And if you want a proper custard, make creme anglais. It's French, but what the British call custard. It's often served with (or on) desserts. Not sure it would be good with fish fingers, though, despite 11 eating it. Ick.

My little niece is a huge Doctor Who fan and wants to make fish chips and custard for an upcoming 11th Doc anniversary. The custard may get tricky but I'm sure we'll muddle through. Lol.

Hmm...Marmite is from the UK, though its twin (I think they might be the same product but I'm not sure) is Vegemite. Kind of reminds me of burnt toast. :-PSarah Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400991060848486889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568045042407840394.post-61045325796757900542015-04-12T18:45:15.836-04:002015-04-12T18:45:15.836-04:00I've been to England twice and Scotland once. ...I've been to England twice and Scotland once. I've read through your A to Zs thus far, and you are making me miss the UK! :) I loved some of the food in both Britain and Scotland. That scone picture is making my mouth water! LOL.

Very tasty. One thing that is Australian (I think) but was served when I was part of an exchange program in Winchester, was Marmite--the only thing I<br />did not like.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568045042407840394.post-34255439425677031602015-04-11T12:02:37.008-04:002015-04-11T12:02:37.008-04:00Aren't they great?

Especially baked potatoes... which are, I think, what you call Jacket Potatoes. And oh, my God, I love those!!!!JazzFeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650512457155395633noreply@blogger.com
