English Food Is The Best In the World

I think you guys have missed the point.....

Why do think the British Isles haven't been successfully invaded since 1066. It's a cunning plan........

Yorkshire pudding is best served at home..... It should be served by itself and be ROUGHLY 8" OR 205mm in metric artillery terms.... in diameter, with gravy poured into the middle of it... mmmmmmm. Some would rather serve it as a sweet with a sprinkling of sugar..... You could say it's our equivalent of a multifunctional waffle or crepe..... both equally delicious, but probably not best served with roast beef and all the trimmings.

Some other countries lay claim to having the best cuisine, but Britain can lay a just claim to having the best puddings in the world.

Don't come to Ireland, not for food anyway. Unless of course you like food thats been boiled so much you can suck it thru a straw

YOu are all heritics. British food is the greatest on God's earth. Roast dinner is simply the best food on the planet. Pies and Cornish pasties are mannah from heaven. Spotted Dick, Bread and Butter pudding or Carrot cake (all served with Birds custard) is the food of kings.
It really pisses me off when the French go on about how great their food is. I recently tried snails or escargots at they call them They taste like garlicy snots. Horrible.

By the way, I was in Plymouth at the weekend watching West Ham United and had a pasty that must have weighed about two stone. It was gorgeous filled with meat and potatos and only cost me £1.50.

English food - love it. Particular favorites are the world's heaviest breakfast and shepherd's pie. Mind you, the French, the Italians, the Spanish and the Greeks have something to back up their claims as well.

cheers

Take all that each nation has to offer in the best of it's food.

I have to agree with Lacplesis,

Some of the best food I have had in England has been Pub fare.

The ploughman's lunch at the John Barleycorn pub located in Duxford adjacent to the Imperial War Museum located at the former Duxford RAF Station.

The pickeled onion and white cheddar cheese together with a pint (or 2 or more!) was delightful.

The down side is that they call everyone "me luvver". (the people, not the pasties that is.

Chicken Tikka Massala (sp?). Apparently it's the new national dish! Lovely. I have to admit though, roast dinners are ace, but why are your Grans always better than your Mums??
