First meal in England? classic
bangers and mash
(yes, they really make it look like this)Second? a hearty
English breakfast
(I didn't really like the black pudding, even before I knew what it was)Third? good ol'
fish 'n' chips
My conclusion: English food is pretty much like German food
—heavy, bland, and vegetable-less (steamed carrots are not real vegetables). There is some
redemption, though...
This week's best meal was Greek: I joined some friends from last summer and dined on the south bank (they visited London for the weekend and saw Romeo and Juliet—standing for three hours—at the Globe next door):
At The Real Greek with Mathieu (from Québec), Sara (from Spain),
Valkyrie, and Jeff Food at Google has some nice variety with an English flavour … more on that later!
English food gets such a terrible reputation, but I have to say that I enjoyed it quite a lot, myself. :)
ReplyDeleteIt all looks pretty gross to me.
