One of the things I love when I visit Blighty for my prog rock festivals and hiking/ roughing it, literary tours. Is the home baked regional food and drink.
There are not a lot of bakeries, pie,cake shops left here.
Well there is an excellent one in Sneem on the Ring Of Kerry that we have visited several times. I think the lady who owns the shop is English.
Any way or any road. The veg plot is producing a lot of new potatoes and onions at the moment.
Yesterday J decided to make some Cornish mince and onion and potatoes pasties:
Our motto is if you can't get it in the shops make it yourself!
Anyone else baking at the moment?
I must get J to bake me some scones. They are amazing.
We should champion our regional foods and drink.
Anyone got a Newcastle Brown homebrew or Vimto recipe?
Ooh, that all looks truly scrumptious. You are a lucky man, Dave.
ReplyDeleteMy pastry skills are terrible, I always buy ready to roll, we don't eat many pies, on our recent trip to Cornwall we had amazing pasties. We gave homegrown veg for tea tonight. Hubby us the Baker here, it's his labour of love.
ReplyDeleteIt is JayCee. The demise of the bakeries is sad. I grow and harvest the vegetables and J bakes pies, bread and pasties.
ReplyDeleteThe pasties in Cornwall are amazing Marlene. So is the cider. I can't wait for my trip there in late summer. We eat from the veg plot every day now. Cabbage, new potatoes and a bacon joint for tonight's tea.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that you probably married Jean for her baking skills. It's true what they say about the way to a man's heart being through his stomach. Those pasties and pies look spiffing old chap.
ReplyDeleteThanks YP. You can't beat freshly baked food.
ReplyDeleteOh boy I would gobble down any, and all, of those pies even though they're full of carbs. Very tasty carbs 😊😋
ReplyDeleteI made a zucchini and Feta 'pie' last night. More a, quiche. Just a little flour. Delicious. Not much baking at the moment. It's too darn hot
They're very tasty Linda. Zucchinis are Courgette aren't they? Sounds good and different. We eat far too much red meat.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge pie fan. Cheese and onion is my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteI don't bake as much as I used to, but I did make some chocolate chip scones yesterday.
Hollands meat pies are my favourite Jules. I think it's a northern the. Pie and peas.
ReplyDeleteNorthern thing.
