Food for thought: Greek mezze


So it's not all sausage and mash in London town...Tonight K and I returned to what will definitely become a London haunt for us: Food For Thought (Neal Street in Covent Garden). For about $10 you get a ginormous plate of of vegan/vegetarian mass deliciousness and a dessert sized to match. The menu changes every night and they close at 8:30 (often selling out of some of their courses long before then). This fine evening we opted for the greek mezze: a baby spinach salad with roasted peppers, white bean and rosemary dip, beetroot relish, and a filo creation with butternut squash and eggplant. Feels so good to stuff oneself on veggies!

The staff is to-die-for, whistling "America" from West Side Story as they serve up tasty grub and debate whether or not they could actually fall in love with a perfect 10 who did not believe in climate change.

Don't miss this place, and be sure to stop at the cheese shop across the street for some stinky melty artisansal goodness.
