►  SARASOTA [Lakewood Ranches]   A Scottish restaurant called Macallisters.  Has a bar, Scottish dishes including haggis.  British owners Malcom and Karen Romney.  Tel. [941] 359-2424
►  ST. PETERSBURG    Madeleina Cottage English restaurant  [727] 367-1727. British owners.

► NOTE:    Daft USA law, in place since the 80s, prohibits the import of any meats from UK.   So our delicious bacon and sausages are not available in the USA and we have to eat their tasteless substitutes. The photo below I took of a shop window in Bath. It's a sausages-only gourmet butcher's, which makes and sells English sausages of all varieties.   I gazed and sniffed longingly, but alas the photo was all I could take back to Florida. The good news: Irish bacon is allowed to be imported and is as tasty and well-sized as English bacon. You can buy Irish bacon and Irish black pudding at the British shops in Florida listed on this website.

►  BRITISH BANGERS...the nearest thing to UK sausages you'll find in Florida. Utterly delicious and supplied to many British and Irish pubs around Florida, they are home made by Murvest Foods in Ft. Lauderdale, owned by John Murphy [Irish] and wife Sylvia [Australian].  You can buy them yourself to enjoy at home.  Delight your dinner party guests with classic Bangers and Mash and onion gravy. You have to buy a case of these but they go fast, freeze well and I give some as presents to British friends.  Murvest will ship them direct to your home or go in person to pick them up from their Ft. Lauderdale premises close at I95 and Commercial Blvd.  Call Murvest   [954] 772-6440 to order.  Make sure to ask for the British Bangers [they do other types of sausages and foods too]. Tell them Patricia sent you.--PK
