Eating British

 EatingBritish was lucky enough to have the chance to visit Thailand recently, which was great!   This, of course, provided the perfect opportunity to try all sorts of new food, which was...

 EatingBritish came across these in the supermarket a while back - seems a rather good idea!  After all, everyone likes egg and soldiers, don't they?  Now, no longer just egg and soldiers, b...

 I mean to do this  post much nearer to the time, but as usual things conspired against me.  Anyway, pancakes were had by EatingBritish on Tuesday, as per tradition.  We went for the classic,...

 Just a reminder that tomorrow is pancake day!  :-)

 Well, I hope everyone had a super Christmas?  All was good here at EatingBritish, with plenty of time spent with friends and family, which is what Christmas should be all about really.  Of co...

Merry Christmas from EatingBritish!  I didn't bother with buying a tree this year, but instead decided to use one of the small fir trees I have been growing on the patio.  The great advantag...

  Keeping going with the EatingBritish thing has been a bit difficult for the last few weeks.  I think the unusually harsh winter led to very difficult growing conditions for British farmers. ...

 Hello!  And, sorry for not posting for so long.  What with Christmas and New Year and everything, it's all been a bit hectic just recently and I'm afraid to say the blog has taken something o...

 Well, it would seem that Autumn is well and truly upon us now!  Although, it has been unseasonably warm for the past few days down here, the leaves on the trees have more or less all turned n...

 I just came across this article on The Guardian website:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/sep/08/apples-growers-hail-tastiest-crop  It seems that the weather this year has con...

 As anyone reading my blog will quickly realise, I eat meat.  I don't think anybody could be unaware that there has been some discussion about the environmental impact of meat production recent...

This was something of a surprise find in the freezer section at Sunnyfields - Water Buffalo meat!  The Water Buffalo are reared here in the UK, at Broughton Farm in Hampshire (more info here ).�...

 I was back at Sunnyfields farm a little while ago, actually my first visit this summer!  I have often wished that it was easier to get British made 'ready meal' things like pizza and pies, ma...

Judging by my last shopping trip, Welsh lamb seems to be very much back on the shelves, at least at my local supermarket.  So, I couldn't resist picking up some minced lamb, which is great made ...

I picked up this jar of honey at my local butcher shop today, so thought I should use it.  Pork chops can be good, but a honey glazed pork chop is just better!  It's very easy to do, simply se...

 I was very surprised to come across British sweetcorn in the supermarket!  I have seen this before, but only once and that was a few years ago.  As you can see, this is part of the Waitrose ...

 I was impressed on my last shopping trip to see that Waitrose have expanded their range of 'South of England' regional produce!  Vegetables on sale included peas, broccoli, dwarf beans, courge...

 A nice, simple dish that can be made with a relatively cheap cut of beef, such as braising (or chuck) steak.  When using these cuts of meat, they can be a bit tough, but this problem can be ...

 The weather here in the UK has, for most of us at least, been fantastic for the last few weeks.  Some have even complained that it has been too hot!  Typical then, that on the day I should de...

This is a slight variation on a recipe I've done before with sausage and asparagus, but it's a great way of cooking sausages if you're fed up of frying or grilling them!  To make, simply cook so...

 I mentioned in my last  post that I would write something about marrows, so here we are!  I think, as vegetables go, marrows are fairly exciting.  To start with, they are quite big and c...

 My last trip to Waitrose revealed that two new vegetables appear to have come into season; peas and marrow.  Now, I use peas in quite a lot of my cooking, as you might have noticed from one or...

After all the fuss I made about the regional produce I bought in Waitrose last week, I thought it was probably time that I wrote a little more about it.  In the end, once I'd sampled some of the...

I've just got back from doing my shopping at Waitrose, which happens to be my closest supermarket, although I do occasionally go to others.  Waitrose have quite a strong focus on local produce a...

Personally, it always annoys me slightly that whenever you ask someone to think of an example of British food, the first thing they'll almost always say is fish and chips!  Whether we like it or...
