Today it will be roast beef with yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, peas, and broccoli.

The other day I made griddled asparagus with poached egg and smoked salmon, toad in the hole with sour cream and chive mash and peas and spotted dick with custard. Ahhh rustic English food-fantastic!!

Pea soup with ham, onions, celery, and garlic washed down with ice cold Molson Golden.

Chufty, care to PM me the recipe for the asparagus and salmon? Toad in the hole sounds absolutely wild!

I'd bet you'd like some "bubble and squeak".

The spotted dick with custard in Chufty's meal also sounded exciting.😉

" Spotted Dick back on menu. A traditional pudding which was renamed after hospital managers thought patients would be too embarrassed to ask for it, is being restored to Gloucestershire's hospital menus.
'Spotted Dick' will replace 'Spotted Richard' after it was decided patients are capable of overcoming their blushes long enough to ask for it.

The name change was originally introduced three years by the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust.

It was thought patients might feel uncomfortable asking for the dessert. Now it has been decided that Spotted Dick will make a return when new menus are printed in the next few months.



As for the recipe for Bubble and Squeak, you 'd better ask an English person. I don't know English gastronomy well . . . 😳

Bon Appétit.

Sounds like I've been making a bastardized version of bubble as Sunday breakfast for years! Leftover veggies, leftover meat, and eggs!
