Before I moved here, when I visited England and London, I used to stay in a b&b in Golders Green. I remember doing laundry at a laundrette one Friday morning and smelling the challah baking at a nearby bakery. :)

We buy organic goose from a local organic farmer, but I don't think they're kosher. :) Kosher turkeys? Cool. Of course, one year I was looking for Chanukah cards in Southampton. It took me five shops. At two of them, the clerks didn't even know what Chanukah was. *sigh* I was tempted to say something about how they must not have paid much attention in RE. ;)
