Food Porn: A Guide to British Food Thus Far

I've been told time and again that the English don't make good food. And with the exception of fish and chips, this is largely true. However, in a city as diverse as London there are plenty of good opportunities to find food worthy of inducing a 'foodgasm'.

Most places make a really good fish and chips. Particularly the chips pretty much never disappoint. Somehow the British also manage to make pretty good gourmet burgers, which are different to regular burgers and a bit more expensive but apparently worth it. Bangers and mash are also really good. I've yet to have a proper British breakfast.

For some reason the British also excel at making hot chocolate. Most places make it the right sipping temperature to prevent burning. The absolute best hot chocolate uses Cadbury's hot chocolate mix, but nearly every place I've been to has had an excellent presentation of the hot drink (as you shall see below, the best one I've come across).

Foreign food is also really good in London, especially because there are so many different nationalities of people living in the city. My favorite example of this is the crepe food truck that operates outside the entrance of the British museums. You can buy a crepe, sit outside the steps of the huge British Museum and take a bite of deliciousness while feeling smart at the same time.

Also really fantastic is the food in Chinatown, located near the theater district. Not only can you find a cheap meal, but it'll also be really good and really large. I had a vegetable noodles which tasted surprisingly fantastic.

Despite all the lovely food I've talked about, and the even more lovely pictures of food below, I'm not quite done food porn hunting in the city of London. Just today I had even more amazing food and took more pictures to remember it. There will be more food porn blogs in the future. But for now, enjoy these pictures.
