-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 here? -We've been selling jacket potatoes

for maybe 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. So, were our own boss.

-It's great to not have a boss. -Exactly. You can come and go when you like.

I see. 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 fiancé is Italian

so he gave me the recipe. He's got a restaurant in Italy.

He helped me with that. -Brilliant. Let's have a Bolognese please

That's 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.
