MY LIFE IN FOOD
Suburban Bromley in the 1980s and '90s wasn't exactly a gastronomic hub. Growing up, we'd often have a Sunday roast and quite a lot of convenience food: crispy pancakes, potato waffles, oven chips - various things from the freezer, basically. And that was usually followed by an Angel Delight; sometimes strawberry, sometimes butterscotch.
Rotisserie chicken reminds me of childhood. We occasionally went on holiday to Spain, to a place called Javier, where they covered the chicken in local herbs. It was always so delicious. This was about 30 years ago, and I still think about that rotisserie chicken. And sándwich mixto, which is basically a toasted cheese and ham sandwich. We'd get it at the beach, and it was folded into triangles in greaseproof napkins. I thought it was an exquisite treat.
