Gastronomica
A flashback to a splendid trip to London a few weeks ago....Gastronomica is the name of a shop near Borough Market that sells cheese and other stuff. I thought the name sounded cool and describes my experience in London, which revolved around good food.
Food highlights:
- Avinash Uncle's garlic and onion eggs in the mornings
- Borough Market - Tasty veggie burger with mango salsa, and a fantastic blueberry cookie (yes, a blueberry cookie)
- The second-best masala dosa I have ever had (the best one was on the streets of India
- Mildreds - Mushroom pie, mushy peas, and mushy chips (all vegetarian, and all delicious)
Other highlights:
- The Magnificent British Museum
- A tool over 1.8 million years old (makes you wonder what things from our time will be in museums in the far future...)
- Exhibits focusing on Bengal
- Just plain cool stuff everywhere
- People watching: wacky Camden Market, crowded Portobello Market, along the Thames, around Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, SoHo, and on the Tube
- Bonding with my cousin Sameer while watching "Casino Royale" (get it...Bond-ing)

I should have clarified that the masala dosa I had in London was the second best restaurant dosa I have ever had. My mom still makes the best ones. Second best is the one prepared by a street vendor in Mumbai, and the third best is from London.
