It is unfortunate that there are not more Spanish restaurants in the UK :-) One of the few benefits of the excessive travelling I do is the occasional opportunity to sample local cuisine. I have eaten well in every country I have visited. China, in particular, is spectacularly good and inexpensive for a westerner. One of the things I really miss is good fish and chips. Where I was brought up in the North of England there were plenty of good fish and chip shops. Here in the 24 years I have lived in Oxfordshire I have only found one selling edible fish properly cooked and that is in Newbury 14 miles away. If any LUGger knows any others please let me know.
