Jeff's Recipes for Great British Eats!

Americans eat British food every day. Each time an American goes to McDonald's and orders a "Big Mac" n' fries, he or she is ordering up an Americanization of a couple of great British classics -- a "sandwich" and "chips!" Legend has it that the "sandwich" was invented by the 4th English Earl of Sandwich long ago after he discovered how handy it was to place a bit of meat between two slices of bread for a snack (to sustain him during his long gambling binges). "French fries" were being eaten in Great Britain way before we started gobbling them down here in America; they are known as "chips" over in the U.K. (Click here for a glossary of British food terms that differ from ours in the U.S.)

Well, you can't come from a family with classic British names like Murrell (English) and Owen (Welsh) and have absolutely no affinity for things British. I'm a second-generation Anglo-American, and I certainly do. So, to that end, I present some simple, traditional recipes which I have Americanized for my fellow Americans to try out and find out that British food totally ROCKS!
