Oxford English Dictionary- Volume 1

Today kicks off a new series:

The Oxford English Dictionary

You'll learn some quaint cultural gems

that are specific to British life,

through my mishaps & daily stumblings

here in Oxford.

There are actually so many new things I've learned...

and if you are an Aspiring Brit,

like myself,

I think you'll find it this series to be

well... brilliant!

VOLUME ONE:

A rustic meal that features local daily staples...

Local meats, hunks of cheese, fresh crusty bread,

butter & chutney for spreading,

& a nice serving of fruits & veggies.

Delicious right?

Think of it as the love child of 
a deconstructed sandwich

&

a less pretentious anti-pasti platter.

It's become such a pub staple, 

that you'll now even see many offerings of the assortment

assembled as a sandwich

in restaurants & cafes...

I'm glad to have learned a fresh alternative

to heavy pies & mash 

or greasy fish & chips!
