Let’s not over romanticise this too much; bruschetta or bread
and tomatoes whatever you’d like to call it was invented as a vehicle to avoid
waste. Clever cooks of yore took some
stale bread, rubbed garlic on it, and covered it with ripe juicy tomatoes and
olive oil.
Hawksmoor have quite successfully made
a reputation for cooking some of the best steaks in London but I’d only ever
eaten in the Seven Dials outpost before now.
Having seen a piece in TimeOut about London’s 100 best dishes I thought
I’d make the effort to check out the Spitalfields branch as well.
