Breakfast at Bannisters. No greasy spoon. Stack of sweet corn fritters (a rare delicacy in Britain) on a bed of baby spinach, no less, served with home made tomato chutney.
But the price was nuts. Not unusually so. Just the daily, where cod and chips is now £12. My breakfast with coffee was most of £15.
I have lost track of what’s right and fair for stuff. My tastes are only a little extravagant when it comes to food, but Europe on a fiver a day was once a reasonable frugal benchmark.
Today I had 2 coffees with a small cake at two different contemporary cafes on the Cowley Rd. £5.50 at one and £5.70 at the other. The price is the price. But I was at least as interested in the Excelcior as in hipster-ville.
