If the French have the best food, how come they didn’t invent pizza?
HELL
-The food is British
-The cars are French
-The police are German
-The lovers are Swiss
...and the whole thing is run by Italians
Sorry. I don’t have any respect for the French. However, they do have the best food. And the British do have some of the worst, and most unimaginative food.
Fish and chips! Seriously?
Having taken several trips to Britain and Ireland, I can reliably say the British fish and chips are the best. They do serve them with mushy peas (delicious) which are usually not found in American fish dinners. Cornish pasties are also delicious. (I’ve got to try Devon pasties sometime. There’s a rivalry between Cornwall and Devon as to who has the best pasties.)
The French, Parisians in particular, have periodic waves of fascination with peculiar things foreign to them. I recall over a decade ago, they fell in love with pumpkins and had the Champs Elysees lined from one end to the other with Jack O’Lanterns. So, the English would do well not to get too excited, it’s le trendy, fickle and fleeting by nature.
It’s always appropriate to bash British food.
I’ve always gotten a kick out of Americans who look down their noses at British food. Those of us of Scots-Irish heritage — a substantial percentage — grew up eating mostly the same stuff.
Well, without the eel, of course.
I understand that the French have been eager consumers of food provided by a famous Scottish restaurant. In fact, this Scottish cuisine is readily available in the U.S. as well.
It is called, “McDonalds”.
I spent a few days in Britain, and had a hard time finding anything decent to eat. It was all fish and chips.
French food is for people with no teeth.
Speaking of which, I finally got a job.
I’m working for St. Halibut’s Fish and Chips.
Right now, I’m just a Chip Monk, I’m hoping to work my way up to Fish Friar, and with luck, some day maybe even up to ...
Lord of the Fries!

It was W. Somerset Maugham who wrote that if you wanted to eat well in England, you needed to eat breakfast three times a day. That was a long time ago but I don’t things have changed all that much since.
I don’t know what British food was like 50 years ago, but its is great now. Everything imaginable is available and great fusion cuisine
Gallic food does not agree with me.
British, Irish, um - no Scot experience to evaluate, Italian, German, um - no on Iberian food, yes on Slavic and Romani, but nothing from the Land of Gaul interests me.
It was THEY who foisted upon the rest of the world, that eight-inch blade, that for many, including myself here, is too darn big and cumbersome. The standard G.I.-blade is no more than 7 1/4 inches long. (Why else would all those smaller plastic-covered knives on QVC always sell out?)
