Beware the food baby

The food in London is so delectible that our group routinely uses the phrase ”I have a food baby.”  That is, to eat so much your stomach looks pregnant. Not the most delicate of phrases, but that’s what happens when surrounded by such great cuisine.

Bangers and mash is by far my favorite dish and a staple at English restaurants. Sausages, creamy mashed potatoes, and onion gravy. Sooo delish!

Ordered this at a local pub and savored every bite

I also can’t stop ordering fish ‘n chips. Always served with the staple chips and “mushy peas” but the caliber of batter and fish vary from restaurant to restaurant.

Ordered this in Cambridge--the best I've had so far

Meat pies and plates of cheeses, bread and pickles are also popular here.

And of course, there is an unlimited variety of tasty beers and ciders. Don’t forget, the pub is key to the English lifestyle!

Dozens of flavors, colors and sizes

My personal fav: STRAWBERRY BEER

But one of the best cuisines of all in London is actually the indian food. You can find an Indian restaurant on every street and the food is mouth-watering good. I love to order thali, which comes with a little bit of everything and usually involves some sort of curry, daal, rice, vegetables and pickles.

I’d also like to give a shout-out to Pret a Manger, found on every corner here in London. They offer a variety of freshly made sandwiches and salads for 2-4 pounds each. Great when rushing to work or for lunch breaks.

Healthy food on the go--beats Mickey D's

The sweets are also plentiful. I personally can’t stop eating turkish delights. Quite good indeed.
