Since Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, and Jack the Ripper, we have a pretty clear idea of how crime unfolds in Britain. Detractors of British cuisine can easily imagine the murderous qualities of such questionable dishes as lamb with mint sauce, bangers and mash, bubble and squeak, haggis, or blue Stilton, a cheese that is practically made up of blue mold. Or do you remember your last English breakfast (if you survived it)! And we haven't even talked about drinks yet. With the successful recipe of the France volume "Mussels, Mousse, and Knives," Ingrid Schmitz has compiled the best short crime stories that, in addition to suspense and thrill, provide deep insights into culinary Britain and offer recipes for you to try yourself. Don't be scared; we've tried them and are still alive.
