Fiesta Friday #595

Hello from across the pond, everyone! Yes, my family and I are still in the UK, but we should be leaving for home tomorrow, barring any cancellations out of Heathrow.

We’ve been enjoying lovely weather – is that what Brits often say to one another? Or is that just a phrase I picked up from Jane Austen’s novels?

What do Brits typically say when they greet one another nowadays?

“Whassup?” “Sup?” “Hey, homie?”

I actually did hear some of these phrases while walking around, so they’re not that much different from Americans, really.

We do have a lot in common, including the food. There are, however, several quintessential local specialties that can only be enjoyed when traveling here.

Here are some of them.

Bath Bun and the bigger Sally Lunn Bun behind it

Fish and Chips with a side of Mushy Peas

Halloumi Fries – They seem to be ubiquitous in the UK

This is obviously far from an exhaustive list because I’ve only travelled in one section of the UK so far.

Next time I come here, I’ll try to explore other parts of the country, specifically the northern part.

Okay, then, Fiesta Friends, let’s party!

But First We Look At These:

Chicken Burgers with Bang-Bang Sauce

“This is going straight on my to-make list!” Jhuls

Japanese-Inspired Potato Salad

“My family’s favorite potato salad! I did a taste test and the clear winner was the Japanese-style Potato Salad.” — Angie

Pineapple Ginger Cookies

“YUM! They sound so scrumptious!” — Angie

Suspiritos – “Little Sigh” Meringue Treats

“Perfect little bites of sweetness!” — Jhuls
