There are also good food places in the market building by the piers nearest the city (where the ferries go) if I remember correctly... it was many years ago (accross the road from where the outdoor ice rink is - if that is still there also!) (There is also quite a nice place to drink champagne so I may have got a bit side tracked!!) I think I remember seeing Neal's yard cheese there too. (Still surprisingly missing english cheese given all the yummy cheeses here in switzerland! and I'm totally with Simon on the tea front... we have just run out of PG Tips and are resorting to local tea for the last week...horror! And dotn even get me started on a country full of cows that has limited fresh milk but a plentiful supply of UHT nonsense....jenny stops ranting now and remembers the good use of dairy products in fondue, tartiflette, raclette, chocolate........)
