A Kleftiko coup + other best British bites
The Greek dish called Kleftiko — basically lamb shoulder or shank braised in white wine, stock and herbs — is one of my favourite creations of all time. It originated with bandidos who cooked it under the ground so no one would know their whereabouts as they prepared dinner while leading a life of crime in the Greek countryside.
