I like this. Let’s see what is typically English for me?

Living in the South of England for many years I realised that British food is so much better than its reputation and it kept surprising me in many positive ways. A bakery even managed to create a sourdough rye bread that I would love to be able to buy here in Germany. It’s this openness to finding new food experiences and incorporating them into the normal ways of life, that is typical English to me.

That - and the South Downs. Such a beautiful landscape!
