English Month!

MInstead of our usual food of the week; we decided to go with something a little different. This week is going to be all about English food, drink and more. The reason for this change? The royal wedding of course. Prince William of Wales began dating Kate Middleton in 2003 when they were both attending St. Andrews University in Scotland. They had an on and off relationship, and in October 2010 Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in Kenya. On November 16 2010, Clarence House announced that the couple had become engaged. And on this Friday, April 29 they will be married at Westminster Abbey in London.

There are many misconceptions about English food. The main one being that it is terrible. That used to be the case but now it much better! Many chefs have updated English food classics: and made them taste much better. There is also English fusion food too. This week we'll go through many of these English food and drinks. One of these classic English dishes is fish and chips, one of the most famous and iconic English dishes. Which will be one of the recipes featured this week.

Also in England, many people drink tea. And many people hold tea parties. At the tea parties they drink tea and eat scones with clotted cream, and tea sandwiches. Tea sandwiches are small triangle shaped sandwiches with the crust cut off and are usually filled with smoked salmon, dill,and cream cheese, or cucumber, or watercress. We will also have recipes for scones, tea sandwiches, and much more. Check in all this week for recipes and more!
Update:
Instead of this being English Week, It'll be English Month instead. Along with English food and drinks, we will try to fit in so American food as well.
