Odd British Bits

Texas remembers.

Fortnum and Mason – providers to the Royal Family (or something like that). In the food hall, my favorite, “British Honey.”

Phrases we love to hate.

Star Restaurant Review:
With a name like Live Bait, how could I pass it up?

The waiter was good, but I couldn’t understand much of what he said. “You from America?” He nodded. “I want go Massachusetts. Or California.” He nodded again vigorously. I paused. Mass? Bleeding Liberal State. Probably be a good destination for a 4th of July party. California? Invented California cuisine, the big plate/little serving stuff? Another liberal location. I mean, I’m a leftist liberal too, just not that whacked out.

    whacked out? WHACKED OUT?? All the world is mad except thee and me; and sometimes I suspect even thee.

    F&M is a great place to visit. Great window displays around Christmas time. They devote the entire bottom floor to teas, jams, and sweets. Its like nothing you’ve ever experienced. I love it.
