Send Me a Care Package from the UK!

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!
