Rabs Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Lol.. Yes I can just imagine you in an apron (with the union jack on it) slaving over a hot stove ;) Nowt wrong with the food here.. maybe apart from the average standard of meat could be better... I have been too big meat countries like Australia and South Africa and the meat there is amazing. But yes.. we do biscuits and cakes REALLY well :D (as my stomach can attest too) I have watched that show too... Its good.. but our version of Masterchef is also better... None of that American overhyping everything style.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I used to wonder why the British were so enthralled and taken in by French cuisine. Then I tasted English food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skilsaw Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Why do English cooks need to boil the vegetables until they are mushy and grey colored? Mushy peas, and limp brocali. Yech. They do good Fish and Chips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D28boy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm afraid England/Britain is just like any other country...you need to know where to go to eat..I think we actually have some of the best restaurants in the world if you research it.....and also no doubt some of the worst !

btoth76 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello! If You stay away from those fancy restaurants, where they serve such a ...whatever... as main dish for über-expensive prices... ...You can't go wrong in Hungary. This is a proper Fish-paprikás with mushrooms: Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHenry Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I used to wonder why the British were so enthralled and taken in by French cuisine. Then I tasted English food. I think the idea that British food is bad and always overcooked is a little outdated, my grandparents generation did that. Nowadays food is an obsession over here, every other TV program is a "celebrity" chef, often traveling the world looking at different cuisine around the world. One commentator said that "food is the new Rock and Roll", he may not be far from the truth. Without whishing to start a bun fight (if you'll forgive the pun), on my travels without doubt the worst food that I've ever tasted has been in the U.S (although I've only toured around the West Coast and the Deep South), most of the restaurants wouldn't survive in Europe. Hang on, maybe I'll take that bit back, McDonalds have, God only knows why! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Hello Ian! Well... It's not a restaurant, rather an experimental weapon of mass-destruction. Knowing how desperate the EU is about over-regulating everything, I wonder how can these units operate here at all! I have no idea how they can conform to all these EU standards. Cheers...

pippy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I don't like to watch people prepare food when I can't eat it! Has anyone here seen the 2001 German film 'Mostly Martha'? It's main protagonist (Martha) is a top-flight, perfectionist workaholic chef in a 5-star restaurant. The best bit of advice I received was "Don't go to see this film on an empty stomach..........it'll be unbearable".... Good film, too! Pip.
