Hi Claire and all!

Yes, I am back from London, despite United Airlines best efforts to keep me there! As you can tell from the time of this posting, my sense of time is still a bit out of whack, but not TOO badly!

As far as culinary finds is concerned, no, I did not find any straggling bottles of Woody's on the shelves, but I did find something interesting. HP (Houses of Parliment) sauce is very popular there - It's close to our A-1 sauce here. In addition to their regular sauce, they have a BBQ sauce and one called "Fruity". I brought some back but haven't tasted it yet - has to be sealed for customs you know. If it's good, we may have another duplication effort on our hands!   

I did find rare Roast Beef this time, at a Pub called "Arthur". Very Good. You cannot use the term "Prime Rib" there - they don't know what you're talking about!

I did take a trip to Hampton Court Castle - the court of Henry VIII. It's kitchen is where Roast Prime Rib and Yorkshire Pudding were developed. They keep the fire burning and I was able to touch the original roasting racks! I now know what a Moslem must feel like when he visits Mecca!
