ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO SANITY ISLAND!
Bread pudding or bread and butter pudding. I like both though bread pudding is the more spicy one. English cooking has changed over the years we now use more spices and herbs than we have for many years.
We eat a lot of Indian food it is our most popular take-away (take-out).
Thanks for your comments regarding mum yes it is a weight off our minds an expensive one but still a weight lifted.
What are orange rolls?
My favourite is ginger marmalade or ginger conserve as we have to call it as it is not technically marmalade
Sausage gravy & biscuits is a southern delicacy! You cook up breakfast sausage (Tennessee Pride is the brand we've found to be the best), not links or patties, just the bulk meat. From the drippings of the sausage you make a thick milk gravy, then dump the sauage back in to really cook in the sausage flavor. The sausage gravy is served over hot biscuits. If you've never had it before, don't even bother with trying to get it in a restaurant. I've never found a restaurant that makes it taste better than just edible. And if you know how to make a good milk gravy you'll be happy with the results of making it yourself.
I've never had goose, or duck, but I'm not really fond of dark meat on chicken or turkey, so I'm not sure I'd enjoy them.
Might I suggest using regular whole milk instead of the evaporated milk and water? My family makes a roux from the sausage drippings and then adds milk to thin out the roux. I love adding hot sauce to mine, but the rest of the family doesn't, so I just put a little bottle of Cholula at my place setting. If you use the Tennesse Pride brand you can get hot or mild (stay away from the sage). The hot will add a nice kick, but again with the family I have to use the mild.
Actually, I usually do use just regular whole milk for the gravy.
Sometimes we use use the evaporated milk though.
I can't stand hot sauce, but I do like the idea of using hot sausage instead of regular though. Yum. I'll have to make some for breakfast soon!
That sounds good. Doesn't that breakfast have a particular name?
I was talking to one of my daughter's friends from Scotland on instant message the other day and he called it something and told me to look it up, but I forgot what he called it.
The sausage I use is just ground sausage for the biscuits and gravy.
I usually use mild but I think I would like spicy sausage. Just not hot sauce!
That mashed potato and onion gravy sounds good. How do you do that?
So did I miss the recipe for Bread pudding that you said you might post? :)
I love bread pudding, but I have no idea of how to make it.
The breakfast is what we call in Southern England full English Breakfast what the Scots call it I do not know.
Regarding sausage and mash with onion gravy. We use normal English sausages just a regular herby sausage and the gravy is usually made from stock cubes or powder and cooked onion which if you have fried the sausages would have been fried first with them to give more flavour if you have grilled (broiled) the sausages then the onions would just have been fried gently in a frying pan with a little oil until soft and then added to the gravy.
Hope that made sense.
Best regards

All this talk of biscuits and sausage gravy sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, I can feel my arteries clogging just from reading it! :-)

I'll get right on that, texasflower! It's really quite easy, not much to it. Save up some day-old bread in the fridge, it makes the best pudding. I'll try to post a good sauce recipe, too. Great for Christmastime, and a good traveling recipe.
That's why it's only for Christmas breakfast!
Full English Breakfast is exactly what he told me to look up.
It does look yummy! When he told me to look it up, I saw the beautifully done plates.
