Just out of interest, I wonder how many of your American knockers of British cuisine have ever been here and tried it?

The Spectator article was silly, I have had excellent and also terrible food on both sides of the Atlantic (and pretty much everywhere else I've visited), but all this Brit bashing and "America is besting" that I am reading on here says more about those writing it than it does about Britain or it's food.

Just my view, feel free to slaughter me ;o)
