Brunch was a poached egg, buttered English muffin, grapes, baby arugula, and cabbage salad.
While in England (70's) my SIL had at almost every meal an appetizer of 1/2 an Avocado with Shrimp and Crosse and Blackwell Salad Dressing.
The start to my death love of Avocadoes.
That is soo sad casey. Truly sorry to hear that.
All our meals were wonderful! I will admit that we did not stay, nor eat, at the top quality hotels or restaurants (on a budget). Never the less, breakfasts were right up our alley, afternoon teas were an eye opener. Supper/dinners - well, we had many meals at friends of the family's homes but even then, when we ate out - many times in a pub (for tourists) - it was great! Never bland and certainly not greasy!
I've never understood the reputation that people give the British Isles for their food. Is it a carry over and stem from the war years of rationing? Trying to make everything stretch?
What do they do to water it down?So I guess (after reading about all the pizza's in one of the Sunday dinner threads) I think I will name this the "Sweet Paradise Bakery's Waterdown Pizza".
Just FYI, a Jewish friend told me that challah means bread, so challah bread is redundant.

Himself and I just mentioned that yesterday.Didn't know that Thanks! That's like people saying "I used the ATM machine."
which is really saying "I used the Automatic Teller Machine machine."
LOL I always have a tiny pause when I say ATM, trying not to say machine.
Steak fajita is steak steak... I've just gotten used to it.

My all time favorite is still "jumbo shrimp".
