How you cook it is down to you but I am certain if you tasted some on mine and my friend freshly prepared dishes you might not knock our food so much.
After all what is there not to like about a freshly grilled (broiled) piece of meat served with seasonal vegetables accompanied by some form of sauce or gravy if so you wish.
Followed of course by a traditional English pudding or dessert which we have influenced the world with such as Apple Pie, baked cheese cake etc many such dishes have been adapted by other countries including the US into your own unique desserts.
Dear Snugs,
I appreciate your spirited defense of England’s cuisine and other aspects of your great people.
While I am sure that there is well-prepared British food, you are well-known for over-cooking and boiling the heck out of your meats. Of course your dairy food has an excellent reputation, as do your breakfasts and treats served with tea.
That said, people don’t go to England for British cuisine. The British, like the Americans, have never been shy about importing, adapting or borrowing good things from other peoples for their own use. But you will not see to many places where the people going out say, “What will it be? How about some good steak and kidney pie?” While I don’t doubt Tuppy Glossop’s taste on these matters, it just isn’t what comes naturally to people.
On another thread (having to do with tea bags) I mocked the many American restaurants that don’t even have real butter on the premises. Then again, American food is not known for being incredibly sophisticated (though the Americanized apizza in New Haven, and properly done ribs and chicken in south Chicago are wonderful experiences not easily matched.)
Like so many Americans, I have a substantial amount of English in me, but since the rest is Polish, German and Irish, maybe I should stay off the topic of food altogether!
