I had no idea. Thanks for that history lesson. Happy we still drink tea here-- tho reasonably taxed.

Always a fun trip Michael. My eldest son is a US Navy ex-pat. JPJ is the father of the US Navy in lore. A fun tale to remember. For me, a food lover, I am so thankful we went our own way. Nearly 250 years later we ended up with so much including tons of great fusion cooking styles and we still seem to get on pretty well. I gladly forego beans on toast and embrace the Banh Mi & Cajun food. Now in my 60s, I've managed to avoid black pudding also. Thanks for surrendering at Yorktown. I have great respect for our British legacy since you invented the sandwich and named it after a Lord. What is the best sandwich in Britain (let's exclude organ meats)? We offer the Beef on Weck, the Muffaletta and the Banh Mi. American fusion cuisine at its best. Immigration and its nurturing is our best invention. As according to CK Steefel in the comments, the tea was a good thing too we decided to keep. Thanks.
