Send Me a Care Package from the UK!I just returned from England late Saturday and the last thing I usually comment about is food…I mean, I like food (who doesn't?) but at 5'5" and 115lbs, I'm not what you'd call a foodie. And Britain isn't known for their haute cuisine, either.
Being a lifelong tea drinker (no coffee, plz!) I was completely charmed by their 'Sweet Cream Tea' which is a pot of tea, a scone with sultanas accompanied by clotted cream and fruit jam. I was told that I favour 'builder's tea' because I like it strong and sweet.
By the time I'd sampled Treacle pudding with Bird's custard sauce I was completely won over. (Did I mention I have a sweet tooth?) No, I didn't have the chance to try the Spotted Dick (and it's not an STD). Their biscuits are far superior to ours. I even loved the bangers (sausages). Yes, me, who probably hasn't eaten a greasy American sausage in the past decade, actually sampled a 'full English Breakfast' as well as the classic 'Fish and Chips' with mushy peas. I did pass on the 'blood pudding' but had a small taste of it…pretty decent, but I couldn't get past the name, blood being one of the ingredients.
So my care package list is as follows:
• Yorkshire brand Tea
• scones, clotted cream
• biscuits, especially custard creams
• Treacle
• Bird's custard sauce
• Bangers and British bacon
• and of course, mushy peas
Invite me to tea across the pond. I'll be right over -
remember, strong and sweet…suits me nicely whether it's food or anything else, hehe.
Oh, one last thing… do check the box to be certain there are no house spiders in it!

I love Black tea with milk! When I was in Ireland with school some years ago, the host family only had black tea. At first I tried to drink it with sugar, but it only made the taste worse and then I was brave enough to try the tea with milk and it was delicious! I'm drinking one right now...
And I've heard that German food is wonderful
but there doesn't seem to be any German restaurants here to try...maybe in NY, but not here in RI that I know of.
I love black tea! But I admit to liking it really sweet. With or without milk for me, but not sugar
My friend lives in England and has a home in Germany...she loves German food.
I don't know why we don't have more of it here
And I'm drinking tea right now.
Gotta love tea.
Indeed. jealous
I do love being English.
