Launched around the middle of June 2006, the Englishman In America weblog is more than just a blog for my personal ramblings (although there are sure to be plenty of those). Its aim is to become a resource for all British expats living in America or Brits thinking of coming to America whether it be for work, holiday or permant residence.
It should also become a resource for anyone interested in all things British and looking to find information on this in the U.S.
I hope to eventually compile a directory list of British blogs and shopping resources amongst other things over the course of the coming months.

One of the things I find myself missing most about England is the food I grew up with and the brand name products I have come to love and trust. You never know quite how much you rely upon the ability to just walk out and buy a product until ...

Now, how this dish earned its name is anyone's guess! There are no toads and nothing to do with holes so far as I can tell either, but it is definitely a British classic which has sadly fallen somewhat out of favour in many modern households.Â

It was a brave performance in which England looked like the better side for a great portion of the match (maybe a little bias there but not much...probably) but ultimately they fell to an under-stength Portugese side missing two of their star players after that ridiculously refereed match against Holland left ...

One of the first things my now brother-in-law offered when we first met was to warm up a beer for me as all his were 'unfortunately' chilled.
I naturally declined because, opposed to popular myth, the English do not, and never have had, any kind of a penchant for warm beer! When ...

Sunday just wouldn't be Sunday without a traditional British roast dinner and a traditional British Sunday roast would be the same without Yorkshire pudding.Â
For some reason the yorkshire pudding recipe I always used back home in Essex just didn't work so well in the United States. I couldn't get the Yorkshire puddings to ...

England 2 - 0 Trinidad & Tobago.
 England win again...barely...AGAIN!
As an England supporter you kind of get the feeling the England football team enjoys making life more difficult for themselves than it needs to be.
Following on from the lacklustre performance against Paraguay where a win came only courtesy of an early ...

1 - 0 England...barely.
 OK. so first game jitters aside, this was a pretty poor performance by our boys. Punting the ball up the field to Crouch and shooting from 40 - 50 yards over and over is hardly the best way to win a football match and today England looked ...
