(c) nature thoughts nw Pret A Manger, Mitcham Road, South West London Pain aux raisin with tea is a combination I have, for years, found the perfect mid morning break. Prets does it very well and the tea has its own characteristics, like many places, so with one place, it's their chocolate muffin and tea or at another place it's their sourdough bread with tea. Everything with tea... Now it's Godfrey the Gingerbread Man as a complimentary gift because its head was broken. Lol. (Which by the way is very nicely done. Thumbs up to Godfrey!)

Lunch: Shepherds Pie with a cheese topping

When it comes to eating British food there is for most part, a 'history' behind it. 'Oh, you are having Shepherd's Pie' 'Yes it reminds me of having Shepherd's Pie with chips at school'. It is like British desserts. I would not have chosen a crumble and custard, Bread and Butter pudding or semolina and rice pudding if it were not for 'school dinners'. The question is always, Why? If it is fish and chips, it is mushy peas or another sides. It must be the island effect and the weather.

Chicken stew lasagna

I wanted to get the beef from the shop with the name of a country but only a few packets were left and the Best before date was in 2 days so I got the chicken fillets and made lasagna for lunch. Lasagna is probably part of British cuisine for where ever I go, lasagna is on the menu. I can see why. Happy eating all!
