There's this incredible indian place right near Victoria station, when you leave, go diagonally right and down that street next to the building with the bombing damage.. might be a museum of some sorts... anyways... go there and get a Lamb Vindaloo and send it to me.

Thanks.
 
The very first a few days in UK, I stayed in the Grovnor Hotel above the Victoria station. I had experienced my first English breakfast of fry-ups. I realised I had made a terrible mistake in coming to the country of yacky food.

I've waited years, I most certainly can ;)
 
English breakfast doesn't hold a candle to Scottish breakfast. In one meal - on one plate, at 8 in the morning - I was served 3 huge sausages, 2 thick slabby pieces of bacon, a big slab of some sort of ham, a pile of indistinguishable greyish meat...and sliced tomatoes.

To this day, remembering the smell makes my stomach queasy.

That was nae breakfast, just an appetiser!

Deep-buttered and fried Mars bars. Myth or nae myth?

Nae myth. In fact they are also on sale in one of Paris' finest restarants.

People. Please keep in mind that we are getting culinary opinions from a person raised on Haggis.

Christ. If they'd brought me all that, I would've fainted.

Please don't quote me on this but i think you will find that "battered Mars Bar" was originally an Australian invention (?)

A small fish and chip shop just near Bondi Beach (god this has "tourist trap" written all over it) started doing it about 10 years ago and since then has become a hit in many different places around the world.

Now i have never had one, nor have i ever seen one for sale.

Would i eat one? hmmmm depends how brave or drunk i was at the time :D
