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.

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.:)

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

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. :)

SPOTTED DICK

Makes 6-7 helpings

 

300g plain flour

150g caster sugar

1/2 (2.5 ml) spoon salt

2 (5ml) spoons baking powder

150g shredded suet

150g chopped currants

cold milk

flour for dusting

 

Sift the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together. Add the

suet, chopped currants, and enough cold milk to make a soft but

not sticky dough. Shape into a roll. Lay the dough on a scalded,

well-floured pudding cloth and roll up loosely. Tie up the ends of

the cloth. Put into a saucepan of fast-boiling water, reduce the

heat, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Drain well and unwrap.

Slice and serve with any custard or sweet sauce, or with warmed

golden syrup and cream.

I need to know what Violet crumble and cherry ripe are as I have never come across them.

 

Jenrie the stotty cake has to have corned beef and onion in it at least my mum's always did. lol
