It's called a Montecristo. It's a ham, turkey and cheese sandwich dipped in batter and deep fried. Then they put some powdered sugar on it, like on a funnel cake (I swear I'm not making this up!)<BR/><BR/>Then you're suppose to dip it in raspberry preserves.<BR/><BR/>Sure, the brits have mint jelly. But I'm pretty sure the Monte Cristo is just as bad, ethically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36083545.post-70828337381515763532007-04-19T21:24:00.000+01:002007-04-19T21:24:00.000+01:00THe Ploughmans looks nice.

The scrumpy was so evil we poured it on our chips like vinegar. I hear that it can make you go blind. Otherwise English food cooked proper is fab. Like roast lamb with redcurrant jelly and crispy roast potatoes. Yuuum. And a proper ploughmans with branston pickle and really strong cheddar.

You're deadright about the tortoises, they would eat most of the ploughman's except the cheese and bread.<BR/><BR/>Hellojed, I was wondering why I hadn't had it in years, it's definitely made a comeback in my house!<BR/><BR/>Better to travel where Dad?<BR/><BR/>Sally you notice how I bake a lot, I have a sweet tooth. Your butcher sounds a good place to shop. We used to have a fry most Sundays for bruch but that fell by the wayside in recent years.

Low carb, high protein and with or without the right amount of fat (depending on how much you want to eat) according to how it is cooked and what cut you have. I think that English people have eclectic taste when it comes to food. We're not fussy, and many of us cook quite well really! <BR/><BR/>And as for photos of British food, you are always showing us nice photos of things you have cooked Beccy!!
