is this what food likes like?



In Dover, England, on a corporate gig, and taking advantage of our respite from Dutch cuisine. Amber, Dan, Paddy and I flew into Dover, and went right to the location even though we had plenty of time before the show. We headed to a nearby pub for lunch and chowed down, taking advantage of our unusual per diem.

After the show, we returned to our hotel pretty and, after Paddy worked with the desk to get our hotel rooms straightened out when they weren't in their records, we managed to get into their restaurant before they closed. We all ordered the three course meal special (mine was a Thanksgiving dinner), and chowed down, taking breaks only to mention how delicious everything tasted.

Dan and I shared a beer before we went to sleep and awoke early the next day to take part in their breakfast buffet. At the airport, Dan and I stuffed ourselves at a sushi bar, piling up our plates next to us like badges of honor.

Only when you live in Holland can you appreciate English food.
