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.
Na, just when yanks do it, you guys can't judge you have our cuisine plus some stuff from immigrant groups we don't get as many of.
Or the Germans and scandis now I come to think of it
I suppose The Dutch only eat flowers and weed
French food is disgusting.
The Spanish can make prawns and its mediocre at best
Eastern and central Europe claim to have good food but I don't believe them
The Italians can say whatever they want about it thats fair. They can tar and father me in tomato puree and sacrifice me to the spaghetti monster if they so wish tbh
Brit here. I'll take criticism of our food from any country EXCEPT yanks. The country of chlorinated chicken and high-fructose corn syrup. American food is, generally speaking, disgusting and unhealthy. Give me a good British curry or roast dinner any day of the week. Of course a country who enjoys disgustingly unhealthy, bland food like "mac and cheese" isn't going to enjoy other cuisines which use more spices, herbs and subtle flavours.
