Food, Glorious Food!

Let’s face it. London has not necessarily always been known for its cuisine. However, once arriving and living in London, I am slowly but surely learning that not only is food in London delicious, but there are a few specific dishes that are out of this world! For example, just last week I had my first encounter with the famous dish of Fish and Chips. Fish and Chips is a dish with fried fish (usually cod) and thick french fries (or as Londoners say, chips). I went to the most amazing restaurant called the Rock and Sole Plaice. It was DELICIOUS! It was an extremely heavy dish (however I did get the large portion) but I was practically licking the plate by the end.

Another food in London that is extraordinary is the Indian food. I must say, I think it is the best Indian food I’ve ever had (and I’ve lived in New York City most of my life). My personal favorite place to eat Indian food in London is called Punjab. In fact, it is right down the street from “Rock and Sole Plaice”! On my first night in London I ate chicken tika marsala there (and buttered nan mmmm), and I have become addicted. It is pricey for a broke college student, but when I manage to stay below my budget for the week, I allow myself a delicious meal there.

So, don’t be afraid to try the cuisine! Every great city has something to offer, and I was completely and pleasantly surprised! London has GREAT food, and I can’t wait to try more!

I was more enthused about this than I look. It was so yummy!

Best Indian food ever!

Punjab! It is located right next to an awesome Astrology store in Covent Garden!
