I suppose that most people living away from their birth country miss some of the foods from “home”. For me it was hamburgers and kosher dill pickles to go with them. In butcher shops and restaurants they sell things called hamburgers, but they’re not real hamburgers. We go to very good butcher in Ludlow and they have hamburgers labelled 85% beef. Come on!
Susan has solved the hamburger problem by buying good rump steak and grinding it up at home. With high quality meat, these are really good burgers. But kosher dill pickles are nowhere to be found, at least not around here in darkest Herefordshire. Last year, Susan once again came up with the solution: she grew pickling cucumbers in the community garden and we found a good recipe on the internet. This recipe was from an American woman living in New Zealand who had the same problem as me.
I’m no cook, but I followed the directions and the results were almost like a New York deli. Thank you nice American woman in New Zealand.
