Some of us have been lucky enough to be taught those recipes by grandmother or mother.
We all have fond memories of our favorite dishes from our childhood. It does not matter if it is a simple "Pot au feu facon grand mere", or a classic Brioche Mousseline by Escoffier, they deserve equal respect, love and attention, and often, several attempts to get them right. Ignorance is bliss!!! So the saying goes!įor me personally, I make huge efforts to research and work only with classic recipes. Then millions of keen amateur cooks watch these shows, read the books and magazines and end up cooking something which is a pale imitation of the original, but still calling it by it's classic name. These travesties are then shown on popular TV cooking shows and printed in books and magazines. Their versions have little, or nothing to do with the originals, but that does not stop them from calling them by the original classic name. There is a tendency, especially among TV celebrity chefs, wishing to make a name for themselves, to take classic dishes and revisit them. This sad state of affairs is very similar to the huge difference that exists between classic, age old, Italian dishes, and what they have become in Italian America. My mistake was to imagine, for a moment, that here was an attempt to clarify the difference between classic English products, and what those products have become in the New World. WiseGeek, as the title, and content suggests, is very obviouslyĪn American website, run by Americans, for Americans. Maybe a slice of whole grain bread and a peach and some coffee with cream or even iced black tea. I saw a show where the Prince of Wales was requesting crumpets be brought up and I just couldn't imagine having that for a snack with tea.
I can't imagine eating a pancake type thing in the afternoon like that. And we do, in fact, speak English here, as do both presidents you referred to.Īs for English muffins, I knew they weren't English I thought they were crumpets. I fear your politics are no doubt coloring your interpretation of our recent president's language skills definitely not unbiased there. Our collection of delicate ceramic pendants are all carefully handcrafted here in our Cotes Mill studio, each one is completely unique and special.Do they have English muffins in England? What do they call them there?Īugust 9, You are really getting your drawers in a wad over trifles.
The perfect light can be so hard to find, you want something classic and stylish but without making a big statement - or worse, a great big eye-sore.
