There used to be a little restaurant in St Ives called Hobblers which made the best steak and kidney I've ever tasted. Then we had the mad cow scare and they started using Argie beef. Never tasted the same after that. They did however do a delicious fish soup.
That does sound good...
It's been brilliant to see this renaissance in English food over the last few years actually; our traditional stuff really can hold it's own with the various continental styles and it's great to see all that rubbish about English food being disgusting and bland is being challenged.
