I'd love to be able to eat like that every day, though I must admit that muffins are more of a lunch for me than an evening meal.

It's mine and my wife's guilty secret ever Friday afternoon now that we're retired. Your next culinary adventure must be Bubble and Squeak. I’m glad you tried the Devon Cream Tea.

I watched Jon eat an English breakfast so his culinary selections weren't all bad.

One question - tangerine marmalade? Not Seville? I'm feeling ill at the thought of all that food but how about some crumpets as well?! In our house two of us eat them with Marmite which should just about finish poor Jonathan off. Keep up the good work - I love the posts. Jane Hi Anna,

Very good – quite agree!! One question – tangerine marmalade? Not Seville? I’m feeling ill at the thought of all that food but how about some crumpets as well?! In our house two of us eat them with Marmite which should just about finish poor Jonathan off.

Keep up the good work – I love the posts.

I was actually more adventurous with my food intake this time around. However, after a long day in a foreign land with strange food, all you want is a burger. And for the records, burgers in Britain taste nothing like burgers in the USA. We did have nearly traditional English Brekkie while we were in the cottage and ate a fantastic Italian joint in Shaftesbury - all stuff I'll write about tomorrow when I get to those posts. But my wife would agree with you. I need to be more adventurous with food. Cheers! Well, in my own defense, I only ate McDonald’s at the airport in Chicago.
