Good Food

Today Andy and I went to the Taste of London in Regents Park. It has loads of food options from local restaurants that you pay for with "crowns", the currency of the event. For between £3-5 each you get a healthy portion of what seemed like an endless supply of delicious options. The dishes we had were: Spice crusted tilapia with yogurt rice (v. good, Andy's favorite dish), Shezuan tiger prawns with blackened beans (my favorite dish), Chorizo and tomato salad (ok, not enough chorizo), Braised pork belly with chick peas and paprika squid (v. good), Mozzarella in carrozza - deep fried bread coated mozzarella (bit of a let down, too "eggy" for my tastes), Venison puff (v. good, first time having venison - pretty tasty), Chicken and asparagus salad (good) and Hot water crust pork pie and pickles (good). We also had some prosecco (I do love the bubbly). In addition to all the food available for purchase, there were tons of booths of exhibitors selling all sorts of food and drink items, and sampling beers, ciders, wine, coffee, etc. All in all it was well worth the trip out in the rain on a Sunday afternoon.


Oh, and Gordon Ramsey was there signing his cook book. We did not have one for him to sign, but couldn't resist taking his picture.
