Weird British culture?

[Barrister]

I have to admit I really like haggis though 

Well, it was fine, certainly entirely edible, but nothing to write home about.  But to each their own.

Ah British food bashing.
That old cliche never gets old...it has always been old.
British food whilst not up there with Italian and other true foody nations is certainly one of the better cuisines. Britain makes the best pie in the world, the best sausages in the world and has quite  a few great dishes.

Britain makes pecan pie? And polish sausage?

I won't say that you can't get good food in Britain.  Youc an get good food just about aywhere, just like bad food.

But if you're going to judge a country by the quality of food you get in vaguely tourists spots (which is of course the kind of places I tend to find while travelling) Britain is pretty much at the bottom of the list.  Well, going by a sample size of one meal Lichtenstein would be even lower, but other than that I enjoyed the food more in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.  And of course Italy was in a whole different world in and of itself.

Not that the British food was terrible.  I never saw something I couldn't eat.  It was just very bland and unremarkable.

With the noticeable exception, as mentioned, of your Indian restaurants.  That was some good stuff.

Put flavor in your food then

It could have just been the batch I had.  I just remember being very surprised about how much I liked it.

Squeeze: are you talking about meat pies?

Lol.

[garbon]

Sorry but British food really isn't that lovely. I spent my days eating Indian, Chinese and Italian food. Well the British interpretations.

[Admiral Yi]

Lol.

Serious question.

Steak and kidney pie is one of my favourite meals 

But I have to agree with the non-British posters, the UK is one of the worst countries in the world to walk into a random restaurant and expect good food.

I don't know about one of my favourite meals, but I always enjoy a good steak and kidney pie.

I'm talking about the ones my wife makes Beeb, much better than the ones in the pub

Is the phrase " i'd put my steak up to my kidneys in her pie" used in england? if not it should be.
