Austin Motel
Vegetarian Brits
RECEIVED Fri., May 7, 2010
Dear Editor,
As a Brit I'd like to thank Richard Whittaker for his lively article [“What's a Hungry Brit to Eat in Austin?,” Food, May 7] – but he forgot to mention that some of us Brits are serious vegetarians who remember when the first Cranks opened on London's famous Carnaby Street! For veggie curries, I recommend the Madras Pavilion vegetarian Indian restaurant on 183 North at Burnet Road. I welcome the arrival of Full English Cafe and look forward to a blistering hot cuppa there. (Why do so many American cafes serve lukewarm tea?) As my mother was a Cornishwoman who raised my brothers and I on delicious Cornish pasties, could I ask the Smiths to add Celtic Cornwall each time they refer to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales?
