I don't know how I could have forgotten this bit, but...
There was a shortlived craze in America for smothered baked potatoes as a lunch/meal. It didn't last... Shame. But it's thriving still in England. While you can readily find jacket potatoes on any pub menu, the best place to get one -- by my account -- is at a little stand right alongside Covent Garden's Jubilee Market Hall. Talk about cheap -- depending on what you decide to top on your Jacket Potato, you can have a hearty and filling meal for 3 pounds. Not bad, especially with today's dollar being in the shitter. I always preferred the baked beans and a shredded white cheddar on mine. Take it to go, with a cover -- just in case you can't finish it -- now, about face and stroll into to the covered market hall interior and listen to the entertainers, who sing for their supper. Good food and entertainment: What else could you want?
