We’re back from our sleepy extended Christmas holiday, and will be posting accounts of our Jamaican and Canadian meals in the coming days. (Matt’s Christmas present haul included The London Cookbook by Jenny Linford, a book we’ll definitely be consulting a lot this year. It’s a collection of recipes and stories gathered from a hodgepodge of London restaurateurs, shop keepers, market traders and immigrants, painting a picture of London’s food history and cultural diversity–we wish we’d written it!)
Also in the works is a new page on which we’ll be mapping out the rest of our mission, compiling a list of as many London restaurant options as we can manage for as many countries as possible. So keep those obscure suggestions coming. (Kyrgyzstan, Tuvalu or Gabon help, anyone?)

Is the Canadian meal going to be at the Maple Leaf?

Yes, and it will also involve London’s take on Tim Hortons!

Get to http://www.hotelpasha.com for a Krygyz meal – I went last night with a mate who I visited Kyrgyzstan with last year. The samsi, plov and lagman are all pretty authentic and pretty good. Amazing place.

Ask for a “traditional” table in the bit that’s decorated like a yurt for full impact, though it’s probably more comfortable in the normal restaurant-y bit…
Very bizarre, unexpected and awesome place.
