My first night in London I went to a 4-star French restaurant because really, you can’t fail. Then I went to the Food Hall’s at Harrod’s and bought mostly Champagne and picnic fare. I had a few meals in other restaurants including the ubiquitous fish & chips, but when I went to Dublin and had the same thing, I found I like the fish & chips in Ireland better. I was also introduced to the Banoffee pie in Dublin and will never forget it.

I had the best Chinese food I’ve tasted in my life in London. The Indian food I’d had there was the second best … first place goes to Indian food in India, not surprisingly. But, in both cases, that good food didn’t come cheap.

I’ve had good Indian food in America, it just didn’t compare to what I had in London. But I thought the Chinese food there was MUCH better than any I tried in America.
