Nostalgic for not-at-all-bad Brit food

Am direly craving for a proper Sunday roast after accidentally catching BBC's Food Heroes: Another Helping, hosted by Rick Stein. Why wasn't roast pork with apple sauce so cracklingly good looking back in my boarding school days? Saliva glands continued to work hard as he piped up apple pancakes with custard and cider =d Hmm custard... perfect comfort food.

Will now be haunted by visions of pork chops (note to HKers: of the edible kind), roast beef, lampchops, Yorkshire puddings, roasted potatoes etc until I find a place in HK that serves all the works the proper British way. For tomorrow at least, I'd have to make do with a full-on, full fat, full cholestrol "high fun yeen" [shredded crab feast] at Lau Yuen, as a mini self-consolating gesture for turning one year short of a quarter century old. *deep sigh at the rapid aging process*
