Oddly enough, I had the exact opposite experience last time I was in London. Amazing fish and chips, terrible Indian food. Worst saag paneer I've ever had. By far. And that's a low bar because I've had some really disappointing saag paneer.

Also, I was entertained when the South Asian guy at the Chippie asked me stuff like, "do you have a big car and a big house?" when he heard my American accent. I had to disabuse him of the notion that we're all wealthy. I wasn't even paying for that trip, it was an especially good contract work gig.

Are you a breakfast person? We normally just ate the biscuits from the hotel room and starved until lunch, but one day my dad and I was going to meet up with my mom and her sister for a traditional English breakfast. However we got lost and ended up in some tiny Cafe, God knows where. They were serving lasagna for breakfast, and it was delicious.

My mom and aunt actually found the place and had some beens and toast and blood sausage, they were not impressed.

I am definitely a breakfast person and a full English breakfast, minus the horrific beans on toast, is great. I'm not sure about lasagna for breakfast though. Seems like kind of a heavy breakfast meal.
