Royal Wedding food ideas

[KiKi Mouse]

I'm not a big royal watcher but I will watch the wedding on Friday later in the day with my family.

I was thinking it would be fun to have some British inspired food for us. I spent a little bit of time looking online but thought I would check with the people that seem to have answers for everything...lol

I am not going to have a big dinner party or anything. Just wanted to fun it up a bit in the house. I'll have to get some English beer for my husband in order to make him suffer through this...LOL

Ideas??

I went to our local English Tea Room earlier this week & bought some scones, lemon curd, Devon cream, and English breakfast tea!

We will be having tea and scones here too We are so excited! My daughter and I have it all planned to use the good china and have a proper British tea. It should be good fun. We even have gloves and hats for the occasion

I just spoke to my husband and asked him to get some British beer on his way home. I told him to get it today as it will fly off the shelves. He LAUGHED at me.

I told my mother we need some british teeth.

I have not found a British Tea Shop here just yet.

So I will hit Wegman's and their fancy dessert section. I saw some fruit tarts that looked scrumptious. It won't be officially British--but it will be fancy. And it seemed tasty for breakfast.

Probably have some Earl Grey tea with it as I don't like the Breakfast tea.

I was also contemplating a mimosa for the toast. Girls are having the Sparkling peach/apple cider that they were supposed to have on Easter, but I never opened. That is if they get up when I ask them to do so per their request.

I have some tea that I bought at the British Epcot pavillion. Speaking of which I think we will call the phone booths on Friday...tee hee

Twinings?

Yes--I have that as it is available in most grocery stores, though my recent stash may be from EPCOT.

But I can't find any bangers or pork pies or the truly authentic British stuff. My old publix did put in a British section in their store. So I could make beans on toast if I was there.

Fruit cake. It is the traditional wedding cake in England (and Canada).

Just finished making my scones and will be making a biscuit cake later today. It needs to chill overnight. Also going to get out the china and sit back and enjoy. Denise
