Hi Joyce, I’m so pleased someone agrees with me, I have come believe that all this modern cuisine is a touch of ‘The Emperors New Clothes’ Many thanks for your most interesting comment.
Just came across this entry on your blog and oh! yes! how I agree! Not only for the weird food combinations which are simply fantastical variations on the same theme of sweet-and-sour(there’s nothing wrong with apple sauce accompanying roast pork though)but it’s the way certain foods are hi-jacked and certainly not for the better.
On one visit to my family in the north-west of England, she got all excited about introducing me to “new varieties” of our traditional Lancashire – to mention just one or two, there was one with port wine added (it looked like vomit!, another with dried chopped apricots added – and to crown them all (there must have been a good one-and-a-half dozen of these monstrosities!), as it was Christmastime there was a “special” containing Christmas pudding!!!
Coming from Yorkshire as you do, Paul, you undoubtedly know the addage “An apple pie without the cheese, Is like a kiss without the squeeze”, but Christmas-Pudding-loaded Lancashire??? Really!!!
There are so many lovely, unadulterated traditional cheeses in the British Isles – not so many as here in France of course, but when I’m visiting the UK family I try to bring back as many different types as I can, so the French contingents can enjoy them too … and they do! Unspoiled and unmessed with!
Thanks to anyone who reads my rant,
Cheers! (No, not cheese …)
