Drinking these without the rum will keep you from pain! From the British Virgin Islands. The cocktail was created by George and Marie Myrick of the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke Island, British Virgin Islands, in 1971. It is served in almost every resturant and on every island in the British Virgin Islands. It is now considered the official dirnk of the BVI’s.
This is a recipe I found many years ago for authentic Fig Rolls, and they are almost better than the shop bought variety, much though I love the commercial ones! Try to roll out the pastry as thinly as possible, other than that, this recipe is a breeze to make. Fig rolls are a much-loved “biscuit” from my childhood days and I make them whenever I can as I now live in France, as we cannot get them here. Fig rolls are great for a mid-morning snack with a cuppa as well as being ideal for school lunchboxes, picnics, gifts and afternoon tea. (I have posted this recipe on Zaar especially for Lalaloula, who asked about a fig roll recipe in the British forum.)
I cannot believe there is no “recipe” for marmite on toast here! Okay, maybe calling it a recipe is stretching it a bit far, but it is a British breakfast classic, and if you LOVE marmite, you will love marmite on hot buttered toast! Use a nice nutty, granary bread and a cheeky little butter for the prefect Marmite in Toast extravaganza! Make a perfect pot of tea, Recipe #263420, for the perfect accompaniment and away you go, you’ll be saying “Cor blimey Guv’ner” in no time!
A bacon sandwich is a very British breakfast. This is my favourite version of it. The type of bacon to use is back bacon, not the typical American streaky bacon. Everyone has their favourite version of this recipe- this is just my take on a classic! My nephew is a picky eater and this sandwich was his first ever taste of bacon! To make this Weight Watchers friendly, I sometimes use the bacon medallions that have the fat trimmed off- if using these, reduce the cooking time so they don’t dry out. This is also excellent served in a white roll with a fried egg.
Bulgarian Roasted Peaches are a perfect example of the dichotomy of Bulgarian desserts. They are either exquisitely simple like these roasted peaches or elaborate, sugary affairs like Bulgarian baklava. Recipe from About.com.
