What do you think when you are told about British cookery? Yes, I know. A huge fatty breakfast too early in the morning; a mere lettuce sandwich which makes you look so miserable; a not-very-desirable dinner too early in the evening; and tea, tea, tea.
But that's not all. As usual, preconceptions are not good. British cookery may be tasty, amazing, surprising, delicious and...rich and varied. The blog you are reading at the moment is designed to make you change your mind and discover historical receipts, lovely flavours, ingredients you'll love, famous cooks who will open their kitchens to show their secrets and so on.
I also intend that, after considering British cookery from a different point of view, the reader can reconsider other aspects of the British way of life, Britons personality, their behaviour, their politeness, their British humour. I'm sure there are also preconceptions in relation to these topics that may be changed if we analize them in detail as we intend to do now about British "fish & chips".
Along the pages, you'll get it, or I hope so, together with information about useful linkers to increase your knowledge of English culture through food and drink.
So, go ahead and good appetite!
