I've been wanting to visit London for years now, so I was very excited to find this in my inbox. To be honest, the final food reveal felt a bit shocking to me. All that bougieness for fish and chips?? Which speaks more of my narrow mindedness than anything else! I used to visit foreign countries much more often in the past, but the last 5 years were strictly local. When they say that travelling opens your mind and horizon... It is true! As is the opposite. Being exposed to different cultures on a regular basis is so important.
With a Scottish mom, I grew up with British fare, though not of the “elevated” variety (except for roast beef for special occasions). However, I would studiously avoid it when in England, except perhaps, for English tea, which I love. Overhyped food often turns out to also be overpriced and disappointing, I’ve discovered. In England, I found some of the best food is made by immigrants. But that’s also true here too! But with hungry kids in tow, who has time to do research?
