The flavors of both sandwich and potato chip continually amaze (and in some cases) repulse me. They really will put anything between two pieces of bread.

Compared to American chips anyway. <br />Hm, my favorite place to eat was at the markets, especially curry from Brick Lane on the weekend. Cheap and delicious, and you can eat while walking or sit at a crowded table and people-watch.<br />Also, jellie babies, but only the kind in the black packages.

Great question: I have loved and will go again if I ever get the blessed chance: Wagamama Noodle Bar, Belgo Centraal (Belgian cuisine, near Covent Garden), and Pizza Express. But our treat on our last two trips to Londontown (spaced 3 years apart) was the crepe stall on Westminster Bridge. We happened upon it our first family trip to London (Nov 2005, cold time of year) and it was dreamy munching on the bridge at night looking at Big Ben, the Thames, and the London Eye. When we returned to London last August (2009) we had to have another and they were delish but the spot was so crowded. If we went back we would try again if we could.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178225907455093962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-4360684128616950032010-08-25T15:50:31.389-04:002010-08-25T15:50:31.389-04:00I lived in the UK, on and off, for 20 years, and h...I lived in the UK, on and off, for 20 years, and have to say that the food has become sensational. I lived in Cornwall, so often went to London on my own, but never found it difficult to find beautiful treats. Mark and Spencers does a variety of scrummy foods for a hotel picnic. But, if I am dining out, I love Wagamama, Pizza Express, most places in Chinatown, but one of my favourite places for breakfast or lunch is The Wolseley on Piccadilly. It is worth the visit.

But one thing I don't eat, as it does not exist in any establishment (unless highly ironic resto -- not out of question in London, I suppose), is..."high tea." <br /><br />A high tea is served in the late afternoon or early evening (5 PM to 7 PM) taking the place of dinner. <br /><br />My grandmother used to shake her head (she lived in the States) when people asked her if she was having them over for "high tea" & what should they wear? (!) That would've meant she was inviting them over at suppertime when my grandfather came home from a hard day's work at a steel mill. He would've loved to see her friends, but not to eat tiny sandwiches, etc. after such a soul-sucking day. <br /><br />(Sorry, but I promised her that part of my life's work would be to eradicate this usage from America. I've done a miserable job. And I realize that you, Carol, did not say 'high tea'. But it will show up again. I'm just trying to prevent embarrassment & mocking of Americans by some Brits...)Susanhttp://www.unebricoleuse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-16240167528596331992010-08-25T12:51:46.231-04:002010-08-25T12:51:46.231-04:00I love Ottolenghi!
