  • Chapter-1 International Cuisine
    CHAPTER-1 INTERNATIONAL CUISINE: THE COOKING OF GREAT BRITAIN Historical Background Unlike the French, the British have no Grande cuisine or customs of elegant restaurant eating. Almost everyone royalty and commoner ate the same food, however fancy or plain. The royal kitchens merely drew on a wider variety of foodstuffs and in greater quantities. Britain was a worldwide trader since the 16 th century and could afford to import the best the world had to offer from tea, coffee and rice to exotic spices and fruits and all these found their way into home cooking. The British Breakfast The British consider it their finest meal. A truly traditional British breakfast would include Baps (a soft round roll) or some other traditional bread with preserves, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs - boiled, fried or scrambled, ham kedgeree, stewed prunes, sautéed kidneys, smoked haddock or kippers, cereals with milk and of course tea. The English breakfast owes, in particular much to the Scots. They eat an even more substantial breakfast that the English and the Welsh or the Irish. They consume vast quantities of porridge and considerable amount of bread usually in the form of a breakfast roll called a ‘Bap” and drink large quantities of tea sometimes laced with whisky. Aberdeen was the birthplace of the breakfast sausage, while Dundee is the home of marmalade without which no breakfast is completed. Bacon is in original entirely English. Ham, which also often figures on the breakfast table, is the cured hind leg of the pig. Only the English cured the pig, usually by salting, while the rest of Europe ate it fresh.

Derik Peterman the powerful mystery of the Incarnation Associate Pastor and we are reminded of just how much God loves us and all the people of the world. OUR VISION As our parish anticipated Christmas, To know Christ and I was very much moved to see the different ways our parish community reaches out with love to one and another, our neighbors and to those in to make Christ known need. Your response to the needs of others shows in a tangible way Christ’s love for those who grieve the death of a loved one and the poor and homeless M in their name, Thank You! Also, it is clear that many countless gestures of generosity take place here each and every day and they are an expression of your deep faith and love. The light of Christ’s love confronts the darkness of poverty, prejudice, hatred and illness through the goodness and love of our parish community M this love is their hope. Those in need can most perfectly see themselves as precious children of God when they look into the loving heart of a neighbor who cares. When we join our hearts, inspired by the Christmas light of Christ, we proclaim the joy and the power of the Kingdom of God.
