Musings on Mariner - A slow boat from China

[grapau27]

I like that English bacon. One of the food items I look for on our transatlantic cruises.

You have great taste Bob.

I guess it has a lot to do with the suppliers in those ports.

 

I wonder if ships sailing out of Southampton have black pudding?

As it is a blood sausage anyone could make it.

It is high in protein and iron but only nice in very small portions.

An English Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding is meal would be more traditional English fare.

Giovanni's was fabulous tonight.

 

Also had scallops and ravioli

 

Stopped by before dinner to pick up marinara sauce for the fried mozzarella in the DL. They only had barbecue sauce and sweet chili. [emoji33]

 

But they don't have barbecue sauce for chicken nuggets in the MDR. [emoji848]

 

Crazy

Not a fan. Have tasted it and it is not awful, but I pretty much avoid it when I am in the UK.

 

I did have a nice spotted dick one night, that I enjoyed.:'):halo:

Spotted dick and cornish custard is lovely.

Black pudding is always in a traditional English breakfast.

That's John and Marilyn.

 

Ahh..thanks..old brain could not come up with a name. :eek:

 

Indeed nice people. :)

[island lady]

Yes, they apparently have what you call bacon now. They don’t have good ole American bacon... aka streaky bacon.

 

JC

 

Streaky bacon...love it! :D

When we were in Cornwall in May 2016 we had clotted cream at a restaurant in St. Ives that at first was a bit off putting, but after I got used to it, I think I probably liked it.

The clotted cream is lovely in or on cakes but the custard is for puddings like xmas pudding,spotted dick pudding and sponge pudding's etc and very nice.

Oh no, you know how well I do with some of those British concoctions.
