Baked beans are in there! I'm headed to Hawaii for a convention in early July. Probably run into some Spam dishes there if I'm not careful, as it's far more popular on the various Pacific islands than it is at home.
We now get some classic Benny Hill reruns on BBC America, and the History International channel shows "Time Team" once a week. Can only take Benny in small doses, but "Time Team," while certainly not fast-moving, is pretty interesting.
