If you’ve only ever tasted the sort of beef sold in the main British supermarket chains, that might be a fairish assessment. But if you’ve tried slow-reared, rough grassland-fed, properly hung Galloway or Devon Red ‘wild’ beef from Dartmoor sold through a local butcher (and its equivalents elsewhere in the country) it’s a very different story.
The same goes for potatoes - although in recent years even the mass-market supermarkets have greatly increased their range of potato varieties sold. But still nothing like the locally grown produce sold through farm shops and farmers’ markets etc.
If you know where to look, the quality of fresh produce on sale in Britain is as high as you will find anywhere - at a price.
That is true. Especially the organic produce in Britain is excellent, as is the classic British beef 😀
Sadly, they are not exported to any great extent, as far as I know. The British obviously prize these specialties very much themselves, and enjoy them themselves 😀
Stichelton (sic) cheese - hmmmm!
