I spent a few days in Britain, and had a hard time finding anything decent to eat. It was all fish and chips.

When I visited England in the 1960's, there was a chain of hamburger eateries called Wimpy--and that was an apt description of British hamburgers. On the other hand, I enjoyed subcontinental cuisine--curries, somosas, tandoori dishes, etc. on my last visit to England in the 1980's.

I remember seeing a Wimpy's when I lived in France in the 1970s. I never was tempted to try it, I think the name put me off.

BTW, I like your screen name. We had a very nice family vacation in Fiji a year ago, and would dearly love to visit again.
