Today in England we celebrate St George's day. To mark the day I decided to cook some truly British grub in the form of bangers (sausage) and mash with caramelised onion and cider gravy...just a shame the dish didn't really go with the beautiful warm Spring day we have experienced today with the temperatures touching 20oc.
The sausages were delicious apricot and sage sausages and I believe sausages are the few savory foods that can get away with a pinch of fruit in them. Hubby has a sasuage making kit winging it's way to him now, so soon we'll hopefully be having a go and making our own sausages.
Bring on the summer I say - BBQ's, Pimms, Eton Mess, raspberries, eating alfresco, drinking wine on the patio, drinking cider with friends while camping...need I say more.

Oh that looks lovely (apart from the apricots!) and I really wish I'd made more effort with dinner now..I haven't had sausages and mashed potatoes for ages.

My daughter is a St. Georges Day baby! I think looking at your photograph we should have had sausage and mash.
ReplyDeleteA sausage making kit winging its way to Derbyshire - not that's serious gadgetry!
