In the US, pigs in a blanket are sausages wrapped in biscuit dough or crescent roll dough and baked so I think that is why they are called this. Americans might not buy a sausage roll because they wouldn't know what it was. My mom would adlib sometimes and take a triangle of bread and wrap it around half of a hot dog, held together with a toothpick and baked. We were kids so they were a fun rainy day lunch or snack for us. USA Shepherd's Pie is most often made with ground beef.

I thoroughly enjoyed your review of Gordon's dishes from a British perspective. On the American palate as it relates to the food reviewed (me from Mid Atlantic region) tartar sauce is still the standard with fish. and of course ketchup. I've seen Brits reviewing fish and chips with curry sauce and brown gravy. It just would not really appeal to Americans. Maybe the curry at some point, but we don't have the curry tradition here like you do. Mushy peas would probably do ok on the menu since peas are popular in the US, probably the name would put people off. Shame though! Beef wellington has never lost its status as a top notch meal of the wealthy since it became popular in the 50/60's. Esp popular after Julia Child's cookbook was published This is beef country and we do like our filet roast. I'm puzzled why it is thought to be British I thought it was French in origin, Lastly, on the lamb, I think by and large Americans prefer a less lamby lamb. Again, great review, I wish I could visit Hells Kitchen.

You can get absolutely amazing meals in Las Vegas. Michelin stopped rating restaurants in sin city because they weren't selling enough guidebooks to make the research worth their while. Some of the restaurants still advertise their former rankings. I've had breathtaking meals on and off the strip, but they are MUCH less expensive off the strip. Still Michael Mina's tasting menu was very memorable, with absolutely impeccable Continental service. Kaiseki Yuzu was even better, though the service was Japanese elegant rather than Continental showy. 8 Kitchen in Henderson and the Berlin Cafe were also excellent, as was Naisso Korean BBQ. Our son and his wife live in the area, so when we visit we love trying food that is not available in our culinary backwater.

My prayers for a speedy recovery Nicola. The prices for the meals didn’t surprise me. Gordon Ramsey +Vegas= $$$$$ The fish looks very tasty, I love apple cider vinegar and hot sauce on fish. I’ve had malt vinegar a few times on fries, it was good. Now the scotch egg.. initially it was a no for me but I remembered that our friends from the UK are in United States trying food they we love so I have to reciprocate so if given the opportunity I will try a scotch egg, hopefully hard boiled. Gordon has a unique take on pigs in a blanket, that looks more like a pretzel dog. My family loves Shepherds pie, make with ground beef, brown gravy, peas and carrots, mashed potatoes. The beef Wellington was too rare for me. But I need that Sticky toffee pudding in my life! I would give up all the other food for that sticky toffee puddings 😋

Yeah, I get all the other stuff you get at a British 'chippy,' but that's not really a Fish & Chip shop, mushy peas yes, tartar sauce no, where is the Malt Vinegar? Ah, you waited a beat as it's not Nicola's favorite. Good portion of thick fish for most US locations, too often very small stingy portions of fish. For casual dining you might get a side of coleslaw, a good one is a nice palate cleanser for the rich and fatty fish & chips. Not easy to find or make Mushy Peas in the US since they are harvested as Fresh Garden Peas and not left to mature and dry as Marrowfat Peas. Pigs in a Blanket? British? Thought that was a 1950s Americana Betty Crocker thing. Sausage Roll or Toad in the Hole I'll accept as British.

When I was in school in the '70's (in Texas), we would have pigs in a blanket on the school lunch menu. It was always a sausage (hot dog weiner) wrapped in dough and baked. I've NEVER had a pig in a blanket that was wrapped in bacon. SO, I think that's just a difference between England and America. If an American reads pigs in a blanket on a menu, we'd expect is to be a sausage wrapped in baked dough. GR probably had to figure that out when he came here. It may have ground his sausage to acquiesce to our expectations!😂🤣

Beef wellington history The history of Beef Wellington is unclear, but it's generally agreed that the dish was created to celebrate the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, and his victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The Duke was given his title after defeating Napoleon Bonaparte the year before. Some believe the dish may have been named after the duke to celebrate the end of Napoleon's imperial domination of Europe

Once out of curiosity I got a can of Batchelor's mushy peas from the British section of a local store. I didn't like it. I suspect it's something you have to grow up with. I don't think you could sell it to Americans. Have you had split pea soup? It's made from the same type of peas that are used for mushy peas, but it's typically flavored with ham, and often has carrot and celery in it. I like it a lot more than mushy peas. You can buy cans of it in American supermarkets, but it's much better home made (and not to hard to make, either). It's interesting that the doors behind you are labeled "IN" on the left and "OUT" on the right. I know you drive on the left in Britain, but do you also walk on the left? No one paid attention to the signs, anyway. The one place I know where "in" and "out" are strictly enforced is the doors to a restaurant kitchen. They don't want two waiters to collide when going through the doors, especially when carrying plates of food. If you go through, say, the "in" door, and you decide to turn around and go back, you must go through the "out" door, even if it's been only half a second. Ground beef with a mashed potato crust is supposed to be called "cottage pie," but I've seen it offered in restaurants as "shepherd's pie". The potato in the shepherd's pie that you tried looked very yellow. Is that normal? I would expect the pea puree with the scallops to be made with sweet peas, not the starchy ones that are used for mushy peas. I have a theory that if you ate Beef Wellington followed by a Napoleon, you'd get terrible indigestion as they fought it out in your stomach.

Glad y'all reviewed all three restaurants for us from the home town perspective. I'll make sure I get that sticky toffee pudding if I ever go to hk. I love shepherds pie, but I think I might avoid the one you got if I went there. My favorite restaurant on the strip is hot n juicy crawfish.

Those are pigs in a blanket in America . . . the other is bacon wrapped sausage! LOL We call the "large" fries that you all are talking about - which are the same length just about as the regular fries - but we call them cottage fries or steak fries.... We have shephard's pie at quite a few restaurants - but usually with ground beef or roast meat with the mashed pots on top and of course the veggies inside too. I've made it at home actually - it's pretty easy to make! You know your food wouldn't roll off your fork if you didn't use it upside down! LOL Holding the knife all the time I have to chuckle - we are taught to keep one hand in your lap (at least I was growing up for proper table etiquette...not so much today) - only take hand out of lap to pick up knife to cut meat etc. then knife is put down and hand back into your lap . . and fork used to pierce food or scoop it . . impossible if used upside down . . .lol

That shepherd's pie doesn't look right even for an American like me. There used to be a restaurant called tippins and before they were called Tippins they were called Pippins. They used to have the best shepherd's pie no weird artisanal vegetables poking out and about and they had the best gravy with mushrooms in it to go on top.

the way you are describing the Shephards pie is that its not been cooked long enough. If it was cooked longer the wine taste wouldnt be so strong, and with the uncooked veggies also im betting thats the issue.
