A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there’s lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

I’ve been to London twice … and the best food I’ve ever eaten the whole time there was fish and chippy from a street vendor by tower hill.
Only the Brits would colonize half the world looking for spices and then refuse to use them in their food.
Oh, do fuck off. It’s such a tired cliché and wrong. Our traditional dishes predate conquering almost the entire fucking world. So, no, they don’t tend to feature spices other than pepper and nutmeg because that was all we had 500 years ago.
But now our national dish is chicken tikka masala. We love our BIR curries, like Madras; Jalfrezi; Vindaloo; Korma; Pathia; and Balti. These were invented here, in the UK, for UK palates. So you can fuck off and shove whatever cuisine your country has up your fucking arse while you’re at it. Cunt.
I love spicy food, and once tried to order vindaloo at a family-run Indian place in Cornwall, but the owner convinced me to have Madras instead. Lucky thing, because the Madras was right at the perfect edge of my heat tolerance. I wouldn’t have been able to eat the vindaloo lol.
“We stole other countries foods and made them ours.”
Pop them in a museum and you’d complete the picture.
TIL: I should have explored more when I was over there … I just went to “pubs” and what I thought were British places … never thought of venturing on that side of the culinary spectrum.
Sounds like I need another trip soon LOL
If you’re going to go to the pubs for British food don’t do it in London. Don’t do it in a city at all, to be honest, all the really good ones are out in tiny villages or the middle of a moor.
