We ate really well during our travels. Rhinoa’s aunt made delicious food
each night we stayed there. We had Indian curry and veggies our first
night, and cauliflower cheese our second made with fresh, local white
cheddar. We had cheddar
and cucumber sandwiches on homemade bread with homemade chutney for
lunch and freshly baked chocolate shortbread cookies for dessert. We had
traditional afternoon tea of scones, clotted cream and jam with English
breakfast in a restaurant by the sea.
In Scotland,
we dined at an upscale vegetarian restaurant that was absolutely
amazing. I don’t even remember the names of the dishes but they creative
combinations of ingredients and super tasty. We had a fancy afternoon
tea at the hotel. Tiny little cakes, scones with
clotted cream and jam, finger sandwiches and pots of Scottish breakfast
with a lovely little view of the gothic storefronts.

Once we returned home, I was so inspired by all the yummy British treats, I took my turn at making cauliflower cheese using daiya, bringing an English breakfast of scones, cream, and jam with my English Breakfast tea. I even had a very good friend over for my version of fancy afternoon tea.
