Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Did you know that England has a national saint? We probably planted a flag and nicked
him from someone else but what the heck, good ol' St George. Sadly, unlike the Scots and the
Welsh, the English tend not to celebrate their national patron. But not in the food blog world, oh no!
This year Sam of Becks and Posh (an English woman abroad) and cheeky scampster Monkey Gland of Jam Faced (an Englishman who has been abroad, but is now back) have created the first What's For Pud? event. Bring out your spotted dicks, swirl the cream over the trifle or whisk together a tub of custard to smoother the crumble as it is puds all the way this weekend. If you have a blog you can write your own post and join in the fun. Otherwise check their websites for the recipe links.
Remember though this is England we are talking about. Nothing Scottish, nothing Welsh or Irish thankyou.

And B - please enlighten us as to this magic culture which has derived nothing from the cultures around it ...
One of the great thing about the UK (and I'm an expat Australian) is that so much has been absorbed from other cultures while many really unique things (puddings, food, real ale, Morris dancing) have been preserved.
