I'm gonna be in bongistan for 2 months soon, I've been several times before but not for long.
What food should I try? What kind of alcohol and snacks should I get?

Buy about half a dozen croissants from a supermarket, but when you get to the self-service checkout, just tell the machine it's one bread roll and you don't want to bag the item. Proper British grub that.

>>12550316
>no bacon in your pies tho
Why would anyone put bacon in a pie to begin with? You're just going to ruin the texture. No one thinks about the texture.

American here who was spent a lot of time in the UK:

If you like salt and vinegar chips, try pickled onion monster munch (or basically any other pickled onion flavor snack)

As far as chocolate goes, Cadbury is an obvious go-to. I also love crunchie bars.

On a Sunday, stop by a local pub and have their Sunday roast. Always a tasty, hearty meal. Be weary, most pubs are being bought out by major chains. Try to find one that is independently owned and not some Greene king trash.

The cheapest way to get shitty in the UK is probably Crumpton Oaks Pear Cider? It was like £2 for a liter from what I recall. Doesn't taste too horrible either.

Other miscellaneous shit I enjoy: Cornish pastys, Scotch Eggs, Pimm's, Branston and Piccalilli pickle, White Stilton (Blue Stilton tastes like a rotting corpse), Bangers and Mash, Eton mess.

Fish and chips, like most popular memes, isn't all it is hyped up to be. Otherwise, the UK gets a bad rep despite having some pretty, hearty, unpretentious fare.

I make those sort of things here in Miami. I needed a sharper knife for my cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches last week but still tasted good! Nice summer food.

I enjoy some of the more polarizing British foods, blue Stilton isn't one of them. I do not drink soda, but I'm struggling to find the dichotomy between a palate for sweetness and a palate for rot.

Also sometimes have an afternoon tea. Clotted cream is super easy to make (if you can find the right milk) and scones are nice and quick too. I prefer loose leaf tea but didn't have any that day.

Going for a nice traditional kebab or maybe change of pace and get a lamb vindaloo. Enjoy a nice time at the Mosque and then smoke shisha with the local populace.

Doesn't sound terribly satisfying. I find mixing meats is generally a touch redundant, like more than one carb in a meal, IE, rice and potatos. There are exceptions of course.

you realise that stilton and some other cheese contain putrescine and cadaverine, the very same chemicals which give rotting flesh their odour?

It's weird, I love blue cheese most of the time but that dude is definitely right. There is something horribly off about it that just nauseates me sometimes. Just depends how settled my stomach is and what mood I'm in that day. Kinda the same with coriander, I can taste the soapy bitterness that some people taste, most of the time I enjoy it anyway and sometimes I don't.

If he has the time, it's perfectly possible to go and visit the distilleries where it's made. The vast majority of them in the Highlands and Islands will welcome visitors, and they sometime have items for sale in their distilery shop that they don't sell anywhere else.

I think scotch eggs and pork pies are so low because most people experience the horrible cheapo ones you get in supermarkets.

Kippers and black pudding I'm putting down to being "dad foods" and therefore poorly cooked and overenthusiastically hyped.

Perhaps, but you aren't just telling the police, are you? It'll be the paramedics and if you call an ambulance your call handler will be talking you through the first aid. You can be on the phone and do other things, like, for instance, washing hydrochloric acid off of someone's face and chest.
