Yesterday we used the excuse of visiting the Brick Lane and Spitalfields markets to have lunch at St. John Bread and Wine, an unbelievably great restaurant serving beautiful food with some British ingredients we had never heard of, including mussels with samphire (a kind of seaweed), Smoked Sprats (little golden fish) with Horseradish, and Courgettes with Butterbeans and Fat Hen (which we expected to be some kind of chicken but turned out to be a delicious double-thick cream). Sorry--the salad of Crispy Pig's Skin, Chickory and Mustard was eaten before I had a chance to photograph it.
