Interesting! One of the iconic dishes in the east of London is pie, eel and mash, drowned in "liquor" - which is made with the stock from the eel and piles of parsley.
Back a long time ago, eels were common in theThames, but when the river became polluted, the eels were brought over from Holland on barges.

We have eels at lake ellesmere about 30 mins away. I have a friend who catches them and smokes them. Really really good

Ate yesterday within the Arabic food enclave of Edgware Road, London

Great food there!
The only odd thing is, if you look around, you might well think you were in Jeddah or Tehran...

Proper jam, then.

All this talk about hotdogs made me hungry, so I nipped down to the supermarket and bought some frankfurters.
The only hotdog buns I could find were tiny, so I bought a deli roll. Homemade mustard, sauerkraut, sausage, fried onion and bacon bits, ketchup and mayo, plus some homemade dill pickles.

Layered cabbage, caramelized onion, potatoes, sausage slices, and cheese. Some Italian seasoning for some accent.

Meatloaf, mash, and steamed broccoli.

Lunch which was great.

Evening meal, in still trying to get rid of the taste of the baked beans. At some point, my OH must have picked up 1 wrong tin in the mix. We always get the Australian low salt Heinz beans, not the English recipe ones. Even my OH commented that they tasted odd when I carefully asked they tasted OK to him.

The English recipe has way too much salt and not enough tomato taste in it. Maybe I need to try making my own?

I had egg, bacon & tomato for breakfast.
Now busy making a dish using my left over chicken. I needed to make "sort of" Thai curry paste for it.
It's simmering away now. Contains tomatoes as well. So if it turns out sufficiently tasty, it may go into the challenge

Breakfast at the B&B this morning

Starter of greek yogurt, fruit, granola

And the main - eggs, homefries, toast, bacon and salad.

Everything was great - I’m fussy about my bacon and this was perfect, nice and crispy!

At the B&B I wake up in everyday.
