Living With British Products Only
A family called Bradshaw have decided that they are going to live using only British products. Their story is here on Kent On-Line and their web site is here.
The BBC also flagged up a web site called Make It British.
Their piece also showed that you can buy tea from Cornwall. Now that is truly a British cup of tea!
A1950s Sunday Tea Updated to Gluten-Free
For many of my age, Sunday tea was generally sandwiches and cakes washed down with a Cup of TyPhoo or other tea.
The sandwiches were often of the dreaded fish paste variety, with the paste coming from Shippam’s. For a treat my mother would often add malted fruit bread with currants and sultanas.
I can still taste it all now.
Today for tea, I had fish pate sandwiches and fruit bread.
Here’s the sandwiches, which I made from Genius brown bread, Benecol buttery spread and Waitrose mackerel pate.
Gluten-Free Fish Paste Sandwiches
I cut the crusts off to make them easier to eat. And here’s the Genius fruit bread.
Gluten-Free Fish Fruit Toast
I did toast it, as I prefer it that way.
So I can now go back to the 1950s for Sunday tea.
