Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I just picked up a pulled pork and chorizo feijoada from M&S. Eeee, when I were a lass Vesta curries were considered exotic.

Whats you're favourite non-British food? Mine is a close tie between sashimi and Thai food.

Greek food is lovely. Went to Kefalonia few years ago and found the most amazing restaurant, and I tried everything - usually I'm a bit of a wuss with trying new food.

Also love a good Chinese meal.

Portuguese food is also tasty.

Bloody peckish now!

I think Thai at the moment, hot and sour soup .... but to be honest, I can't stomach much of what is traditional British food, too bland for me these days

Last time we went to London, Victoria was closed so we went to London Bridge. Just outside, on the way along the South bank, there was an amazing ethnic food market. Can't remember the name though.

(All at bloody London prices tho'

)

OP: Being a complete philistine, and not sure if Strawberry Cornetto counts as foreign food, I'll say I adore a nice donor kebab, with all the trimmings

I really couldn't pick a favourite cuisine but I love informal meals where enjoying the company of your fellow diners is the key ingredient ....

There's a great little Korean place on Covent Garden too ... we almost missed it when wandering around one evening and have been back a few times since, like a little café and doesn't look amazing from the outside but the food is outstanding

Trouble is most of the "foreign food" has meat in it, so as a veggie it's a bit limiting.

Of course Indian food is scrummy

Ooh, wouldn't mind knowing which one for when we're there next.

As for a favourite it changes by my mood tbh, however, on a cold winter day a steaming bowl of Vietnamese PHO is hard to beat.
