??Have you heard that ‘retro’ food is all the rage?
Googling my way around retro dining in London I was attracted by Bangers in Moorgate which promises ‘comfort food’ but I’ll be avoiding a Bermondsey restaurant that offers roasted pork cheeks. Also its ‘daily changing pie’ sounds as though, if it doesn’t sell, it will be disguised as a rissole the following day. A restaurant named The Laughing Gravy in Southwark didn’t inspire me either.
As a non-meater for two decades, it all seemed like a bit of a no-go area for me, while Mr F was completely put off by a Kensington restaurant review in which a diner complained of paying £12.75 for ‘three wrinkled sausages and a measly dollop of mash’.
It’s years since we went to a chippie so I think we’d be better off getting our retro experience at a local emporium. We can take it home and follow it up with butterscotch Angel Delight, or an Eccles cake. And a nice cup of tea.??
