December 23rd (And a smidgen of 22nd)

DECEMBER 22 

My family and I arrived at Heathrow on the 22nd, and when we finally got to Monxton is was time to start cooking. Fish pie was the chosen dish, and boy was I happy about that. Fish pie is quite the English meal, and I bet a few of you are questioning the idea of fish pie, but fear not, it is delicious!


Traditionally, fish pie consists of a white fish (cod), red fish (trout, salmon), smoked fish (haddock), hard boiled egg, cream sauce (Lea & Perrins, English mustard, cream, dill) with mashed potatoes on top. My family also likes to add baby shrimp. Fish pie is one of the only things I like with ketchup. 


Check out Jamie Oliver's website and see how he thinks fish pie should be made.

This little chef was determined to organize the fish in the most beautiful fashion.

Let The Feast Begin!

I have been completely crap at posting these past 11 days, I apologize to all zero of you who read my blog with real passion.

As I'm sure all of you know, it's holiday time, and holiday time - my friends - is a time of eating, drinking and yelling at your relatives. My personal favourite part of the holiday season is the food, of course.

Every year since I was born - minus 1999 and 2009 - I've come to England for a massive family Christmas. The food is always fantastic, the bickering is always entertaining, the gossip is most certainly juicy, and once again... the food is goddamn beautiful.

Anyways, here I am sitting in the dining room of Field House, patiently awaiting tonight's dinner of fish pie, drinking a Crabbie's Alcoholic Ginger Beer, next to my Lil Bro drinking a Master Brew, and dreaming of cheese...
