I have questions about english cooking, recipes, names of dishes etc... . they all stem from conversations with some friends who lived in england.
If a person went into a bakery in england and asked for a dozen bran muffins, would the counter person tell that all they have, is what we in north america call "english muffins" ?.
If a person asked for a tea biscuit in an english restaurant, would they get a "cookie", or a regular buttermilk biscuit ?.
Our friends also told us that, if an english person gave us a recipe, it wasn't an english recipe if it was not printed in a cook book published in england. Is there any substance to that comment ?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff.
