more from that month
Literally the first chance I have had to be on Noise today. So i am going to mention today another one of my passions. It may not have come across before but I love cooking. A lot of my food is traditional English, but can go beyond that. Today's delight is going to be a korma made from scratch. Incidentally, from what I have heard, korma is not authentically Indian as it was something concocted during the days of the Raj because authentic Indian curries were too hot and too spicy for the delicate imperialists. Personally, if I had been invaded it would have been thought giving the invaders a bit of gut rot could have been an appealing option. Anyhow coming back to the korma, whatever its roots it's delicious and that's all that matters.

Since you have an interest in it, what is some of the "good" traditional English food? When I think of English food, I think of blood pudding, organ pies, and other, (to me!), incredibly unappetizing stuff. What have I been missing?
Sunday Roast immediately comes to mind. But also such delights as toad in the hole (sausage in Yorkshire Pudding), wholesome stew complete with dumplings... and of course British style chip shop food. When it comes to deserts, fruit crumble, spotted dick (yes for real), jam roly polly, trifle to name a few And of course the English have custard, that is so good even the French call it whatever is French for English Sauce (sauce Anglais?) And I havent even mentioned English breakfast
Yorkshire pudding looks promising. I've had Scotch Eggs, and they are super yummy. But I don't know about spotted dick. Beef suet as a dessert?
