The area where you will be staying in London, Hammersmith, is well-served by some excellent restaurants, including a number of ethnic ones and some organic/healthy eating ones. I will make sure that I have a list of places ready for you on arrival in April! Tricia wrote a reply on the 5-PATH group about the type of food you will find in England, but I think it was what we call 'tongue-in-cheek' and the dishes she mentioned, although very classic English, are not what you will find in the majority of restaurants we have here - actually more likely to be found in Pubs instead! In modern British restaurants, most mysteriously, the more money you pay, the bigger the plate and the smaller the portion - strange but true!
Thanks for the great bit of information. I know that this trip is going to be great. I look forward to seeing you and all the grads in the London area as well as making lots of new friends as well.
Strange about the large vs. small plates though. 😉
See you at the Week of Power in a few months! We'll eat out some place nice.
Hey Cal
I like to use chop sticks. It makes my meal seem more elegant and I tend to enjoy each bite more. Another tip is to eat between 4-8 almonds twenty minutes before your meal.
