The Eucharist is a practice both in the Anglican Church (The Church of England) and the Catholic Church (The Church of Rome.) This is because the Anglican Church is a break-off of the Catholic Church and so retains some of the Catholic teachings.
The Anglican Church was started for various reasons by King Henry VIII of England, who wanted the English Catholics to look to him as the head of the English Church, and not to the Pope. Henry kept most of the Catholic Church's doctrines, and one of such doctrines was the doctrine of the Eucharist, which is, in the Catholic Church, the physical, true presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of bread and wine. However, since the Anglicans rebelled against the Pope and broke off from the main body of Catholics, this was heresy and since they are not in communion with the Chair of Peter, their Eucharist is not truly the Body and Blood of Jesus, as the religion is heresy.

Can a catholic receive the eucharist in an Anglican church?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo. First of all, there is no "Eucharist" in an Anglican church. They, themselves do not even believe this, and they no longer have valid apostolic succession or orders so they have no priests to confect the Eucharist. Second, one would be, by receiving their Holy Communion, expressing unity with an heretical sect which does not believe in the truth as received from Jesus Christ so one would be committing a mortal sin.
Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.

Is Anglican Christianity or Catholic?
No WAY!!! The Anglican church is probably one of the closER Protestant "branch religions" to the Catholic Church, but it is still a Protestant religion. The Anglican church is missing some of the MOST key factors that "make" the Catholic Church Catholic. So "no, they are most definitely NOT the same."
