The English Can't Make Chips
It's nearly impossible to get decent chips (fries, frites) in London. The best I've had are at the Hawksmoor, and no one should have to pony up that much for a decent heap of potatoes. Most chips here fall into "mediocre: purchase only when drunk" category. Lack of chip competency should be a national embarrassment. There's no reason for it. The Scots, French, and Belge all manage. So much for London's ostensible culinary revival.

Disappointing steaks there, though. Next time just crab salad and chips. I'd suggest you learn to make them yourself, but am scared of the kit necessary and the calories consumed in testing.
"Belge"?
Why not "Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards"?
I feel Londoners' right to belgian-taunt is revoked until the chip problem is solved. And, while we're at it, the hot & cold water mixing problem as well.
