Ok, I know that I am not British. But I like British food. And I am an Anglophile. So I think that qualifies me - doesn't it?
In response to the Omnivores One Hundred, Helen at Food Stories: http://helengraves.co.uk/ has created The British One Hundred.
Here are the rules if you would like to play along:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. I am doing italics here.
4) Link back to Food Stories, if you would be so kind.

Hi, Raquel! Great to be back in blogland and visiting...now to get over the jet lag--LOL! I love England and English foods...mostly...I could never eat a squirrel...but then I don't eat meat so much of this list doesn't apply to me...LOL! I'll take Cadbury Flake and Bakewell Tart though! :o) Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
What fun Raquel! Does squirrel taste like chicken? I wonder!
I am not sure I want to eat any of that! p.s. I gave you a blog award, come on over when you get a chance!
LOL - I consider myself pretty worldly from a culinary standpoint but I don't know what half those things are! LOL You sound very brave my dear!!
You had me smiling Raquel over this food list, listening to puff the magic dragon. Yes, I've eaten a lot of those foods at one point or other in my life back in dear old Blighty.
Cockles was my mum's favorite for Sunday tea back when I was a kid.
Squirrel does NOT taste like chicken, Marie...shudder!
Well done, Raquel, I'm glad to see you have a taste for British food. I'm sure I will be posting quite a few of these recipes over the winter, so you will be able to expand your repetoire even further.
Great additions btw.
