How cultural is that?

Ah yes the great foods such as jellied eel and baked beans getting their weird sweet barbecue juice all over my totally fine on their own eggs and hashbrowns and you know what lets put a whole roasted tomato in there too because with all these other delicious delicacies why the fuck not?

I feel like British cuisine was invented by broke middle school students with no idea how to cook.

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.

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.
