A few treats from London

Although Londoners are known for having some very bland food, eating just meat and potatoes, and boiling EVERYTHING I have found some great food.

In the market in Covent Garden we had Ben's Cookies. They are baked fresh and sold by weight. They had peanut butter full of whole peanuts, One inch chunks of white chocolate with cranberries or macadamia nuts, chunks of spicy-sweet ginger. They were unbelievably good!

Also in the market we had a Portuguese rice dish called Paella with veggies and seafood. We also got it on discount because they were closing up.

That night we watched the Olympic Gold hockey game at an Aussie Pub. The next morning we met my friend Barbara from South Africa (who lives in London) and my brother's girlfriend's friend Hanna from london and went to a restaurant called the Breakfast Club. I had a breakfast burrito and Banana Bacon French Toast. SO GOOD
We then spent the afternoon at the world famous Harrods. We had chocolates and cupcakes and asian foods. (Even ferrero roche cupcakes) The full displays from all over the world were unbelievable. We then looked at designer clothes, jewellery, and laid on patio furniture.

In another market in London we found a fantastic tea shop where they had a wall of tea. I had coconut black tea and Earl Grey with rose and lavender. That was only a few among the array.


This was a taste of my food in London and will be filling you in on Norway very Shortly.
