I saw lashing of gravy and thought, oh, another one of those weird sayings you have to be local to understand.
Not sure what you’re asking, marg.
what the heck is bread sauce? Sauce made of bread, sauce for bread, sauce for your money......... ? I've never heard of it. Could be the last one, in that case.
Oh…okay, I looked back at the menu and that is listed with the Sunday roast: Chicken.
So, per BBC, bread sauce:

Tomorrow, at an obscenely early time, I’m off for my “I think I’ll pop over to Paris for day” day.
Eurostar at 6:01 AM (I have to be there at 5:00 AM for Customs and passport control)
then…
Sainte Chapelle
Louvre
Notre Dame
then…
Eurostar back to London for a nightcap and possibly hydrocortisone (due to walking over 100 miles so far, resulting in a vicious attack of exercise-induced vasculitis, AKA Disney Rash, AKA Golfer’s Rash)
Bon voyage, mes amis.

But shopping!! Where is the shopping in this plan?
With that adventure, I can really help.
Well. That is something completely new to me. Thanks.Oh…okay, I looked back at the menu and that is listed with the Sunday roast: Chicken.

I’m now picturing bread lashed to a full gravy boat.
so it sounds like if one started to make American dressing/stuffing and changed midstream to be chipped beef on toast, without the beef. Sort of.

I won't be making it ahead and reheating it. My hob is down.
Hi all…
Trying to catch up.
May 5: There is SO MUCH CULTURE & culinary options here. But on this day I was simply hungry and wanted a good meal prepared by good chefs. Second Dishoom restaurant at Kings Cross did not disappoint.
Opted for chicken biryani with fresh cranberries, raita, and warm naan.
To balance restaurant meals, I buy salads or hot toasties at Pret a Manger.
And some days, dinner is a bag of Tyrell potato chips (crisps!) and a big Cadbury Dairy bar.

May 8: Tim Burton exhibit at Design Museum
I wanted to try the afternoon tea: a quirky homage to Burton. But not willing to pay £40 ($53) for quirky.
May 9: Kew Gardens
Lunch was a tasty wedge of roasted cauliflower topped with sautéed mushrooms and some unidentifiable, tasteless smear of white.

Thank you Mailyn your photos are amazing and bringing back some wonderful memories....continue to enjoy your wonderful journey.....
Monday night: Sky Garden
I planned to order bar food once up in the garden, but they’ve changed their policy since it was published. Meaning my $20 entry fee provided a glass of wine/mock cocktail and the views. I hadn’t eaten lunch or dinner but the views were worth it.
I chose my entry time during sunset and later. The next few photos will be taken from the 35th floor of the building on the left.

Gorgeous photo, Marilyn, thank you!
Tuesday, May 13: So remember when I didn’t get to have lunch or dinner at the Sky Garden? That was okay because I had reservations the next day for here:

And while I was eating, look who showed up for a photo shoot for their Instagram page:
Yep…that’s Peggy (and my used napkin). She smiled at me, so I told her I had all her recipe books and thanked her for making me a better baker.
It was LITERALLY the buttercream icing on the top of this trip.
