Lost Horizons

Carbs are back!

John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, is one of my personal heroes; not only did he carry on with his game of cards when he should have stopped for some food, but he gave his name to a staple British food, the sandwich, when he instructed his servants to serve him roast beef served between two hunks of bread.
Recent fads like the Atkins diet have told us that we don't need carbohydrates and bread has been in demise ever since, to be replaced with such horrors as soy burgers and alfalfa sprouts.
OK british food is not famous for its gastronomic delights but how can you knock such British staples as toad-in-the-hole, and cornish pasties.
Well the good news is, according to a nutritionist from New Zealand, feasting on potatoes, rice and white bread at bedtime does not necessarily make you put on weight.
So, now, where can I find a chip butty and curry sauce?
