Basic food is my fave. You can stuff all the fancy dishes.
Why isn't there a cooking show where they have basic food like pie & chips, bangers & mash etc?
Because the producers of TV shows are the poncey bastards who keep froggy cuisine restaurants afloat.

Delia famously demonstrated how to make a shepherd's pie from tinned mince and frozen mash potato

HP is sold in most American supermarkets. There's usually a small selection of British stuff like HP, Branston Pickle, Jaffa Cakes, etc.
I buy my stuff online because the stores tend to sell a tiny glass bottle of HP for about $4. For a few bucks more you can get one of those huge squeezable ones.
I'll have to give it a try. We have Wegmans stores where I live and they have a large British section. My kids loved Hob Knobs (sp.?) and Jaffa Cakes. I think I've seen HP.
Wegmans is a great store. I approve.

Do they sell your book, by any chance?

I wish! 
If my books were to sell in America I'd be well wedged up. Tescos don't even sell my book alas.
Yet.

Your kids are smart.
Why yes, yes they are. Their favourite meal is shepherd's pie and chocolate milkshakes.
Can I come round for dinner one night?
Well, find yourself a way across the Atlantic and I'll set an extra place at the table.
Cool.

Make your own f**king sandwiches then!
Right. so far I've got to show you Total Recall and give you a bacon sandwich. (That you've made yourself so you know nothing crawled in.)
