Remember, remember the fifth of November…
Posted by Ashley on November 5th, 2008We’re having a party tonight to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. Back in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the British Parliament and as I take it the English tend to celebrate the foiling of the plot while the Scots celebrate(d) the attempt. In any case, mostly it’s a night for fireworks and bonfires in the UK. But as we have neither here tonight, we’re at least doling out the British food: beef and ale casserole with leek and mustard mash, bangers and mash (with onion gravy), and of course, sticky toffee pudding. We’ll be watching the movie V for Vendetta while we overindulge in meat, potatoes, and sticky toffee goodness. It’s as close as we can get to Britain these days.
