They want to do both and, aside from the people they meet, they get the most fun out of the restaurants and food stands. Food. We don't just eat it but we socialize over it. Ever phoned around to invite your friends to a party? “What can | bring?” they ask. They don't mean their 2,000 slides plus projector. FOOD. Alas for our waistlines, food is here to stay. I've never had fish and chips in London, rolled up in a newspaper. But, perhaps the best in the world are at the “Sea Shell” on Lisson Grove, near Marylebone Station.

Start by buying some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The whole thing 1s glued-together with cream. Buy a small carton of 10 per cent or half-and-half. I use an electnc frypan but if you want to get fancy, try a chafing dish. Shce some ham - one package or the equivalent - in bits like paper matches. Put in a pretty dish and set aside. Measure 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese into another bowl. Beat two eggs and set them aside too. Chop a healthy handful of parsley and do the same with it. Set up your electnc frypan and melt 1/2 cup butter. As it fmzzles, add the ham. Meanwhile, boil up enough spaghetti to serve six. When the = spaghetti is done - al dente - or not squishy. drain and add to the ham and butter. Add the parsley, tossing and turning the mixture. Then add the cheese, egg and cream. Dust with a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg and plenty of ground pepper. Eatimmediately.
