Traditional British Food

[TastyReuben]

I recently found out that there is a typical British place in Milan called “The Friends” that cooks British food and of course there is Sunday Roast on their menu.

I worked today (two more weeks and then it is over) so I couldn't go but I will definitely do it on the first free Sunday before I leave for Ireland.

You know, of course, when you get to Cork, all the pubs will be serving lasagna and chips!

Lasagna, uhm? Never heard of this

I forgot to say that that British restaurant is run by Italians, not British people.

Our first restaurant in Ireland:

MrsT - “Oh look, the lasagna comes with a side of chips. That’s different.”

Possibly the best English breakfast in London is at the Regency Café, founded in 1946 by Antonio Perotti and Gino Schiavetta. It's now run by their children.

That is directly from their menu. I believe there has been a price rise recently, but most dishes are still under a tenner. the advantage of Chips with Everything.

Even chips cost a tenner in London so thats impressive pricing!
