hey boardies! i used to be on this thing like 4 or 5 years ago and have come back! i've honestly been lurking for about a week now, too shy to get back in the game. but i have decided to lurk no more! i've recently moved to the UK and am not allowed to work per my visa restrictions SO i am kinda just stuck at home being a house wife w/ very little house to take care of. so i guess i will come here to entertain myself.
on that note: while Travis was in Chicago last year, Fran had on his art, music, jaffa cakes shirt, and i had no idea what jaffa cakes were. and so then i moved here and have tried them and they are WONDERFUL. my husband and i consider them like bread or milk, we have a CONSTANT supply. i believe i will miss them most when we go back to the States...
anyway.... i'm back! |

Hope that you are enjoying life here in Blighty?
I can't imagine life with out Jaffa Cakes, it's too depressing to even contemplate!

glad you aren't lurking amymore. I wonder about those lurkers and am happy when they step out of the shadows.
So are you married to a British guy? How did you end up there?

I'll bet, but I'm sure it will get easier for you hear as time goes on.
Have you tried any other 'British' foods yet?? Fish and chips? Steak and Ale pie? Haggis???? |

No, i am married to an American. we ended up here cuz my hubby's company allows him to do diff jobs in diff locations for 9 mos at a time. SO we were like "let's go abroad" and this is where we ended up. i am very pleased w/ the placement! |

YES, i have had fish and chips, and shepherd's pie. i am intrigued by haggis, but just knowing what it actually is turns me off. i am sure there are a lot of foods that taste fine, but just knowing exactly what it is, i just can't bring myself to try! like calamari. i know ppl who LOVE it, but i just can't bring myself to try it!!
oh, one other thing that i absolutely LOVE is cider!! there is nothing like that in the States and i LOVE it. i am not a big beer fan, but cider... THAT i like. |

Yes, I would definitely recommend!!!
The canned stuff isn't so great cos it has got a bit of a chemically taste, but if you get the chance to go in a real ale pub that sells it on draught give it a go.....
BE WARNED though, it will knock u on ur backside!!! |
