Preparatory to Anything Else...

...I'm eating as much Mexican food as I can before leaving the States.

Behold the black bean vegetarian taco with homemade guacamole.

Ok, so chipoltle soy protein and organic tomatoes doesn't exactly pass as authentically Mexican-- I believe it's actually traditional fare of the illusive and little-understood "White Kids in Pilsen," traditionally eaten en route via Vespa to an Animal Collective show-- But, oh man, it's good.

Last time I was in England, I don't think I saw one Mexican place. In fact, I don't think I really ate anything that didn't involve some combination of tinned beans and toast.

Keep checking in to stay posted on my adventures with British cuisine.
