WASHINGTON British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had some dietary advice for Vice President Mike Pence when they met Thursday in London.
"Were not too keen on that chlorinated chicken, Johnson told Pence during a meeting that centered in part on the prospects of a United States-United Kingdom trade deal once Britain leaves the European Union.
Johnson also told Pence that Americans aren't eating enough British lamb and haggis. The prime minister further denounced "barriers to trade in shower trays, would you believe it," but pledged to work on an agreement "that works for all sides."

The British prime minister has also used the issue as a political taunt, describing Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn this week as a "chlorine chicken.
