I’ve never been to Great Britain, but my son did about 25 years ago. He said all the food had a very distinctive and unpleasant taste, even the MacDonald’s.
Now the only thing that I can think of that would cause that is something in the water supply. Can anyone enlighten me?
Have relatives there. Visited in early 70s, mid eighties, and mid-90s. Not much difference from us anymore. Used to be terribly bland, led by the ubiquitous “salad creme” salad dressing, which was basically mayonnaise.They still have fish and chips shops (excellent) like we have sub shops, and things like Scotch eggs and pork pies. But otherwise, their supermarkets are indistinguishable from ours.
In the seventies, there were no supermarkets, and people shopped daily at the local butcher, baker and candlestick maker.
I remember three wheeled cars from that era, too. It was very exciting to me as a kid. Sadly, their cars are indistinguishable from ours. Theirs have gotten bigger, and ours have gotten smaller.
