[Leica] Nathan's PAD 28/12/2009: two from Europe's southern end

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi Doug,
My wife and I were lucky enough to visit London this past fall.?Truly a 
thrill for us.
There were, however and as you suggest, some memorable gastronomical 
moments, mostly?related to indigenous food. But we also had some great Thai 
and Indian? food while visiting.
We did leave thinking that perhaps the service industries (restaurants, 
hotels, etc.) could use a bit of training in customer relations...
:-)
Best,
Bob

Bob,

The Brits are famous for hiding their food, Shepherd's Pie on the menu 
in the background is another - minced beef (should be lamb or mutton) 
topped off with mashed potato (typically made with the remains of the 
Sunday joint) - then there are so many different pies and pasties, both 
sweet and savoury, with plenty of pastry to hide the cook's evil doings.

We also hide sausages in Yorkshire pudding and calling it Toad in the 
Hole (perhaps it was at some time).

BTW: Mushy Peas are wonderful if they are made right

Although I think this line from Wikipedia is a little cynical:

"Mushy Peas is a popular and characteristic British dish that has helped 
to give British cooking its well-deserved reputation."

Cheers
Douglas
