Fish and chips for the First Lady: Michelle Obama takes her daughters to traditional English pub
Daily Mail ^

Located just yards from the American Embassy, The Audley pub in London's Mayfair has probably had its fair share of tourists from across the Atlantic.

But when First Lady Michelle Obama led her two daughters into the traditional pub for fish and chips last night even the normally unflappable staff were left gobsmacked.

Staff told today of their astonishment as Mrs Obama and her daughters Malia, 10, and eight-year-old Sasha traipsed into the bar, accompanied by secret service agents.

America’s First family - minus the President who has flown home after his official visit to the D-Day beaches - are enjoying a private, two-day holiday in London.

Today, they were given a tour of Pinewood Studios, including the set of the new Harry Potter, and did what all tourists do when in London - they visited Westminster Abbey.

Having spent yesterday in Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament - they had tea with Sarah Brown but were at least spared meeting Gordon Brown - the Obamas probably felt they had earned a hearty meal. However, they eschewed the many upmarket restaurants of Mayfair - such as Scott's and Corrigan's - for the rather less glamorous surroundings of the The Audley. The children chose the fish supper at £7.95 while their mother opted for sirloin steak at £9.15.

Can’t wait to see how long it takes freepers to demonize her for bringing kids to a pub.

“She knew that food was one of their most expensive costs,” Mr. Obama said in his speech, “and so Ashley convinced her mother that what she really liked and really wanted to eat more than anything else was mustard and relish sandwiches. Because that was the cheapest way to eat.”

The important issue is that nobody cares.

I think it's lovely the way she accentuates her midrift. Those horizontal colored stripes really make her look thinner.

Right, we’ll be able to see that by the number of comments.

mustard and relish sandwiches

Pretty standard fare for the homeless...until the diner owner runs them off!

It looks like something a Girl Scout troop made for their Sewing badge.

I think she probably hit the Bozo the Clown garage sale after he died.

“Can’t wait to see how long it takes freepers to demonize her for bringing kids to a pub.”

Children are allowed in pubs FYI.

Didn’t you know that?
