Don’t worry, you can avoid American food, although I’ve been many times and never been poisoned.
Just stick to vegan scran, or snails and chips, French style, it’ll be a wistful reminder of how things used to be.

That’s properly chlorinated, that Yank muck just gets a quick spray.

Don't forget farmed salmon sautéed in Hydrogen peroxide.

Is that right? I had Alaskan wild salmon not long ago, absolutely delicious, and as Yank as you want. In future I’ll keep away from EU peroxide stuff, don’t want to end up with hair like the Children of the Damned.

All we want is to leave and have a similar trading arrangement with the EU as other non EU countries - better would be great of course but I accept we can't have our cake and eat it. The EU for its part needs to accept it can't meddle in UK domestic politics, fishing waters, or parliamentary process. If it were Beijing or Putin making the same demands upon us we wouldn't accept it, so I don't see why we should from Brussels.
If you list all the threats to the UK union, GFA, trade, commerce, restrictions on imports and exports and demands for legislative compliance /subservience by the EU it's actually rather chilling. Short of an out and out naval blockade or other military action I challenge you to find another sanction short of war which they have not yet threatened to use against the UK.

We don't want a ’similar trading arrangement’ we want and are asking for a much better trading arrangement. Canada isn't fussed about haulage rules or equivalency on professional qualifications whereas we very much are fussed.

And as posters have pointed out, the EU is a legal construct which facilitates ease of movement, goods and services. While you are in, and paying for, that construct you enjoy those benefits. When you are out, you don't. It really is that simple.

Latest on UK-Japan deal. Japan covering their bets by making it easier to export cars into the UK. We are allowed to use spare EU quota for cheeses.

’A portion of automotive components will need to originate only 50% of the content from the two countries to qualify for preferential tariffs. The ratio is lower than the 55% threshold in place for the Japan-EU trade deal.’

Japan-UK trade deal keeps low tariffs for cars made with EU parts

A win for Japanese automakers, but no-deal Brexit still a threat

I'm still tucking into the horsemeat lasagne they gave us.

Bob. It's a trade deal, of course they will wish to export to us - hence the term 'deal'.

Another great example of a rules based system which guarantees high food standards and high prices for EU consumers.
