KateG BS: London Groceries (24) RE: BS: London Groceries 24 Aug 05


If they're going to spend five years in London, why not spend it exploring the delights of English food instead of recreating American dishes. After all, the whole point of travel is to broaden horizons.

There are all sorts of taste thrills awaiting them: proper marmelade, chocolate digestives (choccy bickies), mackrell, gooseberries, black currents, smoked salmon (!!!!), shortbread, clotted cream, crumpets, chickens that taste like chicken instead of tofu, tomatoes with flavor (imported from the Mediterranean)... I could go on and on. I moved back to the States 25 years ago and there are still things I miss.

As for Marshmallow Fluff ... shudder. Have they ever read the ingredients? I have never understood why anyone, anywhere would touch the stuff, let alone allow much-loved children to eat it. I'd as soon feed them strychnine.
