In addition to the curry houses, don't forget the Chinese and Indonesian food. We ate very well in London.

It's telling that this whiney lady is comparing American "fast food" to general English cooking - fish 'n' chips and Mighty Casey burgers are probably a more accurate comparison. I think that the average little American mom-and-pop restaurant that serves "meat and two" - usually chicken-and-dumplings, fried chicken, pot roast, meat loaf, or sliced turkey with your choice of two vegetables and a roll (or cornbread in the South) - is going to give you a better meal than your average English restaurant, say in a small county town. At least, that was my experience.

Indigenous English cooking just isn't all that great (sorry!) We got some very good meals in Scotland though.

Heaven: The English are the police, the French are the cooks, the Swiss are the administrators, the Italians are the lovers, and the Germans are the automobile mechanics.

Hell: The English are the cooks, the French are the administrators, the Swiss are the lovers, the Italians are the automobile mechanics, and the Germans are the police.

Just so ya know...Ferrari has dominated Formula one racing during the last few years. BMW and Mercedes are playing catch up.
