There can’t be many people who are tempted with a trip to Heathrow’s terminal five, but I am one. Not for the planes you realise – I’m not a fool – but for the food.
Gordon Ramsay is one of the landmark restaurants in the place and promises to offer something a bit different to the usual airport fare – no plastic seats here. The only downside of course is that you have to book a flight with British Airways to eat there.
The Evening Standard did an interesting piece on the restaurant here.

I’m intrigued by a new campaign ultimately funded by the government to encourage us to waste less food. Love Food Hate Waste is a fancy new campaign to help us make the most of leftover bits in the kitchen. Nice idea.

Don’t need three layers of packaging around your apples? Think you can cope without a couple of bags to protect your bananas? Then you might be interested in Unpackaged (walkable from Farringdon or Angel tube). Opened last year, it appears to be a bit of a ‘back to basics’ idea – bring your tupperware containers and fill them up… with rice, seeds, flour, muesli, toilet cleaner..
It reminds me of those discount shops that used to exist where you scooped up all your shopping into plastic bags, though I reckon the goods there were anything but organic and wholesome. In any case, we tended to scoop up our family shopping from Tesco.
I’ve been meaning to pop along to Unpackaged for a while now. I’ll report back if/when I make it.

This blog is about eating. Specifically, in London. But it is also about the bits that come before and after – the search, the anticipation and the savouring.
From food stores to sandwich shops and pubs to restaurants, I will be using this blog to flag up the best and slag off the rest.
This blog isn’t just about reviews or tips though. I will also be blogging about foodie things I come across that might be of interest.
London has got loads of places to try out. If you come across somewhere or something that I should be writing about, drop me a note.
