For some reason, I don’t equate good food and Britain.

True, the Brits appreciate food as a boiler appreciates soft coal. It's necessary for function and if you shovel it in fast enough you don't have to "taste" it. It is my policy to avoid "boiled beef" like the plague. Although their "trifles" and puddings are enjoyable.

Regards,
GtG

They dont have Oreos in Britain?? Oh how sad. ;) They are my favorite cookie. I am just surprised they are not available all over.

You have that right. Sticky toffee pudding or bread and butter pudding smothered in soft custard - mmmm. I would add "spotted dick" to the list but it tends to get some weird responses here. LOL

I doubt many Brits have ever eaten boiled beef I certainly never have.
