Hello from London! Living here has turned every meal into a little adventure. This week I want to tell you about the food I tried, how it tasted, how it was made, and what it tells us about life in the United Kingdom.
This week I tried four very different dishes. The first was a giant cheeseburger from a barbecue restaurant called Black Cactus Bar-B-Q. The second was a classic British café breakfast: soft scrambled eggs on toasted sourdough bread. The third was a slice of strawberry layer cake from a bakery with a whole window full of cakes. The last was fresh Italian pasta, served in little copper pans.
I felt excited and a little bit surprised. The burger reminded me of food from home in the United States, so it felt cozy and familiar, even though I was thousands of miles away. The scrambled eggs were softer and creamier than the ones I usually make. The cake was light and fruity, and choosing just one was the hardest part! The pasta felt special because we shared it at a beautiful table covered in shiny mosaic tiles.
