I suppose! Even weirder, there's a Mexican/Polish restaurant in London. It's pretty good.

Mexican-Polish -- that's intriguing, and I'd like to try it. also the noodle bar--must be time for lunch. I've been watching Jamie Oliver's "Food Revolution" on ABC-TV on Friday nights--great for seeing food politics exposed and Oliver's attempts to circumvent and woo the power. Saw Chef Gordon Ramsay and two other judges on the premiere of MasterChef last night on FOX-TV. A fellow Scot offered Haggis ("en Croute" I think) for her special recipe. Gordon was thrilled to have her there. The show continues on again tonight. I wonder what she'll make next? |

I've been watching that too....I like Jamie Oliver. The Los Angeles School District certainly is not his friend! I like the way he's turning that fast food joint around.

I saw one episode of that Jamie Oliver and it was heartbreaking. He was in the south somewhere and tried so hard to change those set minds. I will have to get up to speed on the whole series. I used to watch his original shows. I loved how he would hop on his scooter and go visit the butcher or the victualler. |

Yes, Scott--the restaurant focus is so great. You can see valid points on both sides, so Oliver gives us a great discussion back and forth to watch. I think it's a great series, and I love his dogged but calm and patient approach to asking for change. I caught a couple of his cooking shows on PBS a few years ago, Vel--his cooking is literally so down to earth and non-fussy. Very approachable. I think every parent should watch Food Revolution. I've been trying to get the grannies at bridge to watch it--then, oh no!--they can nag their children on behalf of the grandkiddies.

I love food revolution! I loved the first season too. Jamie gets so emotionally involved you can't help but root for him. :-) |

That kid's backpack is so low I don't think you could call it a backpack anymore. |
