Proper bacon from the butcher or farm shop is a must when I'm back in the UK.
We took some proper bacon back home with us once after a trip to the UK. While we'd had the exact same stuff during our UK stay, it didn't taste right in France. Weird! So, from now on it's a holiday food only!
None of us like UK sausages.
Very strange!
Have you also noticed that no other country can make sausages as good as ours? I remember the French version as I hated those in particular.
Anja - Oh yes, supermarket sausages tend to be pretty disgusting. You know, I don't think I've ever tried any German sausages. Must admit that I didn't enjoy the dumplings that seemed to be put into practically everything I ate whilst in Germany - they initially tasted nice, but appeared to turn into concrete once they hit my stomach. However, they have lovely hospital food over there as I found out when I was stuck in a clinic in the Black Forest for 3 weeks! German desserts and cakes are often pretty damn good, too.
I'd have bitten your hand off for cottage cheese during cruise, Jo (well, almost). Which supermarket did you find it in? Hope you enjoy!
