For England we set ourselves the task of having a whole day's worth of food with origins from the country of choice. Admittedly it was one of the easier countries because a lot of the food in Australia comes from the tradition of English cooking but it was still an interesting day where we cooked up a couple of new dishes (for tea).
So, while humming "Rule Britannia" we started out with a traditional English breakfast of baked beans, eggs, bacon and toast. As we were on holidays we got to force our challenge on extra people and so Bee, Kristy and Liv also enjoyed a trip to London with us.
Did anyone say scones and cream!?!? They hit the spot after a morning of bush walking.
Lunch - when we learned that Plowman's Lunch has its origins from England we were pretty stoked as this is a bit of a favourite holiday lunch (being an excuse to eat dip and cheese as a meal). This one pushes/bends/distorts/breaks the boundaries of being English as I'm pretty sure none of the ingredients we used could really be considered (a) in a traditional Plowman's Lunch or (b) even English. It's our challenge and we can make the rules up as we go!
Finally tea - Toad in the Hole (roasted sausages in Yorkshire pudding) followed by Sticky Toffee Pudding.
What a day!
