The Oldest Pub in London?

Friday, April 1, 2011

Being the typical tourists that we are, Janna and I followed our empty bellies and handy guide book to a sketchy alley where Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese was located. It claims to be one of (if not THE) oldest pub in London.

Not sure whether their claim to fame is true, but it sure had a ton of ambiance. Dark, moldy and woody… tiny inside too. I think there were a total of 6-7 tables inside the dining room. Lucky for us, we just beat out a group of Chinese tourists for the last open table… haha suckas!

To start, a nice cider… (rebuilt in 1667!)

You can barely make it out, but the magazine clipping is from 1886.

Scotch Roast Beef served with Horseradish Sauce, Roast Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding:

Ye Famous Steak and Kidney Pudding served with Roast Potatoes:

And a nice Sticky Toffee Pudding to finish!

Amsterdam – Part 2 (Keukenhof)

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

As part of our second visit to Amsterdam (waaay back in May of ’10!), we took the opportunity to visit the Keukenhof Garden on the last weekend of its “open” season. Billed as the world’s largest garden, it is a beautiful place with thousands of tulips on display — their colors were so bright it made your eyes hurt!

Rollin’ deep in our wooden shoes!

What’s a post about Europe without food?! In this case, a Dutch favorite… pickled herring. YUCK! This is one case where Rick Steves totally did me wrong. Slimy, fishy, and pure NASTY. No amount of pickles and raw onions could save me.

Fancy a bite? BTW, that one little piece was all I could take. Janna was a trooper though and finished the lot. Good thing I carried chewing gum for her.
