Is that why English food is so bad? I always wondered…
LOL!
Yes, and if a vegetable isn’t boiled for at least two hours, then its not cooked properly 😉
Actually, the UK has had a revolution in cooking habits over the last 2 -3 decades. Its probably all those Gen-Xers sick reacting to the Spam fritters and boiled brussel sprouts that thier parents made them eat.
Its even possible to eat out now, without having to take out a mortgage to pay for it.
I think its one of the many benefits of having immigration – people from other countries were so disgusted with our food that they settled there and opened restaurants and delis, thereby showing the British that nice food is actually possible.
Although, having said that, the concept of “British Cuisine” these days is very flexible – Chicken Tikka Massala (Indian) is actually the Nation’s Favourite Dish.
