Bang On!

I went to the restaurant Elephant & Castle last weekend with a few friends to enjoy some English food and fun. Elephant & Castle is supposed to be an English Pub that serves English cuisine and beers, which I am sure isn't even close to an authentic pub, but I liked it anyway. After all of the random shots of whiskey it didn't really matter how authentic it was!

We started off with a few appetizers: brie with cranberry jelly, veggie spring rolls (so NOT English) and potato skins (so NOT English). Me and my girls eat brie with apricot at just about every single get together we have. It's our most favorite thing!

For dinner I had Shepard's Pie...my absolute favorite thing to eat. It combines meat (which I fucking LOVE), mashed potatoes (which I fucking LOVE) and veggies (which are okay) and makes it into a yummy warm casserole bake. If you didn't already know this...I LOVE casseroles. I love my food all mixed up together, which sometimes makes it look unappetizing to others, but scrumptious to me (more about my casserole addiction to follow).

I also brought home some Bangers and Mash for my fiance. I am not a huge fan of sausage, but I tried a bite of the bangers...and wow, it was really really good. It was extremely entertaining to order too!

Also, their fish and chips looked really good too...I think I want to move to London and live off of pub food!

I'm amazed that you like it so much. We have it all the time and don't consider it to be different.

London pub grub is extremely pricey. Expect to pay about $40 for what you had there.

Anyways ... 'traditional' English food is now Chicken Tikka Massala (Indian)
