. For Indian food, you should try Glory of India downtown, but my absolute favourite place is the Skylark, on 17th Ave. SE. It’s wonderful, and their spinach is out of this world. Out of town, in Canmore you must go to the...

, or make your own dinner another time, using your favorite ingredients and drinking your own wine. There is something very narcissistic and self involved to expect that everything revolves around you all the time. One cannot...

—a square of egg custard flavored with cardamom and an ingredient called charoli, which is a nut or seed, as far as I can make out (couldn’t find an English translation for it). This is the only dessert I’ve had...

I’ve been in London 3 years and just visited L’escargot this weekend with 2 other couples. The food is really fantastic. Prices are £7 for starters and £13 for mains. Wine list of 48 pages. Excellent tails, nice sized...
