Wow how the time really flies! Today marks exactly four weeks until I leave for England, which is part terrifying and part exhilarating. I thought in the next few weeks leading up to my departure, I would share some of the things I am most excited for in England, as well as some of the things I will miss the most. So here we go, food edition!
What I am excited for: Tea!!
I have been missing my quality English breakfast tea for a few months now. What we have here isn't really the same. There's just something missing that the tea direct from Britain has. Maybe it's the snobbery that seems to accompany tea in Britain.
What I'll miss: Mountain Dew
Unsurprisingly, Mountain Dew in the UK just doesn't taste the same. Probably because it's missing that key ingredient that makes it so fluorescent.
What I'm excited for: Quality Indian food
I love a good curry, but great Indian restaurants are lacking in Michigan. Luckily, England has a large Indian population, which means a great many wonderful Indian restaurants.
What I'll miss: Mexican food
Unfortunately, while England offers many sources of Indian food, it severely lacks in Mexican food. And by severely lacks, I mean I never saw Mexican food anywhere in my previous visits to the UK. My only source of Mexican food will have to be my own cooking. I hope any British friends I make will be prepared to be introduced to some spicy, taco goodness.
There's a lot more food that I'm excited for, and food that I will miss from home. One of the most difficult things during my month in Scotland was missing American food, if you can believe it. But I'm sure I can get over my lack of American food by delving into some great meat pies and fish and chips!
