You obviously haven't been to Arizona or Colorado, two great States that
feature Earl's Restaurants.  And the next time you're anywhere near New
York State, another *Canadian* restaurant has made some inroads...
Swiss Chalet.  Then they're "Joey's Seafood".  They've got the biggest
US Market penetration of any "Canadian" restaurant (they even have one
in Florida).  And no...  none of them feature Polar Bear testicles
which, by the way I have had.  Well... not *real* Polar Bear.  There's a
pub in Yellowknife that served a cubed chicken dish they call "Polar
Bear testicles" many years ago.  Don't know if they're still around.  :-)

As for "British fair", I've always enjoyed their pub food.  Cornish
pasties for one (spiced meat wrapped in pastry and not the "stick-ons"
Roger's thinking Cornish girls wear instead of bras).  If you've ever
had fish 'n chips, you're enjoying "British food" particularly when they
use beer in the batter (a specialty of the "Joey's" mentioned in the
previous paragraph) - yumm!  Then there's "bangers and mash" (spiced
sausage and mashed potatoes).  If you have the "real thing" in a pub,
they'll serve it with "mushy peas" which I just can't stand.  :-)
