Continuing on the random city posts (I swear, I'll get back to normal topics once I've pulled my brain out of Draft 2!), I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful thing: a food-map of the London Underground. Every station has been changed into a sort-of similar sounding food... brilliant. (Click to link below to enlarge.)
My station is Nutty Hill Gate. Now I'm starving.
If you could live at any food station of your creation, what would it be? Cow's Hind Quarters? Mornington Croissant? I'd love it if there were a Twizzlers station.

Being from Devon, I would probably opt for Clotted Cream, but I wouldn't mind a long stay at Caramel Park!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's fab! I usually travel up by overground train from East Croydon (or should that be Feast Croydon!) to London from where I am and then pick up the tube from there. I suppose I could always jump on at Vodka, sample Pimms en-route, and alight at Victoria Sponge. Yum Yum x
ReplyDeleteI like Toasted Buns. ;)
ReplyDeleteNDME
Egg Fried Rice looks tempting as does the Rice Krispy Treat stop. lol.
ReplyDeleteMornington Croissant looks good, but I'd probably go someplace where there's chocolate. I'm craving chocolate like crazy lately because I've given up for Lent.
ReplyDeleteLondon's Fudge is my fave. What makes me think you like food? I used to love fudge but can't eat it now due to a dairy intolerance.
ReplyDeleteHad an idea. How about a series of stories based around the new named stations? All that inc that said food. Fudge could appear as a main thing in London's Fudge.
ReplyDeleteLasagna Crossing Station would be nice...
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! That took a bit of time to do! I might like Latte Lane.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for Ice Cream Parlor Lane.
ReplyDeleteTwizzlers Station sounds good to me, but I think I'd like my stop to be Lucky Charm Junction.
ReplyDeleteI'll be coming to your fair city this summer , Talli! Just made my reservations. Now I will impress people with this lingo. OH! I'll be so popular in Londontown!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the anchovie pizza station? It would probably be a low population zone. There would be beer though.

Anything with chocolate. :) Love this!
ReplyDeleteha,,, deep fat fryers. i love it, especially next to mushroom.
ReplyDeleteI used to live at Ham Green (Turnham Green), but wished I'd lived at Caramel Park, yum. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a laugh.:)
ReplyDeleteIt's the Tubes, man! I remember navigating those when I was in London.
ReplyDeleteAnd my stop would be Hot Tamales of course!
It's a toss between Doughnut Drop and Twinkie Townshed.
ReplyDeleteIs there one for Hershey's Kisses? That would be mine.
ReplyDeleteSia McKye OVER COFFEE
Deep fat friars?!?! Yes please! Take care
ReplyDeletex
That is hilarious! Mine would be the Cheese, Olive and Wine Shack. :-)
ReplyDeleteMine would be Chocolate Ice Cream.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, it really cheered me and with the other followers who wrote decided there are more good people than not so good.
Yvonne.
I see there's a Nachos Park and a Pina Colada station. I'd be in that area. I do like Tracy Jo's Cheese, Olive and Wine Shack, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny. Could lead to allsorts of other things (pun intended). thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteVanilla Bean Central! That would cover vanilla in all its wonderful forms.
ReplyDeleteChoccy Coffee Street Station?
ReplyDeleteI lived right off Queensway on the red line. This makes me miss London so hard. Although really, not the food, except the curry:)
ReplyDeleteLindt Chocolate Station. No contest!
ReplyDeleteWatched an old movie, Sliding Doors, again on the weekend. The London Underground was featured but I didn't see Mars Bar Central anywhere.
ReplyDeleteDenise
LOL. That's an awesome map!
ReplyDeleteIf there's a Caramel Corner, I'm there!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, the underground seemed more gritty than sweet.
I could go for a nice hot, Mac and Cheese station.
ReplyDeleteSame here!
DeleteCute! I could go for the croissant one. Or a chocolate one?
ReplyDeleteIt's the middle of the night. I refuse to get hungry!
ReplyDelete...Too late. ;)
hah, thats cute!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say "Kraft Dinner Station" Oh yes... (I know, I am a uni student at heart!)
I'm laughing so much I can't answer your question!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would answer but I'm late for my train. Destination: Beef Stroganoff Station. Ohhh yeahhh!!!
ReplyDeleteFood station of my creation? LOve it! Mine would be Coconut Cafe. Cakes, cookies, candies, cocktails,ice crea, water...all things coconut!
ReplyDeleteHmm, food station, it would have to be somewhere with great coffee and books. What would I call it? Java Shelf maybe? Happy revising!
ReplyDeleteAnything that has to do with food is all right by me. Love it. =D
ReplyDeleteCrap. I just HAD to look at this over my lunch break. My measly salad doesn't look so good anymore! I'm a pastries gal at heart, so the croissant one or "tasted buns" sound great. Unfortunately, someone should drop me off at the Weight Watchers station and just leave me there... :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. What a way to view your route,though I don't recall them all like that.
ReplyDeleteLove it! If I were in London, I think I'd spend a lot of time at Toffee Court Road and Candy Town stations! lol
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing idea! That's all I'm going to be thinking about now - especially with two weeks left to go before we're in London for real!
