ROAST ON A SUNDAY:
It is, as every British person knows, tradition to have a roast on a Sunday for lunch or dinner. It is usually a time when all of the family comes together after a long week to eat lots of good food and drink wine.
A roast is probably many people’s favourite dinner as there are so many different vegetables and meats to stuff yourself silly with. My family isn’t very big on roast dinners, when I was a child Sundays were more for bike rides and pubs, so it is really nice to be invited to my friends house for a huge roast dinner with all of their family. My favourite pudding was served - apple crumble. YUM!
BREAKFAST:
On the final morning of my holiday in Devon, after packing all of the luggage in to the car, I went to the beach for breakfast on Beer beach in a small cafe called Ducky’s. It is such a nice location on the beach, especially in the morning when everything is fresh. I had scrambled eggs on toast whilst everybody else I was with has a full English breakfast.
COUNTRY CAKE CUPBOARD:
One of the best things about the countryside is the food you can get. A lot of the food you eat in restaurants and cafes is sourced locally from the farm down the road or caught by the local fisherman. Often in rural areas you will find places that sell eggs or sausages in a box at the side of a lane, they are based on the idea that the customer will be honest and pay the right ammount of money for the produce, I really like this idea.
I was lucky enough to have a cupboard right by the place I was staying, at the top of a very steep hill, that sold homemade cakes. It was brilliant. I wish there was one at the top of my road back at home but I don’t think the honesty behind it will work as well in a big town.
I paid a few visits to the cupboard of dreams but these pictures are of the cakes we brought the first time we discovered the cupboard, just in time for afternoon tea.
LUNCH:
Another pub lunch on a spring day. This time I had a cheese and onion sandwich and my friends had some very tasty looking egg and chips and chicken caesar salad with anchovies.
DINNER WITH MY FAMILY:
I went out with my family for a big dinner whilst we were on holiday. It was at the local pub (surprise surprise), I chose to have Greek salad which was really fresh and full of lots of delicious tastes and textures. I took some pictures of the dishes some of my family chose, cauliflower soup to start which I tried and can confirm that it was very cauliflowery, Branoc pie with potatoes and vegetables (Branoc is a local ale) and steak and chips with salad.
We were all so full after out meals that we could barely move but we managed to struggle from the restaurant to the bar for a few drinks.
LUNCH AT THE FOUNTAINS HEAD:
Another pub lunch on my holiday in Devon. This time at my favourite pub in the world - The Fountain Head. I had a very tasty beetroot and goats cheese salad which was very delicious, the textures were perfect together. I took some pictures of food that my friends ate too, one had macaroni cheese which came with salad and a huge wedge of fresh bread and the other had a ham sandwich. The perfect lunch for somebody who had been walking up and down hills all day.
PUB LUNCH:
I have just come back from a holiday in Devon over Easter. I have been going to the same place every Easter all of my life, it is so beautiful there and I go with a big group of friends and family who have all been going for years and years, since way before I was born. We walk through the scenic countryside over hills and through fields to pubs to eat lunch and drink. I managed to take lots of pictures of all the well deserved lunches, dinners and afternoon teas I had whilst I was there.
After the first day of walking along the Jurassic coast we ended up in Beer, a small fishing village along the coast from where I was staying. I had this very delicious cheese and tomato sandwich in a pub garden which over looks the sea.
The picture of the beach is the walk I did, we had to go down and up the cliff again and along a little more to get to the pub, the lunch was much needed.
JAPANESE FOR DINNER:
The night before I went away on holiday for Easter, I didn’t have time to cook myself any dinner so I popped in to a Japanese restaurant in Soho so that me and my friend could grab something to eat.
We chose to eat vegetable curry and chicken katsu curry and we shared pickle maki rolls and a pot of green tea.
DRAGON FRUIT:
If you have never tried dragon fruit, you are very silly and should go out and buy one now because they are so good. They look amazing and a little scary on the outside but on the inside they are soft, sweet and watery - sort of like a kiwi but not as bitter.
LUNCH:
Whilst doing some shopping on Saturday I stopped to have some lunch with my friend in a cafe called The Terrace. Shopping is very tiring and we needed some food to rejuvenate us so we could get back to the shops.
I chose to eat a mozzarella and tomato panini with peppery rocket on seeded ciabatta and my friend had The Parisian which was really good apparently.
We also had a packet of Tyrrell’s crisps each too which topped the lunch off perfectly.
