Greetings All!
I remember that in Britain I was able to eat food that tasted great to me.
I found sandwich shops on Piccadilly and about a block north an American
Wedy's Burger place. It was great. I had fish, beef and mutton, and pork.
In combinations that tickled the tastebuds. That is until I found a shop
catering to the tourist trade. That food was nasty.
I had pot pies of every variety and when we decided to not go out to eat
and found a Safeway (YES in Britain ) I found a whole isle of pot pie in
varieties that were wonderful. I want to go back and have more of those
pies. . . sigh.
Steak and Kidney pie is different in every shop and is interesting to
boot! Only problem was that after we went back to Germany I ran out of the
pub mustard that was so good. Couldn't get it in Germany and forget over
here. Miss the curries and sauces a lot to.
