    Australia in general

    Any of our food you can get at most english-speaking places around the world, the beef especially.

    I recommend Australia in general to anyone who would trade everything classical, cultural and civil for a steak and egg pie.

    Don't, however, do that.

    Fenway Park. King Ranch
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    As I don't pretend to know much about clubbing, as it is not really my sort of thing, I can pretty much only recommend good restaurants around Europe and the odd bar.

    London:

    The West End Kitchen

    Extraordinarily good value for money restaurant on Panton Street just off the Haymarket. The food is very nice and homely, with great British dishes like Shepherd's Pie, Gammon steak and Sticky Toffee Pudding with Custard, all for very reasonable prices.
    Usually very busy, it is a very good place refuel when going round the west end or before going to the theatre (if you can't really afford the place below). However, the atmosphere isn't great, the decor being quite spartan, and the seats are quite small and it can be a bit of a squeeze.
    About £15 for a three course dinner with wine.

    Sarastro's
    http://www.sarastro-restaurant.com/
    A beautifully decorated place on Drury Lane just behind the Theatre Royal, with an eclectic and somewhat over-the-top mix of Venetian, Byzantine, Gothic and Baroque styles (with the emphasis being on gilt, gilt and more gilt) and you can have dinner in your very own opera box. There are also weekly opera shows as I seem to recall. The food, a sort of Turco-Italo-Greek mix, isn't half bad either, and not all that expensive.
    About £25-30 for three courses with wine.

    The Sandwich Bar on Hanson Street

    I'm sorry that I'm not sure what it's real name is, but this is the most capital to place to have a snack on the go when in that neck of the woods of the metropolis (i.e. Fitzrovia). The place is tiny, with space for about five people in front of the counter and two two-seater tables outside, but the snacks (and thus mainly the sandwiches) to be found are simply scrumptious. You can choose not only from the plethora of fillings (salt beef, salami, sausage, egg mayonaise, smoked salmon, cheddar cheese, stilton, etc. as well as the many accompanyments like onion, tomato, mustard, cress, chives...) but also from the huge range of differently flavoured baps, buns, baguettes, bagels, rolls and sandwich breads. Last time I was there in September, I had mouth-watering scrambled egg, smoked salmon and onion bagel smothered in salt, pepper and melted butter for just £2. Sadly, I did notice then that the charming who were running the shop had a "For Sale" sign up, so I do hope that if it has changed hands it hasn't become some awful kebab place.

    Will add more destinations later.

    I don't do BOOM BOOM clubs. Where's the local culture?

    And I don't mean old Europe cheese and yogurt culture. Where do I go if I want to get Dutchified?


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
