Keeping it International
We had all sorts of intl. cuisine in England. Here’s just a small sampling of the intl. flavors we tasted:
•Greek
falafel souvlaki [soov-lah-kee]
•American
yum! bun less veggie burger
•Mexican
eating burrito bowls make me want to go to chipotle so bad, if only they opened a store in Taiwan *sigh*
British Breakfast
Moving on to my fave meal of the day, breakfast! Breakfast was probably the only meal where we ate truly British style food.
The staples of a traditional British breakfast

I’m glad you enjoyed my home-city! Pret is a really great place to grab lunch on-the-go, apparently they’re one of the only sandwich chains in the UK to keep restocking throughout the day to guarantee freshness. I recently visited Japan and I’m still missing the food I got out there, I’m always trying to hunt down Japanese food in London!
Shawn says
I had a great time in the uk and also love japanese food. Thank goodness it’s easy to find here in taipei. I tried wagamama in london, pretty good, but not really ‘traditional’ japanese food.

Just from reading food/healthy living bloggers in the UK I would say that their food always looks delicious! And I think your pictures show that too. Baked beans are delicious and I would totally eat them for breakfast if I could! Hello maple and bacon 😀
Shawn says
Yup, so delicious! And I had baked beans for breakfast practically every day. 😀 Really missing them right now. 😛

Glad you had a good time in the UK! M&S is definitely the best for food; their stuff is so good! Yum!
It’s funny that everyone thinks that the British food looks delicious – yet I always think that other cultures food looks better – I think you want what you can’t have haha!
Shawn says
Really, really missing m & s. 🙁 And what you said is so true! I get tired of Taiwanese food sometimes, but my friends in the US just love it. Granted, they don’t eat it as often. If I moved elsewhere, I’d probably start missing Taiwanese food real bad. 😛

You had some great eats! When I went to England last summer, I ate at Pret A Manger too! (It means “Ready to Eat” in French ;)). They have some great, healthy choices there!
Shawn says
Thanks. 🙂 I had no idea the name was French, let alone the meaning. Good to know, and I’m really craving their food now. 😛

Yay loved reading this and so glad you had a fab time! Marks & spencer (or M&S as us Brits like to call it 😉 ) is my closest & most favourite supermarket and I love a good pret too! Hope you don’t have post-holiday blues!
Shawn says
M&S, got it!
Hyedi says
Mmmm now I’m hungry after reading this!
Shawn says
Looking at those pics again makes me hungry, too.
