Food In Britain - Summer Olympics Primer


We all know that food in England is at world standards. May not have been that way once upon a time, but it is now.

But that doesn't stop us from bangin' on them for past infractions. In fact a blog, Quite Peckish, Somewhat, Hungry  (British, mind you) does a great job of calling out those, British...ahhh..delicaies. Here are some examples from their "Top 10 Most Offensive British Dishes" (and some less offensive) you may encounter when in London for the Olympics:

Love in Disguise (this is simply the heart of a calf (or pig) dressed up and stuffed. The name is a bit misleading. The pictures of this dish are simply nauseating and not deemed family or vegan friendly, therefore not included), Cullen Skink (a harmless soup with a whacked-out name), Cucumber Sandwiches (aahhhh..ok..what else are you serving?), Haggis, Neeps and Tatties (the Scots answer to the hotdog, as they both have about the same ingrediants), Balti and many more. Check out their site. It's a hoot!
