Thorntons toffe is good, but OMG do you not buy the truffles?! My Mother in law brought us a big box last year and they lasted...wait for it...1 day! And I agree with some others that, when done well, there is some great British food, but I'd love to know about some Dominican food. I'm off to search you blog in case you written about any:-)<br />P.S. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Yorkshire pudding, gravys and boiled or roasted (the British way) meats still don't appeal to me. Give me Spanish or Dominican dishes any day! Of course, that's besides the point.

I can never get enough of them but they are quite dear for my monthly budget.<br /><br />Right, in regards to British food, I used to think the same at the beginning, that the food was not really good (this coming from a recently arrived Cuban who was half-starving in Havana, the irony of it :-D!). With the passing of years I haev changed my mind completely. British food is a very good and varied. Fish'n'chips or beans on toast needn't be the staple of your diet when you live. For instance today my wife will be cooking roast dinner, a typical British dish with chicken, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, veg and gravy. On other days we'll have Shepherd's pie. Also, you have regional cuisines and I've tried the ones in the West Country and they're just as yummy as anything else I've tried for instance in Spain or Dominican Republic. For a good treat go to a pub, a real, down-to-earth pub full of jolly folk who get together for a nice Sunday meal and you'll have the time of your life.<br /><br />You made my mouth water with those photos. I have just left a message for my wife to get some chocolate when she gets back home.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770083379947049507.post-80817937074622211082009-11-07T16:35:01.614-08:002009-11-07T16:35:01.614-08:00YUMMM!
