Cuisines covered inwards previous posts: Mexican, Cajun, Nepalese, Lebanese, Thai, Basque, Argentinian, Cuban, Vietnamese

We'll go to the European continent for this week's installment.

English food doesn't convey a cracking reputation but, if it's made well, it tin make the sack hold upward pretty tasty. It's too pretty filling. 

I dear a traditional English linguistic communication breakfast of eggs, ham, beans, together with toast merely it tin make the sack too hold upward pretty greasy at times.  Bangers together with mash, along amongst meat pies, are too cracking for luncheon or dinner.

We don't convey a large presence of British nutrient hither inwards the valley merely nosotros create convey the 3 locations of Lucky Baldwin's pubs...two inwards Pasadena together with the 3rd inwards Sierra Madre (pictured above)...that brand quite decent versions of the inwards a higher house foods.

Their pigs inwards a blanket too brand for a filling together with inexpensive repast when you're a flake low-cal inwards the wallet.

We teach a two-for-one amongst Lucky Baldwin's. In improver to English linguistic communication ales together with food, they too specialize inwards Belgian brews together with chews. My married adult woman loves the stewed mussels here.

While nosotros tin make the sack teach to a greater extent than or less good, savory Belgian food at Lucky B's, to a greater extent than or less tell the pinnacle of Belgian cuisine is the Liege waffle that is together with then difficult to honor inwards this area. You tin make the sack teach a real proficient rendition at the Shaky Alibi inwards Hollywood or a to a greater extent than mediocre version at the locations of the Bruxie downwards inwards Orange County but...hold your horses...the best local Liege waffle is correct hither inwards the valley.

Just caput to the corner of Santa Anita together with Huntington inwards Arcadia, virtually a block eastward of the race track. Between the Jiffy Lube together with the donut store sits i of the best java bars around, Taza, where you lot tin make the sack teach i of the most sublime Liege waffles, that the possessor has flown inwards from Belgium, for alone $4.50.

These are a footling to a greater extent than savory that your usual waffle together with convey footling balls of saccharide inwards them that carmelize when cooked. Just consume them plain...no syrup, no a la mode...and what a process you'll have. I similar to launder it downwards amongst a Mexican Coke that you lot tin make the sack too teach here.

If you'd similar the other Belgian specialty, frites (or fries), caput W of Pasadena to Eagle Rock. Oinkster on Colorado Boulevard has the best.

For Spanish food, you lot by together with large convey to teach to the numerous tapas bars located along the foothill regions.  Bar Celona, La Moon Negra, and Racion in Pasadena; and The Granada inwards Alhambra are your best bets.

We don't convey the extensive Jewish food similar you'd honor inwards the cracking delis of L.A. similar Langer's, Nate 'n Al's, or Pat's, merely inwards Glendora, you'll honor to a greater extent than or less cracking Matzo Ball soup, bagels together with lox, kreplach, latkes, together with other cracking deli specialties at Kara's Korner Deli on the corner of Glendora together with Foothill inwards downtown Glendora.

It's i of my favorite comfort nutrient spots inwards the valley.
