What I ate in Folestone

On my recent visit to Folkestone, I ate all the classic English foods.  Starting off each day with a full cooked breakfast.

A breakfast of bacon, black pudding, eggs, tomato, orange juice and tea.

As you can see, mine were pretty modest. The average amongst the other guests was at least double. And that was just the kids.

The first evening we dined on fish and chips. Proper chippy ones. A bit pricey at over eleven quid. But really, really good.

This wasn't in a proper restaurant or anything. Just one of two tables in front of the fish fryer. But it still came on a plate with proper cutlery.

Second night, it was time for a curry. I do like a good curry.

Kicking off, as is traditional, with an onion bhaji.

 It's always a good sign when they have proper naan bread. Yum. Really excellent stuff.

We had a day in Margate. And what do you do at the seaside? Eat chips, of course.

Pretty good chips again Nice and fat. Golden not scorched black like the often are in the USA.

And, of course, we had a Sunday dinner. A rather nice one.

A Sunday dinner of roast lamb, Yorkshire pudding, roast spuds and vegetables.

A home-cooked Sunday dinner, a big pile of food, for under nine quid. Total bargain.

This wasn't everything I ate. I also consumed a few cheese and onion sandwiches and bags of crisps. I just didn't think those were worth photographing.
