Hi Amy Hi there
long time no see Nice to see you again.
How are you? Brilliant. So you do English jacket patatoes?
That's right. We call them jacket potatoes in England
whereas in America, they call them baked potatoes.
How long have you had this stall? We've been selling jacket potatoes
for five months now. Before we used to sell milkshakes.
Ok. So who's we anyway? Me and my husband.
My husband's Taiwanese. We kind of pulled this idea
together. We really didn't want to have a boss anymore.
It's great to not have a boss. Exactly. You can come and go
when you like. You said they're called
English jacket potatoes. What's different about your
jacket potatoes? We cook them for a little bit
longer, and make them really tasty. We also use traditional British
recipes that my mother taught me. Oh really? Your grandmother's recipes?
They get passed through the generations. We try to keep them as
traditional as possible, but sometimes it doesn't go for the Taiwanese
market so we tweak it a little. Sounds great. I'm kind of hungry.
Which one would you recommend? I recommend our signature
which is the Bolognese The Bolognese is your signature?
Yes. It's an Italian recipe. Italian? How do you know about
Italian cooking? My stepsister's fiance is Italian
so he gave me the recipe. He's got a restaurant in Italy.
He helped me with that. Let's have a Bolognese please
Great no problem fantastic
You can also eat the skin
on the potato. We wash it before and put salt,pepper and herbs on
the outside. Oh sure. I want salt and pepper and herbs
Really? That's fantastic. Good We add a little nutmeg to start with.
It really complements the potato.
How many forks would you like?
Two please. Thank you very much
Thank you very much You're welcome.
So look at that. It's going to be great.
Whose idea was it to have the stall? Both of us really. We didn't want to
work for a boss anymore. We wanted to open our own business. We thought
we'd start with a night market and then a shop in Banciao.
How about yourself. What brings you to Taiwan?
Ah, nevermind.
