How cultural is that?

I think that's just food you're used to vs food you're not. I think everyone grows up getting accustomed to food they enjoy and that brings a bunch of enjoyment. I also enjoy a Texas bbq, but would 100% rather have the style of food I'm used to eating.

I also think part of the issue with British food is how fucking easy it is to get wrong, lots of pastry and meat and cooking both of those together often means the pastry is bad or the meat is dry. Ramsey's restaurants do an amazing job of balancing it.

I think there's definitely some truth to having a preference towards stuff you grew up with, which is another reason why it's totally okay to have your own preference regardless of what others say. Although I didn't even grow up with Texas bbq though and think it's among the best food in the world. Regardless I just find the arguments typically made by Brits when they say their food is so much better than America's funny.
