I really haven't eaten anything to write home about yet. Pun intended. The first week I had very little appetite (though it is coming back) and I have not gone out of my way to find restaurants (YET).
A couple things of note, however, were:
- Some very good thai food on Hoxton Square, right near me and a cute venue with lots of outdoor seating that was heated.
- A surprisingly delicious caesar salad at the pub down the street. Fresh grilled chicken, big shavings of parmesan cheese.
- Very cheap chips for late night. As I said, not okay.
One major thing is that they don't seem to have a lot of the brands I am used to at the major supermarkets. There is a whole foods apparently, so I am going to try there. I haven't seen rice crackers (blasphemy!! [shut up Jason, in advance]) or rice pasta. There is a "free from" food line at Sainsbury's that has GF pasta but it is corn based. That line has a wide variety of GF breads too- even pita!
Like I said, a culinary snooze so far, but I will set up to bat soon. I am cooking my (by my, I mean Emril's) linguini with cream, peas, and prosciutto for the group tomorrow night.
I am very excited that you found GF pita bread. I have no idea if this is the type of thing I am supposed to write on a blog comment, but i'm going with it.
