Call them American Biscuits and you are all set. Mr. Thomas made a fortune selling “muffins” that didn’t resemble anything we had here, even though “English Muffins” weren’t native to England, either.

I bet London mayor Khan will ban Popeye’s from seasoning their green beans with ham for not being halal.

Just advertise them as “savory scones”. Then the Brits will get it.

And of course, the British are world renowned for their exquisite cuisine.

Wait. A large corporation with seemingly a ton of marketing experts didn’t know that “biscuit” means something different in the King’s English than in America? Great research guys.

...Britons were a bit flummoxed by the buttermilk biscuit.

Once you take a bite it makes sense.

It kind of mystified me when they brought me pork and beans with stewed tomatoes next to a runny egg for breakfast.

“It looks like a scone,” Victoria Ubochi said after trying the biscuit, “but it doesn’t taste like one.”

That is a good thing.............

KFC has been in the UK for a long time.

No... they were not mystified.

Popeye’s sux. Now they’ll think that’s how good fried chicken is made here.

The Brits lurve McDonalds and Starbucks, so they’ll probably dig some Popeyes.

Now if Popeye’s would start to sell kidney pie, Brits would flock to them in huge numbers.

The UK is home to some of the worst cuisine in the world.

I’m sure I’m quibbling here, but when I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the early 90’s, we had a Popeyes right across the street from the dorm. So “technically” it was probably the first Popeyes in the UK, and it had a lot of British customers.
