Myers of Keswick is one of great culinary treasures of Manhattan. It's been open for twenty-five years now on Hudson Street, between Horatio and Jane. It's a traditional English grocery store with great selection of imported products, everything from tea and biscuits to mustard and Marmite. It is also a butcher shop, serving pork pies, sausages, cornish pasties, scotch eggs, and shepherd's pies. The English and Irish cheese selection is also excellent. The homemade Cumberland sausages are absolutely to die for. A specialty of the Lake District in England and made fresh daily in the shop, the meat is pork, and seasonings are prepared from a variety of spices and herbs, though the flavor palate is commonly dominated by pepper, both black and white, in contrast to the more herb-dominated flavors of sausage varieties. I served them with mashed potatoes and currried beans, and they're a treat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Myers and Keswick also serves them wrapped in puff pastry as a sausage roll, and they're just too good to be true.
