I'd be curious as to whether you still think so after watching this slide show:
Some of the dishes in your slide show looked pretty appealing, Stoat.
Others looked downright weird.
Spent some time in the UK in the early 1970s. TDY to RAF Mildenhall. Liked their Bangers & Mash. Their mutton. Loved their Yorkshire pudding!
Couldn't get behind the idea of room temperature beer, so I fell in love with Single Malt Scotch instead. The Brits do seem to love their Beans & Spam too.
