A Continuing List of Differences and Similarities of American and British People
When British people say "think" it sounds like "fthink," depending on the accent.
Tea is the most popular drink (not including beer) in England. The most popular drink varies from area to area in America, and actually water has started to be drunk in large amounts now since the health craze boom (not too much or it'll flush your body of nutrients). Coffee is extremely popular as a drink for all day long, but ofcourse first thing in the morning. Caffeine is extremely popular in New England, and a single drink is chosen usually to have the effect: RedBull Energy Drink (it tastes likes piss and gasoline to me, but *shrug*), Coffee (hot or cold, usually varies with season, and personal preference), and Diet Coke (I drink Zevia, a Stevia, less chemically and addictive alternative). There are people who love tea, though. I have had plenty a cup, and realized that I absolutely abhor it. Coffee with milk is actually the Official State Drink of Rhode Island.
It rains a lot and Europe, and it rains a fucking lot on the coasts here too, especially in Spring. The saying, "April showers bring May flowers." There are a lot of showers during April. And of course in the summer here. The spring is usually muddy ground and cloudy skies.

Here's a great. concise Wikipedia explanation of New England cuisine: "New England cuisine is an American cuisine which originated in the northeastern region of the United States known as New England. It is characterized by extensive use of seafood and dairy products, which results from its historical reliance on its seaports and fishing industry, as well as extensive dairy farming in inland regions. Many of New England's earliest Puritan settlers were from eastern England, where baking foods such as pies, beans, and turkey were more common than frying as was the tradition elsewhere.[1] Two prominent characteristic foodstuffs native to New England are maple syrup and cranberries. The traditional standard starch is potato, though rice has a somewhat increased popularity in modern cooking. Although known for limited spices aside from ground black pepper, parsley and sage are common, with a few Caribbean additions like nutmeg. Due to the reliance on dairy, creams are standard. The favored cooking techniques are stewing, steaming, and baking."
