If you were to go on a food tour of London what kind of things would you want to eat? 

 

1. Only British food

2. Food that actual Londoners eat (I.e food from around the world, London is an incredibly diverse city after all)

3. 50/50 British/Global

4. 70/30 British/Global

5. 30/70 British/Global

 

Some background. I'm a lifelong Londoner. I'm considering running a food tour where I share my knowledge and take people to places around London to try various food. I initially thought I'd do option 5. mostly food that Londoners actually eat and some British food, because we are in Britain after all. Most of the non-British food is better anyway.

 

However after speaking to a friend, he suggested that tourists would actually just want to try foods that they can't get in their own countries, regardless of the fact that they may not be the best tasting.

 

Thoughts? Especially interested in the opinions of anyone who isn't from London who has been on a food tour in London, or would consider going on one.
