How to be truly British

Have you ever seen people dressed up as African warriors or wild animals, parading around for a group of German or otherwise equally amazed and entertained tourists, and you think to yourself, “What a sham!”? We all know that living in South Africa doesn’t mean we all have the Big 5 in the backyard (well everyone except my friend Mary, who literally does have elephants in her garden), and that this ‘wild African experience’ is mostly a tourist trap. In fact, game farms are now so overpriced that most passport-holding South Africans can’t even afford to go them, so pretty much only the tourists get to enjoy ‘unspoiled’ Africa. But I digress...

Deconstructed Apple Crumble

One of my favourite things in the whole world; warm, sweet and spicy apples with a cinnamon crumble and fresh whipped cream- double cream in the name of Britain I say! This is the dessert that results in my sister sending me back into the kitchen to make a second batch, and has even been known to lure me to her house in order to get me to make the quick version (stewed apples and ice cream). It is also the dessert I made in an attempt to impress the boyfriend's parents ;)
