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.
