Euro to Pound Sterling !

19 12 2012

Euro to Pound Sterling gives that !

1 = £ 0.8163
5 = £ 4.0813
10 = £ 8.1626
50 = £ 40.8130
100 = £ 81.6260
500 = £ 408.1300
1000 = £ 816.2599

I found that a top is around £10 or £20. A dress is around £20 or £30. And a pair of jeans is around £30… So you see, it’s almost the same prices ! 😉

British cakes :p

12 12 2012

I want to present you some British specialty :

1/ Fat Rascal

A rough domed-shaped type of cake, similar to a scone, made with currants and candied peel and traditional in Yorkshire, especially in the famous Betty’s tearooms.

2/Victoria sponge

Named after Queen Victoria who favoured a slice of sponge cake with her afternoon tea. A traditional Victoria sponge is filled with softly whipped cream and jam and dredged with caster sugar.

 yummy…

 

3/Lemon Drizzle

A classic sponge cake made in many parts of England for Easter Sunday.

 

 

 

 

4/Battenburg

The distinctive check-patterned marzipan-covered cake is alternately coloured pink and yellow. The cake was created in honour of the marriage in 1884 of Queen Victoria’s granddaughter to Prince Louis of Battenberg, with the four squares representing the four Battenberg princes: Louis, Alexander, Henry and Francis Joseph.

 

 

5/Eccles cake

A small, round cake filled with currants and made from flaky pastry with butter and can sometimes be topped with demerara sugar named after the English town of Eccles in Manchester.

6/Chelsea bun

First created in the 18th century at the Bun House in London’s Chelsea district. The bun is made of a rich dough flavoured with lemon and cinnamon and rolled into a square spiral shape.
