but you can't do the same things with it. But my substitute will be french toast with bacon instead. That I can live with :)

    I know..I thought american bacon seemed really fatty..It sort of has more fat than it actually does bacon..

    I think the term for there bacon i guess is Streaky bacon?? ???

    they always seem to burn their bacon to a crisp, well when i saw it anyway. bacon is best when its...you know...the opposite of burnt. not that it affects me anymore since i stopped eating meat! but american bacon was disappointing

    i think i tried a bite of someones ages ago, it was horrible!!!! i cant understand why someone would eat that!! the preztels in the park are something else too. seriously, how much salt do people want?! its clearly to make you thirsty so you buy more drinks but it gets to the point, like with the pretzel we had, that after a coulpe of bites you just have to chuck it away and so dont need a drink! backfired :)

    Apparently you can make jerky yourself..Its involves things like using a fan and stuff tho apparently! Sounds abit technical if you ask me!

    I tell everyone tho, like i already have..Get yourself to Bennigans near Vista Way..Its sooo nice, if i wanted any meal in the world it would be from there!

    I think i should do promotions for them, because that place is just amazing! haha..

    why is everyone thinking about the food that your going to miss and not thinking about the food which we'll be able to get!!

    bring on the lucky charms... hersheys kisses... IHOP (internation house of pancakes!!), lays crisps, mountain dew and the tom & jerry jelly!! which is just to die for...

    but even though i am a northern lass and like my traditional foods such as homemade yorks puds, mushy peas and curry sauce afta a night out on the piss.. i am sad to say that i will miss my most favourite of favourite foods... JAFFA CAKES!!!

    nothing beats a jaffa cake esp dipped in a mug of hot choc!! esp the mcvities and not the cheap horrible tasting cadburys which are always a pound in iceland!!!

    omg bring it on.....

    Yeah..I agree..Apart from the fact of lays..You can get them in england! haha..

    IHOP though..They do a burger thats so close to competiting with Bennigans..Both are absolutely amazing..

    I agree tho, food in america is so food..Unhealthy..But amazing at the same time..

    Anyone been to golden corral? Its an All you can eat steakhouse sort of thing..Thats pretty awesome 2!

    Have a think about the packaging!

    Have you heard of Walkers? A small running crisp company in England? haha..

    Yeah, for some reason in England there called Walkers..But everywhere else in the world there called Lays!! :-\

    I could live in Tony Roma's. The baby back ribs are to die for and the sauce is amazing. I found another rib place out at lakeland which also had an awesome sauce called smokey bones, it's near the big best buy out there. It's wonderful too.

    But I could also just eat at subway everyday. Alas there isn't one near me at home as I don't live in a university town! So my nearest right now is half an hour away.

    Oh and sbarro pizza is <3<3

    Ah but there is a difference! Lay crisps are kind of thinner and, imho, not as tasty. Plus they do have different flavours. And the flavours that are the SAME taste different. We have more flavours here anyway.

    How I'm going to live without Sensations is beyond me...

    walkers is alright!!
    but lays are better, they are more delicous!! i always find walkers to greasy to handle...

    Have you worked at disney before linsey?

    If not do you know that they have subways in the cafe's back stage? They are half the price of what they are in england as well!

    Oh my god...IHOP. Me and my mate managed to steal at least 3 mugs from there, one of which sits proudly on my shelf. Gotta love those pancakes.

    AND Golden Corral!!! Went there for dinner on my last night, sooooooo much food mmmmmmmmmmmmm. No wonder I coudln't get drunk after ;)

    My favourite place was TGI Friday's tho. Soooooooooooo good and SO SO cheap compared to the UK!!! Over here it's outrageously expensive.

    yeah. I heard there were subways. and the prices here do kinda suck. but i think they're likely cheaper than burger king half the time anyway too! I have a horrible feeling i'll be eating meatball subs til they come out my ears.

    They do a chicken parmesan sandwich in Subway in America..It doesn't really compare to the chicken parmesans where i live up north..

    But for a sandwich its pretty nice! I think i must have had every type they had..I even bought steak and cheese one day and i hate them pepper things they have in them!
