Fray Bentos

Right before we left London to visit our families and friends back in the good ole US of A, we had our very first Fray Bentos experience. For those who have not partaken, it is a pie in a can. As you can see in the pictures, you just take the lid off the can and stick the can in a hot oven. For 2 quid… it’s not bad at all.

Twelve Years Ago… We Think…

17 December is the anniversary of my asking my beloved to be my girlfriend. I am not sure why we remember the date and not the year… but there you have it. In celebration, I brought her to Le Relais de Venice. Apparently they are in Paris, London, and New York. I heard some of my work colleagues talking about it and I just KNEW I had to take my beloved there. They only serve one thing: steak & chips (fries), and as anyone who really knows her already knows... she is a steak and potato kinda gal. The steaks are cut so that the cooking time is the same no matter how you order it. And they serve it in two portions…so you are starting with it hot and fresh again half way through. Unfortunately for you, I didn't need to take a picture of her eating it because I will never forget that look. She said, “You realize that you have ruined me for steak anywhere else.” Very successful trip, 13 yeses in a row, we think it’s 13 anyway…
