I tend to agree about Spanish food. 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.
