| Just for fun, if you were having a Downton Abbey viewing party, what foods would you serve? |
| The Post food section covered that this week. And there is a cookbook out of Downton recipes. |
|
The Post's suggestions were a snooze, and I don't own the cookbook.
I was just looking for some creative ideas. |

If you're looking for classic British recipes, you can't go wrong with Delia Smith. Her website is www.deliaonline.com.
She has recipes for all the usual ones like steak & kidney pie, mince pies, sausage rolls etc and then some. Personally I would record the episode and do it as a tea party the following weekend. Nothing like a classic cream tea! Scones with clotted cream and preserves, cucumber or mustard-and-cress sandwiches, bakewell tart, Victoria sponge...the possibilities are endless! |
I'm too lazy to look it up, buy you should go back to the first episode and make that chicken dish, and then sprinkle something that looks like that poisonous stuff Daisy almost put on the chicken!
Or you can make soup, in honor of the soup kitchen they set up for the returning vets! |

Make this. Thank me later.

| You should make piccalilli. |
| Turtle soup. Wasn't that big back then? I think it was on the Titanic menu. |
|
| They are always serving salmon mousse on that show (yum?) |
| What a great post! I can't wait until tomorrow night. |
