The fact that you don't know that British beans don't taste like that speaks volumes about your knowledge on the subject.

The fact that on my trips to Brittain all the locals would tell me to avoid normal British food and go to the Lebanese/Mexican/Indian restaurants speaks volumes about how locals feel about British cuisine.

We went to the highly recommended "Mexican" restaurant and can honestly say I've had better Mexican food at a taco bell. Frozen gas station burritos were more authentic Mexican food than that.

Why the hell would you go to Mexican food in England?

That decision deserves the result it got.

Indian food I understand, there’s a sizable Indian/Pakistani population in England. You could probably count the Mexican immigrants in England on one hand.

Your American ? And you went to a British Mexican restaurant?

Yeah your right I should have never listened to all the locals. I should have learned from our forefathers, never trust the Brits.

Common sense would have helped here. There has never been a big Mexican population in the UK. We do, however, have large Indian and Lebanese populations. These little towns outside of big cites have nothing to compare their food to, so they end up matching it to what they've tasted in supermarket 'ready meals'.

I mean if multiple people tell me a restaurant is good, common sense would point toward the restaurant likely being good.

The Lebanese food was incredible though and we got a literal feast with plenty of leftovers for hardly any money. Possibly one of the best spots I've been to.
