I think the question should be, which food doesn’t remind me of home?
There are a slew of meals, cuisines, as well as restaurants that are reminiscent of home to me.
The list includes (in no apparent order):
- Kebab – From that place on the high street that everyone goes to you, which you wait in the line forever for. That same said kebab my veggie self can no longer eat but dreams about on off days! Yes it is that good!
- Tandoori Corner – They specialise in Tandoori goods & they’re on the corner! Make sense? They are also known for their kebab rolls (no they aren’t the kebab shop above)
- Fish & Chips – Minus the fish I’d practically eat chips from any chip shop in the UK as long as they aren’t frying McCains & faking that they are hand cut/homemade etc. (Not that I wouldn’t devour McCains chips – but I wouldn’t buy them from a chip shop now would I?)
- Maroush – LEBANESE FOOD! In Knightsbridge there is food & as part of their food selection they have Lebanese & if you haven’t tried Lebanese you haven’t yet lived! So change out of your pyjamas & rush over to Maroush. It’ll be the first day of your life!!! Get anything! But don’t be boring & just go for a salad!
- Chicken & Chips! – As cliche as this selection may sound, it’s far from cliche. Who doesn’t eat chicken & chips in the UK? Well apart from me of course! When I speak of chicken & chips I am NOT referring to KFC! There are a grand selection of chicken & chip shops. Who wouldn’t want spicy chicken wings & some skinny chips topped with salt & your condiment(s) of choice? Obviously just to make things even more unconventional, majority of the chicken & chip shops serve the following:
- Burgers (chicken, beef, fish, rarely veggie) & chips
- Ribs (mostly lamb with BBQ sauce)
- Apple Pies (I’m talking deep fried with a munch to the crunch)
- A selection of all the fizzy drinks (sodas) you shouldn’t even drink after all the lovely tastes of your meal, but get one it makes the experience.
**I’m positive I’m missing a few items but you get it right?
What’s better is the box that your chicken & chips come in!!!
See below (I stole the picture from google, shhhh! Don’t tell it’s our secret)
- Brick Lane – You want a surplus of Indian & select Asian food? Please, please, please, please go to Brick Lane. What’s best? Ever heard of restaurant food bargaining? I didn’t think so! YOU CAN BARGAIN (between restaurants) FOR FOOD IN BRICK LANE! That’s how much competition is down there! Definitely a ‘Cheap Eat’ if you bargain correctly.
I’m sure my list could go on for days because I haven’t even started with the ‘Sweets & Treats’!!!
Thought this list was exciting? You may just want to live in London when I disclose my favourite ‘Sweets & Treats’ 🙂
