Lemon merangue rocks but I love cheesecake too. but for me it has to be really soft and have a really thick buttery gram cracker crust. I don't usually like stuff mixed in, but fruity pie filling on top is good.

Reverse culinary colonization. That's gotta hurt ya.

Lemon Meringue is better than cheesecake of any variety.

Although it could be sold to America, it will later be sold to China or Belgium. Either way, we promise to keep as much lead out of the eggs as possible.

NOOOOO! Dont tempt me with that Lemon Meringue! Our versions are but inferior copies!!! *drools*

US pie > UK pie

UK sweets > US "candy"

That is a principle etched in granite.

God, I need to get back to the US for some of that Lemon Meringue...

Key Lime Pie.

Deep fried creme eggs.

My mum makes really nice Lemon Meringue, and she is as English as apple pi... wait a second...

Meh..I prefer Hershey's myself.

You know, we DO have Cadbury produced in the US with the same recipe.

in case you were wondering.

I didn't even know they had them in the USA. I thought we'd have spared you this particular horror.

Not only do we have them, but they already messed around with them. Hershey's decreased the size of the Creme Egg in America around 2003-2004 by ~20-30%. There was a large amount of complaining that year. Hershey's roundly denied it(they actually had on their website: "No they haven't gotten smaller, you've gotten bigger.") until an American actor proved it on the Daily Show by comparing the new egg with an egg from the previous year(he freezes Easter candy every year to have a year round supply).

I have a feeling if they get bought out, you Brits will be getting the new smaller US size as the standard.

Ironic, as Hershey's is the US producer of Cadbury candies.
