I can honestly say that, aside from "good pubs", Pret a Manger is the thing I miss most having moved from London to San Francisco. There's just nothing like it for quick, easy, good coffee-and-premade-food (or I just haven't found it - in which case, please consider this a masterful invocation of Cunningham's Law).

- robotmay 6y agoI think of onigiri as a Japanese variant of the Cornish Pasty. I imagine it does have similar roots: making an edible wrapper for food that preserves it until lunch.
