Americans are catching on to the joys of British food. Yes, really
Pilsen, a gentrifying neighbourhood on the South West Side of Chicago, is a regular spot for visitors hoping to eat interesting food. Until it was cancelled this year, the local mole festival, held each spring, drew hundreds of Mexican food fans (a mole is a sort of thick sauce). Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants have spilled over from nearby Chinatown Another excellent place to eat is the Pleasant House Pub. At this spot patrons can order starters of Scotch eggs, Welsh rarebit, curry on chips or chicken balti pie. Dessert includes sticky toffee pudding. To wash it down there is a cask ale, brewed locally.
