I did a lot of eating in London and thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate.
Salad with fish 'n chips? Traditionally it's mushy peas
So I’ve heard. The most surprising thing I learned though is that the English put HP sauce on their eggs! It tasted good, but still it was a bit weird .

Firstly godwina I’m delighted that you enjoyed our culinary delights. However I must apologise especially to you Danielle for the disappointing brown sauce etiquette of our southern brethren, Londoners are not representative of our fine nation!
Fried egg is no place for brown sauce, nor are the beans or the tinned tomatoes. Brown sauce (HP or Daddies, NEVER a supermarket homebrand) should only be applied to the dry products on the plate, pored lovingly over the bacon, black pudding & sausages. Alternatively just plop a dollop on the side of the plate, NOT in the middle.
Brown sauce is never more at home than with the sausage. But please remember, NEVER use a knife to cut up your sausage! Stick your fork into the middle of the sausage, present the sausage to your fellow diners (be confident but not cocky), dip the end of the sausage in the egg yolk and THEN in the brown sauce (NEVER sauce then yolk), eat the end of the sausage, rotate your fork exposing the opposite end of the sausage & repeat the dipping process. Eat middle of the sausage.
Additional information:
Brown sauce must be poured from the original bottle. If the seal on the bottle is unbroken return it at once! Insist on having a bottle where the sauce has congealed into a sticky gunk around the lid top, it gives more flavour.
If you ever find yourself in a potentially difficult dining situation where someone threatens to use ketchup, just remember to scan the QR code on the side of your bottle & I’ll be there as quickly as possible.

I appreciate the education sandgrounder! Btw in Canada HP sauce is served with red meat - never seen it used with anything else! But regardless, everything I ate was delicious! The black pudding was almost as good as my grandmother’s.

Bought our first dry fryer at the weekend & I'm currently cooking a whole chicken. Even though the fryer is good I won't be getting rid of the microwave until I find the setting for drying my undercrackers 🩳
Frozen cloudberries.They grow in the swamps of our polar regions. I eat them as such when they defrost. Also good with crepes or pancakes with whipped cream
One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain So hit me with music, hit me with music
i’m especially fond of the sausage eating process!
