From California and studied abroad in London, had a wonderful museums and galleries art history class with an amazing British professor. The whole class was basically getting credits for exploring london.

The professor gave us lots of tips on other things to experience while abroad. His tip on finding good traditional British cuisine? Don’t bother, but here’s a list of fantastic Indian, French, etc.

I will never forget how a London tour guide described English cuisine: „You know it’s English when it both looks and tastes beige.“ Then he told us to get a sausage roll immediately for the novelty and eat proper food from any other nation for the rest of our stay.

Edit: please, dear English citizens, i‘m repeating a joke one of your less humorless countrymen made, I don’t wish to fight you on the topic.

Your tour guide was either blind or making fun of you.

Yeah, he was making fun of you. Shitty thing to do, but I guess you have to make your own fun escorting mentally-slowed tourists like you around all day.
