People make fun of British food, but I’m finding it to be quite a nice treat so far. Yes, I’m serious! The place where I’m living has a dining hall (and I have no kitchen). So far the food has been pretty good. Here is what I have eaten today:

Breakfast

Poached eggs and hashbrowns. They tried to give me baked beans, but I successfully avoided that.

Lunch

I was out and ate a bagel sandwich (bagels! yay!) that I ordered with chicken, guacamole and sun-dried tomatoes. Yum!

Snack

Krispy Kreme donut. It was so good. It was chocolate-glazed and had sprinkles on it. Sprinkles! I never saw a sprinkle in France.

Dinner

The dining hall served a roast chicken that was honestly better than any roast chicken I had in Paris. Way better. And I had a salad of cucumbers and tomatoes with salad cream. (I can’t eat lettuce.) Last night they served duck curry. I couldn’t face that, so I went out for Korean food.

Dessert

I skipped the chocolate cake they had for dessert in the cafeteria. I’m not sure why. But I just ate a Cadbury Creme Egg. They don’t have those in France either.

All in all, yours truly has had quite a piggish day.

   The Tesco Express near my place has a small Krispy Kreme stand/section. It just might be the most evil thing I have ever done seen (and right by the entrance, of course)

   There’s a Krispy Kreme shop a few doors down from the Holborn underground station, on High Holborn

   Do you pay for each meal individually or a lump sum and then eat whatever your heart desires?

   The bagel sandwich sounds delicious!

   We have to pay for each item individually, but the prices are quite low — thank goodness!
