[img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif[/img][/quote] I didn't realize that the community with the liver meatloaf was the one you were JOINING! You're old enough to know your own mind, so all I can say is that you must really love that Community. I don't THINK it's a common English dish, but the English do eat more organ meats than we do, and you said the Community was poor, so, who knows? The English eat some odd things--blood pudding and blood sausage are two other things I could never bring myself to try. But, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding? Yum! And, I confess that in all the times I've visited England, I've never tried steak and kidney pie. I just can't face it. And, if faced with liver meatloaf, I seriously think I wouldn't be able to eat it, or if I did, I would throw up immediately after. I hate liver THAT much. I don't think of myself as a fussy eater, but I have limits. I could never join an Order that required you to clean your plate (but that's in part because I go through periods of nauseousness where I can't eat very much)--I'd prefer to just skip dinner that night altogether. And, didn't you say in an earlier post that they served brussels sprouts at the same meal? I don't hate brussels sprouts as much as I hate liver. It's just that my mother served us brussels sprouts a lot when I was growing up.

[/quote] I'm not sure if double-cream is the same thing as clotted cream--because clotted cream is so thick you really can't pour it. But, yes, the English do have a way with cream, and they put in on everything. Heaven on earth! You can get Devonshire clotted cream in the U.S., but you have to hunt for it and it's very expensive. I've found two upscale grocery stores near me that carry it, and once in awhile I buy some for myself as a treat to eat with fresh scones and jam. I love English desserts of all kinds--it's my English grandmother coming out. I also love English candy.

Do you have a photo of said dish? or of any of the food? You know how we are around these parts I think I recall seeing some of your photos of your visit but all I really remember is that you like taking pictures of clouds!

[/quote] I'm not Vee, but as far as I know, the Carmelites are vegetarians, although I'm pretty sure they also eat fish. (Vee took picures of the food on her visit, and at least one meal there was fish.) But, I don't know how often they eat fish--it may vary by community.

[/quote] Yes it's true LC likes taking pictures of clouds! Oh about the Carmelites, yes it's true they don't eat beef pork chicken etc unless it's required for health reasons. They do eat seafood though and lots of vegetables, and yes even pie This seafood diet is hinted at in one episode of the Teresa of Avila miniseries ( which will be starting on ewtn tomorrow July 3) where a novice is shown cleaning a fish, gagging and running out of the room!
