The food critic, 48, first touched upon the reported “Not My King” protests that are set to go down on May 6 in the United Kingdom — the date of the monarchs’ crownings.The only thing he is critical about is the food that would be served -- given his job as a food critic, well, that kind of makes sense if the food isn't, according to him, good
“Everyone has the right to think what they want,” he told the News Agents podcast in a recent interview.
“We live in, thankfully, a free country,” Parker Bowles explained, adding that if citizens want to protest “that’s their right to do so.”
He continued: “You’re allowed to protest. We all are allowed to have different views and I think that makes for an interesting and civilized country.”
From my time in the UK (and I lived in East Sussex), the good food was:
Fish and chips
Greggs sausage roll
Cornish pasties
A full English breakfast
Shepherd’s pie
Steak and Kidney pie
Bangers and Mash
Yorkshire pudding with gravy
What no beans or Spam? I expect Camilla chose the seven courses of gin.
Thank you, Cronos for clarifying what the article was actually saying. I admit, I based my entire response on what the headline said.
I think the title is a downright lie, not even “fudging the truth”
"Sandwiches--they're not just for card players any more."
Like the saying, "Beer--it's not just for breakfast any more."

Harrod's food court has lots of take-aways and I'm quite partial to that extensive food court. It truly IS amazing; as are the lunch counters and restaurants!
Simpsons has quite an extensive menu, never had a bad meal there and their roast beef dinner is fantastic! If/when you go to London, you really should try it.
Over the years, we've dined at several different restaurants in London's China Town and every single one of them were perfection. The first time that we were brought the finger bowls with tea and a lemon slice in them, we were surprised. In America, long ago, top Chinese restaurants did also bring out finger bowls, but they were filled with warm water and a lemon slice...not warm tea. But the tea does work well on greasy fingers. Sadly, I don't remember the names of the Chinese restaurants we ate at. :-(
Marks & Spencer is known for Jumpers (sweaters), Underwear, and a Grocery Store where they have containers of prepared food that just need to be baked at home.
We lived in Kensington and never have eaten so well!
My best friend from college moved to London (Hampstead) in 1972, so our trips there, after our previous one, we were more like natives, than tourists, because my friend took us to all kinds of places that tourists don't usually go to; though, truth to tell, we also went to quite a few touristy places as well, for the progeny.
Kensington is a beautiful area and I've been there many time. Love the museums and the Royal Albert Hall! Lucky you!
Liiving in a foreign country was a wonderfully mind expanding experience!
I’m sure it was a wonderful time!
