I hope they include a section for imported items from England; every now and then I get a craving for the food I remember from my childhood: Cornish pasties, steak &#038; kidney pie, Ribena, bangers, pork pies, and the like.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I can take care of it myself. I haven&#8217;t done it recently, but I used to make steak &#038; kidney pie once or twice a year, and I have some friends who requested a standing invitation for anytime I made it. My daughter starts drooling if I mention that I might make Yorkshire pudding.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a place over on Havana called The English Teacup. They sell imported food items and some souvenirs and household goods, or, at least, they used to. It&#8217;s been a couple of years since I&#8217;ve been by.<\/p>\n<p>It used to be owned by a woman named Jeanne (I don&#8217;t remember her last name), but she sold it to a younger couple several years ago. My mother used to go there regularly &#8211; it was amusing to hear her native accent reassert itself almost the moment she stepped through the door.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I hope that at least one Tesco in the Denver area is convenient to me. Then again, I don&#8217;t know how convenient it has to be &#8211; my daughter and I seriously contemplated driving to Amarillo, Texas just to get some barbecue (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?hl=en&#038;client=safari&#038;rls=en&#038;q=dyer%27s&#038;near=Amarillo,+TX&#038;radius=0.0&#038;latlng=35221944,-101830833,18315384794860671710&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=local&#038;ct=authority\">Dyer&#8217;s<\/a> &#8211; winner of the Texas Sesquicentennial Barbeque competition). We never did make the trip just on its own, but we did combine it with a trip to San Antonio. Good eatin&#8217;. Have to do it again, sometime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesco is apparently coming to Denver.
