Food, glorious food!
My characters like food a little bit TOO much, but hey, that’s one of the reasons why we get along so well! They eat, they drink, and they think about junk food (mostly) far too often.
So, let’s go on a gastronomic tour of the good, the bad, and the downright delicious. Like most of the things and places mentioned in London Belongs to Me and London, Can You Wait?, the food is all real—none of the products are made up. Want to put on your comfy yoga pants? I’ll wait…
