I all depends on what you are used to:))) But is so nice to hear some
people have actually experienced Brit food. Some people just put it down
so badly and it is such a shame. I suppose they have only heard about the
food we had just after the war. Yes, it was bad then, but there was a very
good reason for that. We did the best we could with the little we had to
keep our families fed.

Thanks for sharing that sf and Tammy. I am very pleased you enjoyed the
fine food in our islands :)
