Gordon Ramsay Plane Food

On my way home from London, I had to stop in at Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food at Terminal 5. Given the prices of airport food, it was well worth the money (the only gripe being the inclusion of both a cover charge and a service charge!) - great quality food. I had a couple of glasses of a lovely South African chardonnay, and ordered the Suffolk pork cutlet with strips of pork belly, savoy cabbage, organic carrots and a barbecue sauce. I also ordered a side of chips.

All for under £30, including the aforementioned charges!

The chips were the best I've ever eaten, triple fried, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The pork was delicious, as was the sauce. The belly in particular was almost like a meaty creme brulee, crackly on top but melting and quivering underneath. My wine was smooth and the service was excellent. Hard to fault for what it is, and by a mile the best food I've ever eaten in an airport.

L'Angoletto Italian restuarant, Fitzrovia

I know this is not Glasgow (I will be doing more restaurant reviews very soon! And my thoughts on the List 09 guide!) but I wanted to blog about the food on my trip to London recently.

The hotel I stayed in had closed its restaurant, so I popped next door to a lovely little restaurant, L'Angoletto. I was ravenous and asked the waiter to bring me a plate of pasta - whatever was good. He brought a glass of red wine, and a tagliatelle dish with what tasted like an arrabiata sauce, but spiked with shards of Italian ham and meaty mushrooms. Absolutely bloody delicious.

Had To Show Off The Crayfish Salad!

Absolutely gorgeous plate of salad, that I had to share with you!

Yo! Sushi Paddington

I enjoyed a lovely quick meal at Yo! Sushi at Paddington station during my recent work trip to London. Apparently there is a branch in Silverburn in Glasgow, and for a quick meal I'd recommend it. You watch the conveyor belt move around with lots of little dishes on it, you help yourself and at the end they count up the empties (each dish has a colour code and price). Unlimited miso soup is £1.75 and water £1.

I had two portions of California rolls, which are essentially crabstick and avocado wrapped in seaweed and rice (very nice!), a crab wrap and a lovely crayfish salad. Delicious, fresh and great value.
