The funny thing is, the best haggis I ever had was in Houston, Texas! That's prolly cos they cater for American taste buds in Texas. Same with pizza or Chinese. My daughter is not happy she can't get a decent pizza or Chinese in the US ... Food is prepared different everywhere to cater for what people like |

People from different parts of Europe can be just as ignorant about all of that as Americans. They get a lot of their stereotypes and misconceptions now from American TV and movies.
What's rather endeering is the way that Americans romantasise some of our culture in the same way that we see America as this exciting place from the movies. I was watching a documentary about the sixties the other week and there was a guy from one of those "British invasion" bands saying that Americans were always asking him what Liverpool was like and how they seemed to think that was where everything was happening. He said that he had never been to Liverpool himself but he had heard that it's pretty horrible and all of those people like The Beatles couldn't wait to get out of there. |

im still waiting on "how much a pint of beer costs in London" It totally varies. If you go to a Wetherspoon's pub, probably not much more expensive than out of London. If you go to a posh bar, then a lot more. |

If you go to a posh bar, then a lot more. This reminds me of the "prince and I" movie where she says "u can really taste the extra 10 pence", refering to the more expensive beer |

So, it's a Hollywood movie where they give someone that's Danish an English accent just because he's supposed to be royalty? Sounds about right.
