Healthy English Food No Longer MIA

We''ve been all over English food the past few weeks, from Shepherd's Pie to EBCB and even the occasional eel pie. We guess a lot of the food is in pie form over there. Not that we would go anywhere near an eel pie--we stick to it in its sushi form. Today's New York Post Travel section flips the script on English food, citing the six places with the tastiest--yet inexpensive--health food in the city.

Fushi, in Harvey Nichols, makes revitalizing tonics and juices, although even English health food has a love for strange names. Try the Tums and Bums. Mmm, cucumber, celery and beetroot!

Meanwhile, Hummus Bros., in Soho, serves "cheap yet virtuous fare". We momentarily misread that as "cheap yet vitreous", which makes considerably less sense. Anyway, Hummus Brothers has all manner of chickpea-related foods, usually with something like portabello mushrooms mixed in.

What, are there no healthy fish and chips to be had in all of London-town?
