For some reason, I don’t equate good food and Britain. 8-D

True, the Brits appreciate food as a boiler appreciates soft coal. It's necessary for function and if you shovel it in fast enough you don't have to "taste" it. It is my policy to avoid "boiled beef" like the plague. Although their "trifles" and puddings are enjoyable.

I took my mother for tea for Mother’s Day. A proper English Victorian tea. The absolute most scrumptious scones just out of the oven, with Devon cream and lemon curd. Savories, tarts and fruit for dessert. I brought home a dozen fresh scones and they were gone within an hour when my family discovered them.

"good food"

British cookies er biscuits are very delicious as are most British snack foods. "Jacob's" is one brand I can definitely recommend.

Their breakfasts weren't bad, but the rest was pretty bad.

They have some good food items. Fish and chips, can't beat that. Great cheeses.

They don't seem to like spicy food, though. I had to ask extra spicy at the Chinese and curry places i went to.
