Meals I have had at the in-laws the last three weeks:
corned beef, mashed potato and peas
corned beef pie with baked beans
shepherds pie with baked beans
cheese and pineapple on cocktail sticks
cheese and pickled onions on cocktail sticks
and in a ploughmans (with "picnic eggs")
etc.
There are literally no spices or herbs in the kitchen. Table salt and white pepper in shakers. There is no garlic, lemons or butter (there's margarine), there's no olive oil (there's vegetable oil), there's no mayonnaise (there's salad cream) there's no coffee (there's tea). There's NO BOOZE (there's tea). In summary, it's a working class family kitchen from the 1970s.
It's actually been quite nice. Kinda like a timewarp, cultureshock detox. Although tonight I am cooking boozy, herby, garlicky, lemony things and drinking a good chablis and the kitchen smells amazing. I'm sure my mother-in-law is pegging up her nose as we speak.
