Fish and chips need to be consumed by the sea in the UK ONLY.
Desporados (cheap beer with tequila flavouring) must be drunk in Spain.
Mulled wine can only be consumed at Christmas and preferably at a church / school do.
boiled sweets are only for car journeys.

I'm not overly keen on tea, but if I've been out and had a cooked breakfast a cup of tea tastes amazing with the breakfast.
I have no idea why 😀

Crackers and cheese at a party or gathering taste amazing. Nicest thing you could ever eat! Sat at home on your own it’s so dull. Same goes for a triangle cheese sandwich at a buffet vs a plain cheese sandwich at home at lunch time

Eating crisps (Lays usually) straight out of a family sized bag while sitting on the balcony in your towel after a shower and having had a full day in the sun on holiday.

Gin and Tonic on the plane to said holiday.

Disaronno and ice on Christmas Eve/day.

A meat pie eaten scalding hot out of the foil tray - only at a football match on a freezing cold winter day, warms you up inside and out.
I’d never choose to eat one anywhere else.

I used to live hear a pie factory, pies so hot the jelly in the port ones are still liquid are a food you have to experience.

Pork not port, but a port pie could be interesting.

Fanta lemon and orange only in Spain. Sometimes on their own, sometimes mixed together with ice and in a pint glass. It’s just different in Spain.

A munchie box from our local chippy after you’ve been to the pub and had a few. It’s disgusting but hits the spot when you’ve had a drink.
