I was going to reply to the thread about the "60 reasons Britain is great", however I thought this deserved a new one.
Why is British food so awful... Really, why do we serve such garbage. We have some great chefs in the UK in addition to some fantastic cookery shows but then when you go out to eat, it's all garbage unless you eat something none British.
The UK must be one of the easiest places in the world to make money on food, you take any old garbage, deep fry or microwave it, and provide the biggest portions you can find, and everyone is happy.
I mean why take a perfectly good fish, and deep fry it to destruction, probably to hide the fact it wasn't a good fish in the first place.
What really annoys me is that places in the UK can't even serve basic food from basic ingredients, I mean if you can't serve chips that are made freshly from potatoes, why even bother. We can make frozen chips at home.
English breakfasts and Sunday Roasts are probably the wierdest food in the world, you can take a combination of random food, over cook it, and throw it all on a plate, in enormeous portions.
Salad, I mean what do we do to a good salad in the UK, we take the worst possible lettuce and murder it, then throw in something random for the garden and then serve it with everything that we can, knowing that no-one will eat it because its awful.
Meat, we have a great habit of destorying the meat. We love our meat to be overcooked until it barely resembles meat, and then cover it in gravy and sauces to hide the fact it's awful.
OK rant over....
Awaiting the incoming......
