A London photo every day. Some pictures will be there for their own sake, some because they are places you may like to see, all because they are part of what makes London what it is. Requests welcome!

Cosmopolitan
We take for granted the way in London (and frankly, just about anywhere) you can get fresh food from anywhere around the world. Fresh fish is one thing you can't fake.
New Zealand lamb is one thing (there were sailing ships with refrigerated holds in the 19th century) but flying in fresh fish from the antipodes seems a bit excessive.
When I think of the word "Cosmopolitan," I think of Dublin. Everyone said it was VERY cosmopolitan.
ReplyDeleteOf course, later I learned that people most places in Ireland considered any place with restaurants to be "cosmopolitan."

ReplyDeleteAgreed. Leave it here so I can buy it at a reasonable price, instead of the price Londoners are prepared to pay.
