In the midst of worldwide financial panic we (who were in London for a few days) turned to food.
First for a post-Eurostar lunch to
Leon for a quick and healthily delicious (or is that deliciously healthy?) lunch before visiting the Tate Modern...I had the chicken tagine with swede and pumpkin from their ever-changing seasonal menu...
Then here for dinner, to
St. John for the best roasted marrow bones with parsley salad this girl could ask for in a rather clinical atmosphere though. We all agreed we'd go back, if just for the marrow bones...
Also here (above), for a lunch at
Moro, first introduced to me via the gift of an excellent Moro cookbook by a very lovely
tea blogger. We ordered tapas before power window-shopping and shop visits with my friend Ann, (piquillo peppers with egg and anchovies, and other assorted goodies...)
And on my last night to my favorite new gastro-wine bar in the whole wide world, biased or no,
Vinoteca for an incredible meal of shared appetizers (wild mushrooms on toast, 5 spice rabbit and pork rillettes, sweet & sour aubergine, to an (unshared entree) perfectly roasted pork chop with jerusalem artichokes, purple broccoli with apple chutney...

Suddenly, my cereal tastes flat and insipid.
Bring on the marrow bones!

aaaaaahh!!! i'm so happy and jealous you went to st. johns! the thought of roasted marrows is making my mouth water.
I was gearing up to get some yogurt and granola, and sadly, that is just not going to cut it!
i'm salivating after reading all that you described.
and they say the British are not known for their food!!!
