London should have had the Jellied Eel card of course.


But could never have happened:

a. not something the Islington political class eat*; and
b. not multicultural - indeed quite culturally insensitive.

*There was the wonderful (no doubt apocryphal) story of Peter Mandelson
going into a chippie to try to boost his older Labour credential and
asking for haddock, chips and "some of that guacamole" - mistaking the
mushy peas for avocado dip.
