Actually, I can't think of a dish there that isn't top notch. And the bar... my gawd do they have a fine selection of beers, ales, stouts, pilsners, heffeweisen... you name it.
Mm mm good.

I like English food. I gues it stands to reason, seeing my mother is 100% English, coming over at age 20 (or roundabouts).
The best thing(s) about English food are, A)candy, and B)vinegary chips(fries).
Mhhmmmhhhmmmmmmm!

Recipe for LIVE Monkey Brain Surprise
Most people have heard the tale of those who strap a live monkey down and eat its brains for dinner. It has even made it into the Hollywood mainstream in movies like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
But now you too can enjoy, Benny Agra offers all kinds of monkey for the table and here we provide our recipe for Monkey Brains.
Recipe
The following is Benny Agra's special recipe for eating live monky brains. Remember call us now to get your eating monkey
First Take one living monkey (Benny Agra can supply monkeys for eating as well as pets).
Now you need to strap your best monky beneath a Monkey Eating Table (see below for details) with hole in center or spaced out at each guest's eating place.
The monkey must then be strapped beneath the table with its head poking up through a hole or holes.
You can then shave the monky head if you like. Hit monkey on the head, scoop and serve.
The diners usually deliver the fatal blow themselves with hammers, the skull is sawed off and the brains are scooped out with spoons.

Hey wait, get back to talking about EURO!!!! You might offend him with your constant subject-changing!
I still maintain that EURO owns you guys. And it appears that some of you actually take him seriously!!
and it turns into a one-sided 
and some leave 
He can always win because he is the only one controlled enough to only give away what he wants to. Hilarious! And the only one who has the reputation going. Rad/55 couldn't do it cause he's known as a nice guy, but EURO.....

After all, it'll take a lot more than 10 years of greatness to overcome hundreds of years of "tradition" in the eyes of the ill-informed.

Not trying to bash the U.K. Lord knows we have more than our fair share of Stuckeys and Waffle Houses.
The Brit's will just have to content themselves with giving us Locke, Smith, Burke, Mill, Milton, common law and the Magna Carta and basically being the source point for all that is good in this country. No one faults them for not spending as much time on food.

BTW - Gibby's in Montreal is still one of my favorite places. For food, anyway. Number 12's is always good fun. And Mon Village on the West island (and they brew their own beer too). Oh, and there is always Wings n'Things ...

Good going Rad.
Hey, English food isn't all just boiled to mush. A good deal of it is just, uh, deep-fried to a crisp. Like FishnChips? That's pretty good. And slow-cooking a hunk of beef works well for me. Boiling, though.....
