England
London
Two thousand years of city, layered on top of itself, where the free museums are world-class and the pie shops are older than most countries.
“Mind the gap” (between train and platform)
Local food
Pie and mash with liquor
Parsley liquor, not gravy. Eel and pie houses since the 1800s.
Brick Lane bagel
Boiled, baked, filled with salt beef. Open all night.
Jellied eels
Once the East End's cheap protein. An acquired taste, honestly.
Borough Market
A thousand years of trading on the south bank.
