British Food

January 19, 2006 on 2:22 pm | In Recipes and Food | 5 Comments

So, I finally got my British food thing up and running on my web site.  It’s pretty good so far.  Most people rip on British food, saying that it is all bland or deep fried.  It is very similar to the food I ate in the US, and isn’t all bland or deep fried any more than all American food is hamburgers and pizza. 

I’m just hoping that my British food reviews won’t offend my husband.  He loves most of the food here, but I find a large portion of it weird.  I don’t like the dried fruit-based desserts, and I don’t particularly like haggis.  He might have a tendency to take the food reviews personally, because he’s very proud of his Scottishness.  But the truth is, for every British food I don’t like (fruit cake and organ meat), there are dozens of other British foods I love (tikka masala, jaffa cakes, mushy peas, and English cucumbers).

Not that I’m going to stop looking for American foods.  I miss Jif and Velveeta.
