Comments (2)Cute...amusing...but you neglected to bring up the matter of miripooix and the sweetness that Carrot provides. You also got a little comma happy...if we are critiquing. But it's cute!...See MoreFood in London - lunch and dinner for royalty?
Comments (15)Looks great. And yes, shepherd's pie done right IS made with lamb. (Otherwise the proper term is "cottage pie", although I don't see why "cowboy's pie" isn't a thing as a name... shepherds don't move cattle around...) The fish and chips look lovely! Scones were indeed dry. When I've been in Scotland and England, I simply loved haggis. I had two or three different preparations, and liked them all. I did NOT like the blood sausage. I had that with a Full English Breakfast one morning, and it was the only part I didn't finish. Did you get kippers? I tried them the last morning I was in Scotland prior to flying home. I liked them, but it wouldn't be something I'd want often. I didn't have Scotch eggs over there, but made them here at home once (using duck eggs). Enjoyable. The salmon is great over there! I also like the English tea sandwiches....See MoreIs your dining table naked?
Comments (44)This thread made me clean my dining room table. This is how I would like it to look all the time (if we had a laundry room and extra storage!). We'd love for the wine fridge and water to have somewhere else to go, but it doesn't. This room sits between the living room and kitchen with the "library" next to it. The library has doors on all walls, so it's essentially a large hallway. We have to do some structural work in here at some point and have toyed with reworking this back wall to have built-ins below and smaller windows across the entire wall to bring more light into the house. All projects like these are pipe-dreams at this point....See More- 8 years ago
