Carnival of the Recipes is up. This collection of recipes from bloggers will be a weekly feature of this blog. So will the feature Grand Rounds, which is a collection of what's going on in Medicine and Healthcare blogs each week.

It is also a wonderful source for fatty starchy comfort foods just the thing for when a girl is feeling down as even the most lightsome of us do from time to time
Egads man - when you click on the page for "Recipes" - there is still an entire section devoted to "Offal"!!
You blokes need to work on that one......
That said - I think British food is loverly. I had wonderful food (and company) during my entire visit. Even the donner kebob was great.
And truthfully - if you link to some of the recipes up at the Carnival, there are some pretty awful American ones redolent in fat, carbs and other unpleasant ingredients lurking in there.
Linda: Doner kebabs ain't British, any more than tortillas are American... I will, however, give you the rubberstamp on the fact that Colonial food makes a trip to the UK that much nicer (as if it needed to be; British beer kicks the ass of all other beer... who needs food?)
Linda: This US prejudice against offal needs working on. Next time you come I am taking you to St John's Restaurant - where they specialise is 'variety meats' The marrow-bone jelly on taost is to die for and was a tea-time favourite of Queen Victoria
jwer - you are just silly and I don't know why we put up with you!
Campbell: marrow-bone jelly doesn't count, that's just runny Jell-O... haggis is what I'm talking about, and you know it... not to repeat myself, but why else would throwing it as hard as one can be such a highlight of the Highland Games?
Also, you put up with me because I'm adorable, ask anyone!
Durr! Ever eaten a haggis? They are delicious. haggis throwing is pert of no Highland Games I've ever heard of. No you're not. we are, on the other hand, becuase we put up with you :-)
Are you sure you're Scottish? Next you'll be telling me you've never heard of throwing telephone poles...
:o)
Also, while I've not had actual haggis (as it is illegal to import to the US, which should tell you something about its contents) I did have export haggis, which tasted like corned beef hash.
