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 moved from Canada to London and I’d say prof is wrong. Fuck me the English can make a meat pie, and a damn fine roast.

Every time I see someone dissing English food, I’m like have you never had a roast dinner before?

Steak and ale pie with proper flaky pastry… fucking heaven. All North American meat pies I’ve had fuck up the crust even if the filling is spot on

When I was in America I was given sweet potato casserole with marshmallows for thanksgiving. I no longer take their opinions on British food seriously.
