CRAVE fitness: Food Abroad: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

I have to admit,

I panic a bit about food prior to any vacation, especially a trip to a foreign land.

Casey has gotten pretty used to my annoying food demands at home, but it would seem rather petulant to insist on searching all around unknown territory on foot for an adequate, by my standards, meal. And, don't get me wrong, I have no problem being demanding and petulant.

So it was such a pleasant surprise (for everyone) to find that England had amazing food. Who knew?! I had been stressing about the carb and fat-loaded Cornish pasties and Bangers and Mash for weeks! Turns out that the vast array of ethnicity's that make up the UK have led to an enormous assortment of food.

The highlights;

The Woodmen British Flat (pizza)- This was the boys dish...a field greens, cheddar and mushroom pizza from Union Jacks which is a Jamie Oliver restaurant in London. I HIGHLY reccomend it.

Spicy mustard-based coleslaw- This is what we, girls, ate:) Along with an unbelievable heirloom tomato salad.

hummus, red pepper couscous, butter beans and Turkish spinach flatbread...UNBELIEVABLE!!

If we had more time to spend in Sherborne, I would've taken advantage of this perfectly lovely little farmers market along the street where we stayed.
