Eat London
» Copy an idea that worked well in Melbourne three years ago
» Divide up central London into 14 grid squares
» Gather together community groups from across London, and share out one square each
» Get each group to plan special recipes for the iconic buildings therein
» Bake a range of native and ethnic foods representing diverse cultures
» Ooh look, a Gherkin made out of grapes, Tower Bridge built from stacked samosas, and an Elephant and Castle chocolate fudge cake
» Mmm, the Houses of Parliament constructed from cucumber sandwiches and the London Eye as a giant pizza with red pepper capsules
» Pile everything up on 14 big trolleys and wheel into the middle of Trafalgar Square
» Make speeches, bang drums and take photographs
» Wheel sections back to tents around the perimeter of the square and feed to a ravenous public
» Oi, stop pushing in you annoying teenagers, there's enough for everyone
» Hmm, how long have these sandwiches and sausage rolls been left out in 20° heat?
» Hmm, all that spray from the fountains flying everywhere, surely that can't be healthy either?
» And the pigeons! Surely Health and Safety should have something to say about the pigeons
» I wonder how much of this food they'll end up throwing away at four o'clock
» Oh never mind, London's never tasted better
