Where to Eat in London
It seems that "Where should I eat in London?" is a constant question in Talk, so in response, here are a few places for brunch, cheap lunch, grazing days, Michelin starred pub fare, and more. It's far from a comprehensive list, but it's my recommendations for visitors to the city. What are your favorite London eats? Chime in with more!McDonald's in the UK: Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry and Mozzarella Dippers
What can the Brits munch on that Americans can't at the Golden Arches? For the most part, the menu is quite similar. There's the Quarter Pounder, the McNuggets, and the fries are even called fries, not "chips." But there are a few things that you won't find in an American McDonald's—among them, a Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry and Mozzarella Sticks. (Actually, they're called "Mozzarella Dippers.")Fast Food Chains in London That Should Be in America
A good chain restaurant, in my mind, doesn't necessarily serve the best version of a given food, in a given city. (Though it might!) What it should do is serve a reasonably tasty version of said food, reliably and at a reasonable price. In London, there are quite a number of chains that I wish would make their way stateside. Here are just a few.Cook the Book: 'River Cottage Every Day'
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's latest, River Cottage Every Day highlights the simply prepared meals he serves to his family. The premise behind the book is that cooking from scratch using fresh, local ingredients is a possibility for everyone, pretty much everyday.

Because it rains a lot in England, it's not very common to find actual food carts here. Then again, it rains a lot in Portland, Oregon, where food carts are everywhere, so perhaps rain isn't the issue. But there is street food here, which I'm choosing to define as food for walking around, or for sitting on a promenade overlooking the ocean. Yes, that's it. Surely fish and chips is the classic British street food.Photo of the Day: Mario's and Luigi's Side By Side in Manchester
Whether it's an homage to the most famous plumbers in the videogame world or just a coincidence, Mario's and Luigi's on Claremont Road in Manchester, England, is an amusing sight. Mario's is a bakery and confectioner while Luigi's makes pizza, kebabs, and burgers. Has anyone tried either of these places?Street Food Profiles: Choc Star in London

[Photographs: Carey Jones] All right, London. You've already got Borough Market, the envy of food lovers across the planet. Need you really add another? Held in the Covent Garden piazza every week, the Real Food Market brings together all sorts of vendors, including many Borough Market favorites, such as Neal's Yard Dairy, the Flour Station, and Shellseekers. After a special four-day showing during London Restaurant Festival, the market will convene every Thursday through November 5, and every Thursday and Friday, until Christmas, after that. Click through for our slideshow of the highlights. Carey is over in London thanks to Visit London, the city's official tourist organization, in connection with Virgin Atlantic and the Intercontinental Park Lane....A Soggy-Resistant Biscuit May Change Dunking Technology
[Daily Mail] If you've been losing sleep over the soggification of biscuits after dunking them into hot beverages, you're in luck. Felice Tocchini of the Fusion Brasserie restaurant in Worcester, England, claims he's created a state-of-the-art biscuit able to survive up to one minute in a hot drink before disintegrating into mushy bits. According to Daily Mail, the current record is 25.5 seconds for a chocolate digestive. Tocchini spent three weeks testing ingredients. Key factors included the layering of flour and oat-based doughs to build strength, adding sweet potato slivers to hold everything together, and coating the biscuits with an egg-based glaze before baking. According to Dr. Len Fisher, who wrote How to Dunk a Doughnut, dunking releases up...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
