Feeding the 5000

Even in London, where I am used to cooking for three or one, everything here becomes a little bit of a guessing game! If you want to make a Shepherds Pie, you have to try and make your gravy solely out of stock cubes and water and flour! They don't even have plain and self raising, just flour! Sometimes cooking can be slightly tedious, especially when you fancy an English meal , you just cannot find the right ingredients. They do not have the same basic things as we do. Their choice of vegetables would be different from ours, along with their choice of meats and its often very hard to actually think of what to cook! I have had cravings for sausage and mash here, but funnily enough, the don't do sausages, only chorizo and frankfurters! Anytime you do cook though, because you are just making up as you go along to try and make something taste just as good as it does at home with only one of the right ingredients, you end up making A LOT of food! Well Emily and I seem to anyway! Every meal, we over cater for something. Peas? Or Pasta? Pasta or Peas? - Yes these meals were just for the two of us!
