Food:<BR>tea and scones and clotted cream.Might not be special to some,but cannot find real clotted cream here.<BR>Indian food,I know they have it here but it is never as good.<BR>Chocolate, yes they have chocolate in NY but the atmosphere in London makes it taste better<BR>Coffee, I love the coffee in London.<BR>Marmalades and jams, yum.<BR>Puddings, I just love it when we are served a "pudding" after dinner,even if it has a name like spotted dick~<BR>The tomatoes in London in the summer, small round sweet.<BR>Branston pickles and cheddar sandwich.<BR>A good thing we walk everywhere when we visit or I would be too big to fit on the airplane home...
