I suggest rather than hang out on the politics and opinion pages of The Guardian, you travel to their truly excellent food section which is open to comments - with the exception of the apparently delicate Nigel Slater. It's a revelation in vox populi.

There you will find out what the average Brit thinks of food and food prices and reasonable and outrageous opinions on what the British import and export and what exactly will happen once they leave the EU, if they do. Again, it reconfirms my personal experience with the British that they will do anything not to spend an extra quid for decent food when fish fingers and Dairylea cheese and Bird's Custard Powder will suffice. Oh, and they will tell you that "country of origin" is a moveable feast and cannot be trusted. Just like we cannot trust "Italian" olive oil when it really comes from Greece.

Go there every day and you will learn a lot.

Sigh, I read the Guardian, the Sun and the Daily Mirror — the truth is somewhere between all of them.

I’d suggest you read the wider group - all newspapers distort views for themselves.

As to what Brits think of the food prices, I get that first-hand from Brits both in the cities and in the countryside.
