This post has been in my folder for a long time and what’s a better day to post it than at the end of the four-day celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee!
If you have been watching the coverage on TV of the the celebrations, I am sure you have been enamored by the grandeur that they were. Of course critics have argued that at such tough economic times do these celebration seem befitting. To avoid any debate, I will just stay clear off that topic (although there is a part of me that agrees, but this is a food blog and I want to keep it that). I do understand that it is a big deal and maybe at such times you do need a reason to celebrate, even if it seems frivolous.
Nonetheless it was fun. It was like watching Kate and William’s wedding all over. And as befits a big British occasion, the rain was persistent and relentless.
