Every time I live in a new country, I need to experience the food. Food organizes my thoughts around the culture and anchors me. I did a short trip through Turkey last month with my mom and I ate my way through that country and finished the trip off with a proper bout with severe food poisoning. What is life without some risk…
Not to dwell on Turkey, but back to the point, I want to give a list of my favorite English finds. Personally, I have my reservations about English cuisine, so much so, that I feel it is an oxymoron to even say English and cuisine together. I have not found the perfect Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips or Curry dish, but I have found a few favorite brands available at any local supermarket:
Colman’s Mustard:
In America, this would be called spicy, but here it is just mustard. This is frankly the best mustard I have ever had, full stop. It is a simple yellow mustard but with a solid kick from the front of the palette to the rear. Colman’s originates from Norwich and makes their mustard from just six simple ingredients. They have been making mustard since 1814.
