trf1960 Posted October 3, 2007 #29 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hate to say this and it's only in fun... When I think of British I think of Bland :) I have a friend over in Oxford and she wanted to make sure I got to eat real British food....omg....I couldn't wait to move onto Italy!!! However, I must say that I had a Cream Tea and I thought that was the best, best, best, best, ever!!! See, now there again. I think of Italian food and all I can come up with is pizza or pasta :confused: Okay, their ice cream is particularly nice but then again, I don't think you can beat real Cornish ice cream...yum.

Rare patrickmoran Posted October 3, 2007 #32 Share Posted October 3, 2007 goldiemom, Can you post what RCI gave you regarding the menus? My wife and I will be on that cruise and would be interested in knowing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YESME Posted October 3, 2007 #33 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I spotted the Baked Alaska on the Menu. Yipee! I hope they have it on the Voyager in Oct. I am dreaming of it, the only thing better than going to the dining room and eating it is to be lay on my sunbed eating it.:D Thank you for posting the link. Of course I am sure that Pompeii and Pisa will be great, but I'm hoping for the Baked Alaska. We love our grub, English, Italian, Mexican, American but not Indian.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missus Makkem Posted October 3, 2007 #35 Share Posted October 3, 2007 You mean like the, orange, apple, backcurrant or lemon varieties of squash? Oh and from your name, you must be from that town where I used to work - over the road from Binns on Fawcett Street? not sure where you mean as Binnses was on both sides of the street! wish that was the sort of squash but really meant courgettes [not zucchini ] and pumpkin things. Now pease pudding needs a nice bit of boiled ham to go with it and woe betide any family that does not have a funeral tea with both those dishes followed by fresh cream cakes, well here in the North East of England.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldemar Posted October 3, 2007 #40 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Yorkshire pudding - Pease Pudding "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" If you don't know Pink Floyd, that will mean absolutely nothing to you, but it might bring flashbacks to more than a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus Makkem Posted October 3, 2007 #41 Share Posted October 3, 2007 What sort of treat is a spotted dick? really it is a hot steamed suet pudding full of raisins, but tongue in cheek can mean something else;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jallison8378 Posted October 3, 2007 #42 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have always been quite partial to a spotted dick My friend spent a few weeks in England several years ago and, among other things, brought me back a can of spotted dick as a souvenir/joke. I keep the can on top of my refrigerator, and it never fails... whenever I have new people over for the first time, they burst out laughing and can't believe that it's not a gag. Gotta love us un-cultured Californians. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
