Totster Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Someone told me that britishfood was <deleted> ! Is it really that bad ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depends on where you buy it. Chips (steak fries for the septics) up North are crap and mostly so in London, but they have improved out of all recognition in the rest of the country. Pub grub varies, again depending on where you buy it, but good pubs sell great food. Add a decent pint of real beer and heaven can sod-off 'coz I'm already there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do love the Sunday roast especially the roast pork with crackling and apple sauce or roast beef with yorkshire puddings,all serve with golden roast potatoes and veg..yum yum <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Roast lamb...... arrrgghhh toster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medicinebox Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 As Noodles prooves the British cusine is fantastic. Most people think its all fish and chips or curry. Not many 'British' restuarants about, because of the preperation/cooking time that goes into this quality food. Real countryside pubs will always have some on the menu. Home made, just look for the chalk board menu behind the bar or on the wall, and you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Funnily enough I was comparing the food in LoS with the Thai food served in the UK, particularly the stuff in a restaurant in Ipswich. The UK Thai food is very good and expensive ( ), maybe it's the need to use pukka meat and other ingredients, but I definitely preferred the Anglicised Thai food to the 'real' stuff. Perhaps it's the lack of "one pound of noodles to one pound of chillies" that makes the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastender Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I spent 3 years in Asia pining for a Ploughman's lunch. I've been back in the UK for 6 months since and haven't bothered to have one. Perhaps the grass was greener? And one thing I never realised I'd missed until I was back, being able to have a conversation in English, at normal speed, about in depth things. (Although it took a week to get out of the habit of talking slowly with simple words). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 The more I read that long list of Brit-food the more I love this country's REAL cooking. Even simple snacks like Cornish pasties, the real ones not the slurry-filled supermarket crap, are a joy for your taste buds. In fact that's probably the reason why our food has a bad reputation. Unless you make it yourself the only stuff you can buy is the <deleted> that the stores/bakeries make and they are all, without exception, a disgrace to UK food.
