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!

@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.
