Focusing on one food experience is something I could do, but instead I would love to give a general overview of the cuisine I have been able to eat.
Before I left for Europe I remember wanting to try fish and chips in America so that I could see and compare to the pub food that is so popular here.
The fish and chips I received here at the London Pub was LARGE. A much larger portion than what I could eat on my own. But I slowly figured out that even though it boasted in size, it somewhat lacked in flavor. The fried nature of the fish was something to admire at first, but about a quarter into the meal I realized that there really was not much going on. The fish itself held a good texture and fell apart in your mouth, but really held no flavor. The fried outside was fun at first, but it left your mouth wanting more as it was the same repetitive greasy flavor again and again bite after every bite. No variety. I also think they didn’t season the fish at all, it was as plain and plain as could be. It relied on the outside coating to take charge, which as I explained, got old fast. Now is the matter of the chips, again a large amount I was given, but not very high quality. The look and bite of them was great, but there simply was no seasoning! It was like biting into a potato. And I love potatoes, but it was almost as if they forgot to season these well roasted chips. I hate to say but, overall. The Fish and Chips I had in America than what was offered at this pub. I plan on eating Fish and Chips again before I leave to get a better survey of the foodscape.
Now I am no stranger to Tesco as we all have been well acquainted at this point with their Meal Deal. And a meal deal it is. While you won’t get anything to write home about (I find this funny as I am literally writing home about it). For about 4 pounds you get a sandwich, a bag of crisps, and a drink. Once I found out you can instead have a salad is when I truly started to enjoy their selections. Cheap meals that fill you up, not everything will be a 5/5 experience. But I can say confidently that while it’s not the most tasty meal in the world, it certainly is convenient.One of the best meals I have here was one of Gordan Ramsay restaurants. A Street Burger Restaurant. I got the Hell’s Kitchen Burger which was a delicious red onion jalapeno burger that came with a side of crispy seasoned chips and unlimited soft drinks. From the time I walked in, to the time I left, it was 22 minutes in total. Very convenient and fast, it was an overall 5/5 experience.
