Synopsis
From a Gloucester Road chippie to a Wimpy Bar at the end of the Northern Line, via curry houses in Brick Lane and juice bars in Canary Warf, Pret-sandwich connoisseur Kevin Jackson samples the best - and worst - of what Londoners are eating on the hoof. Alongside musings on the saveloy, the origins of the British hot dog, the erotic allure of a McFlurry, and how Kebab-gate did for Gazza's career, we meet fellow-guzzlers, as well as the people behind the counter as they spin their thin discs of dough, load potato skins, and slap sausages into buns. If your taste-buds tingle at the distant chime of the ice-cream van or you feel a stab of nostalgia at the sight of a little wooden fork, this is the book for you.

Review
...a droll and eye-opening tour of informal eating in the capital... Jackson turns Michelin-starred prose onto KFC-level urban raw material -- x
Elegantly written, and often very funny, it's as much social document as it is gastronomic adventure. -- Tom Parker Bowles, Mail on Sunday
Great pictures make you want to eat greasy chicken out of a cardboard box, like, right now. -- The Guardian
