'If I wanted my peas mushy I'd chew 'em': An American discovers the good, the bad and the ugly of British food
(Oh! dear tell that to someone from oop North)
A summer in London was full of culinary surprises for American intern Kristen Herhold. Tea, Pimm's – and even our burgers – won her heart, but there are some things she won't miss
Strange the habits we form, where ever we may be.. I love English (sweet) peas. I grow peas in my garden when it is cold enough to do so. Can't get enough... but I'm a 'eat em out of the pod' type of person. No cooking needed, let alone smushed ..
Grew up eating them right out of the garden. When I go to the local stores looking for them, it's rare to find around here ... but snow peas everywhere.
When you go to another country you should expect different foods and different methods of prep; you shouldn't whine and moan about how much better it is "back home". I'd LOVE to go to England some day and eat their food, and I promise I wouldn't be making rude comparisons.
... besides, I hear the serving wenches are truly something to write home about ...
Here are some photos of an Irish Fry, Tipical breakfast..Yummy.
