I lived in London for a year before moving to New York, and these are the British foods I miss the most

• After moving back to New York after a year in London, there are some classic British foods I miss.
• Yorkshire puddings, which are similar to popovers, are uniquely and deliciously British.
• While they might sound disgusting, prawn cocktail crisps are surprisingly tasty.
• There's nothing like a Sunday roast, which is like having Thanksgiving dinner every week.

When I first moved to the UK, I'll admit I was skeptical of the food. I hadn't heard many positive reviews of British cuisine — images of black pudding and mushy peas initially came to mind.

When I arrived in England, however, I realized I'd had a few misconceptions. There's plenty of classic British food that is delicious, like Sunday roasts, full English breakfasts, and of course, tea.

Certain foods, like Yorkshire puddings and Cadbury Twirls, are hard, if not impossible, to find back home in New York. Other dishes, like fish and chips and roast potatoes, are available here, but they're just not done the same way.

Take a look at the classic and unique British foods that I wish I could enjoy at home.
