LONDON AND SOME FOOD EXPERIENCE
August 8, 2011 in Uncategorized
During this visit to London I am living almost like a local – with my gym membership, my local library membership and most importantly my oyster card – which allows me to travel in any direction locally by tube or bus. For the very first time I am travelling without hubby (who due to work commitments was not able to join me – much to his disappointment) – felt a bit weird initially but people are friendly and helpful and it is really great to be able to see and spend time with my children. As I have already done and seen most of the touristy attractions on my previous visits, I am now able to experience London without having to rush around at a frantic pace trying to see and do as much as possible in a limited amount of time.
I am currently enjoying browsing through the supermarkets – lol – and am amazed by the variety of fresh vegetable and fruit that are currently seasonal. I could not resist buying this cabbage called Sweetheart cabbage – it is also known as pointed, hispi or hearted. It is recommended to be eaten raw as it has a softer and sweeter texture than the normal cabbage. I made a crunchy cabbage salad from a recipe posted by blogger, Inspiration.
Fego’s in St Johns Wood for breakfast – egg benedict
Latte
The lovely Linda
St Johns Wood Church Grounds which attracts thousands of visitors all year round and has been over the years consistent in winning many awards organized by the London Garden Square society.
It also has a Woodland area for little creatures like squirrels – too cute.
Dinner at Richoux in St Johns Wood – it’s close to Abbey Road – where the Beatles had their recording studio and it is said that Paul McCartney still frequents this restaurant.
Chicken salad
Richoux famous fish pie with smoked haddock, salmon and prawns.
Happy women’s day everyone.

Is the lovely Linda your daughter? I posted a photo of the pointed cabbage when I was over there in June, I’d never seen it before. Glad you are having a good time.

Hi Sue, I wish I could say I had bumped into a famous celebrity while at Richoux – but lovely linda is my daughter. I am having a jaw dropping time seeing the different veg etc, Sue. There are some of your recipes that I have saved to make for my kids. Enjoy your day tomorrow, Sue.

St John’s is beautiful and so is that chicken salad:-) Trust you are safe from the riots we’ve been hearing about on the news.

Thanks, RJ – things are different here – its all about Human Rights and the cops are not armed and do not attack the looters.People have a lot to say if cops use violence. Nothing like back at home. U enjoy the rest of the week, RJ.
