What is this?

It started on a whim, with me asking my boyfriend to cook me a meal and allow us to pretend we were somewhere in the UK, on vacation, in a pub, having a traditional Sunday roast.

And then we thought, could we keep up the illusion?  We can't travel right now, but we can cook (okay, Richard can cook), and we can take a journey through our stomachs across the world.

The idea is simple and not a novel one.  We'll visit a different country each Sunday by cooking a dish (somewhat) representative of that country.  My only requirement was that the order of the countries be somewhat geographically consistent.  Therefore, each country will be somewhere you could get easily on a bus, train, or short flight.

It's been a nice Sunday ritual to look forward to and to plan.  And the result is delicious, thanks to Richard.  A nice little escape during a crazy shitshow of a year!
