Food of the Cotswolds

While I would not describe the cuisine as gormet, it is definitely hearty, country fare. From Lardycake to Pork Pie to Clotted Cream, the tastes are quite varied and often delicious. An example might be my dinner at the Green Dragon Inn near Elkston. I began with a very nice salad of fig, gorgonzola and greens. Next came a steak and kidney pudding with smashed peas. That may not sound very appealing but it was very tasty. The pudding gravy was rich and the mint infused peas were a refreshing addition to the heavy pudding. Also, if you've never had clotted cream, well, it's just unbelievably delicious, especially on a chocolate brownie. That's about it for food.
