I don't think so. We're known for cold and snow, which I hate!

Wait, you don't eat a full English breakfast everyday? :p And you must love mint, you put it everywhere? And marmite?
(I do love the UK though I've only ever been to a few cities)
As for me I'm French. So of course I must like wine. (Except I don't ^^) And of course I must have lived in Paris. (Except I have been there like 3 days in my whole life.)
There are a few stereotypes going around with France but those are the two I hear the most.
Of course, I live abroad so that means I get to hear it a lot more than most people.

Oh man mint literally makes me puke. So awful. I don't see it around that much though, I didn't know this was a stereotype. Is it just that other countries don't use it at all and we use it a bit? IDK. The only traditional dish I can think of is mint sauce with lamb.
I do love marmite though :D and although I'm vegetarian, I can always manage a full English so long as I get extra mushrooms or eggs instead of the sausage.

I don't know why but it seems that green peas with mint is a very well known English dish abroad. But I've never seen it served anywhere, which is a good thing because I don't like mint either.
I have rarely seen mint used in cooking though that's true, sometimes in Moroccan food, but that's about it.
To be fair, I've seen both Marmite and Heinz mint sauce sold even here in Japan so I figured it must be a big thing because Japan stores dont't usually caters to strange flavors that are either not American or not fashionable (Walkers cookies are fashionable btw XD So is tea of course, and Harrods.)
I love the full English breakfast. I can't usually eat it for breakfast because I'm French and I need my croissant (or at least sweet stuff) but it's something I'd love to eat more.

Don't ask me XD
Walkers cookies seem to be Scottish though (though obviously I have no idea XD), judging from the packaging at least. I've gotten some from both French and Japanese people so I've always thought they were really popular. Apparently not XD
They're really good though, I recommend them.

I looked it up and we just normally eat the shortbread by that brand. I don't think I've ever seen their cookies in stores. They are very nice though, definitely a favourite at Christmas time. Although the older I get the more aware I am of just how much butter and sugar is in them X'D

Well, even younger I could practically see the butter. They're still a favorite brand of mine, even though I can't eat it as much as I would like.
Should probably buy some for Christmas though.
