About GUERNSEY
Dishes traditional in Guernsey cuisine are the Guernsey gâche, a rich fruit bread, gâche mêlaïe, apple pudding, bean jar, a type of cassoulet of pork and beans, and conger soup.
Home made ice creams, freshly caught crab and indulgent Sark butter spread with jam - Islander are passionate about their food and it's easy to see why. Rich in nature ingredients, Guernsey is renowned for its local produce that’s sourced straight from the ocean (or farmer’s soil) and served straight to your plate.
What is the difference between Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom?
Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man are British Crown dependencies, which means they are self-governing territories that are not part of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is a sovereign country that consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Here are some key differences between these territories:
Political system: Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man are self-governing territories with their own legislative assemblies, legal systems, and financial regulations. The United Kingdom is a sovereign country with a parliamentary system of government. Currency: Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man issue their own banknotes and coins, which are legal tender in their respective territories. The United Kingdom uses the pound sterling as its currency.
Citizenship: People born in Jersey, Guernsey, or the Isle of Man are British citizens, but they are not automatically considered citizens of the United Kingdom. However, they are entitled to British citizenship if they meet certain criteria. People born in the United Kingdom are British citizens.
