I have a celtic backround and enjoy going to the highland games here in the states. One vendor who is at all the games in my area is a Welsh baker. He has the very best cookies I have ever tasted and so say my friends. Too bad he charges a hefty price should you want to order from him even though he too lives in the states. Always looked forward to stopping by and buying some cookies when I was at the games.That was when I lived in Pa. now I live in Florida and have not been to games if any are in this area. Sure do miss them. The games and the cookies. Especially at holiday time.

Have not been to England but went to Scotland two years ago. (and Ireland)
I never saw so many flavors of 'crisps'. We have only potato chips, barbecue flavored potato chips, and sour cream with onion potato chips. West coast may have additional flavors.
Every meal that we had in Scotland and Ireland was great. Yes, one of my sons can drive on the left side of the road. We even got the understanding of the 'lay-by' on the country lanes.
But I digress, the food was good.

Lisanne,
Last week my grandson requested my apple pie for his groom cake at their September wedding.
When all five kids were home I thought nothing of making 2 or 3 pies in one day. Add forty years and it is a lot of work!
Of course I will make him an apple pie.

Okay, I visited my daughter going to grad school in the UK. What is with mushy peas? They are not that bad but why would you mash perfectly good peas? My daughter's British friends just laugh at me.

Poutine was invented in Drummondville,Qc.Personnaly I dislike it, French Fries with white cheese curds and a brown sauce. It is becoming very stylish , a couple of restaurants grabbed the recipe of one our best chefs that use foie gras, I just read in the newspaper, that a chain of American restaurant is adding poutine to their menu.
