What UK food is better than anywhere else in the world ?

Fish and chips.
Roast beef and Yorkshire puddings.
Roast pork.
@FairyGirlGemma they’ve been phasing those kind of restaurants out over here it seems.
@SensitiveCha0s How dare they!! 😡
@FairyGirlGemma I agree! As a kid I used to enjoy Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips and they closed up many years ago. More recently, Long John Silver’s was the only place to get it anywhere remotely near here. That also seems to have left the region. 😒

The fish & chips are pretty well iconic, and probably the first thing I'd want to try.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Awwwww.
Indeed, delicious :)
I heard good things about....fish and chips lolz
Nimbus · M
@Dewms You're not the only one ;)

Can't go wrong with a cheese oatcake. Even though that's not really a a generic UK thing. More of a where I'm from thing.
Moonpenny · F
@NickiHijab Yay!!!
I only have them when I go home 😕
NickiHijab · F
@Moonpenny Are you from Staffordshire? There's this place in stone called oatcakes and milkshakes. I don't go often but whenever I have, it's been great
Moonpenny · F
@NickiHijab
That sounds like my kinda place 😋
No, I was born in Derbyshire. We had oatcakes all the time 😁

Fish & chips .. especially when its smothered it salt , brown & then for

the pièce de résistance Dashes of onion vinegar.

Then all wrapped in paper ..so that the lovely flavors soak in.

..on a plate ..fork in ..


Never been anywhere abroad & tasted anything like the same.


No matter how much they try.

Its just not done ;)

Fish and chips. I've had them once, and I hear that they are better in the UK than anywhere else.
Chevy454 · 46-50, M
It’s a Florida fish. Only thing that would be better is Snook or Cobia. but they’re not a commercially sold fish. Cobia sometimes is. @Nimbus
Nimbus · M
@Chevy454 Never heard of those either.
Chevy454 · 46-50, M
Some of the few I will even eat. @Nimbus

@Nimbus We plan on hiking. I never get to plan (somehow the worst planner does it). I'd have to go through my emails to see where we are planning to go.
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Good.

The west side is much more scenic and wild than the east.

@Nimbus Found it...

This was one of the links: https://anicewalk.wordpress.com/tag/the-old-forge/

Then they were joking about this:

Our roast beef dinners are awesome....[image deleted]. Fish and chips is great
Nimbus · M
@Platinum Yes, I have noticed that too.
Platinum · M
We spent a week at whitstable Kent. a couple of weeks ago and went to a pub by the beach and their fish and chips was out of this world@Nimbus
Nimbus · M
@Platinum Sounds good.

I have found that to be the case at nearly all coastal places.
HuH?
You're joking, yes?
Fodor's guide to France in 1979 said this, "if you love to eat good food, eat in France, but if you love a clean toilet catch the ferry to England."

England relies on predominantly factory farmed meat, which tastes insipid and lacks Omega 3.
It's traditional dishes can be done to a gourmet standard, but that rarely happens in the average household.
England is now full of restaurants run by immigrants from throughout the former colonial countries - and it's not one bit surprising that those businesses thrive.

The essence of British: a soggy Yorkshire pudding, boiled tripe in white sauce, overcooked cabbage, mashed potatoes, rock hard green tomatoes on iceberg lettuce with white vinegar... and a wine called Little Piddle.

Saints preserve us!

When I saw Curry as one of the best, it made me wonder. @hartfire
@Chevy454 The British even manage to murder curry.
They tip a heaped teaspoon of Keens curry powder into a frypan of onions and minced beef - and maybe add a stock cube and a bit of water - served with boiled white rice. Even the smell is off-putting.

A [i]real[/i] curry is totally different - it varies from region to region, savoury dishes of many kinds throughout India - and any of them can be one of the most gourmet treats in the world.
Moonpenny · F
@hartfire I've [b]never[/b] seen a curry made of minced beef and made how you describe. Maybe as a student, travelling around the UK, you were eating at the very cheapest establishments.
Chinese food... lol

But honestly, I have had Chinese food in many countries, but the best I had was in the UK..
@Nimbus I wish... :(
Moonpenny · F
@Soossie The best Chinese I had was in Germany too 😁
