Not sure why but the entire British isles are infamous for having really horrible food. They tend to boil the flavor out. Why this is, I don’t know.
I had heard that. There used to be a fantastic English restaurant in Manhatten but it closed. There Shepherds Pie was excellent.
I’ve never been to any of the British Isles, so I don’t know for sure, but my son went years ago on a concert tour with a boy’s choir he was a member of.
He said everything tasted odd. Even at Mcdonald’s, where you know they don’t boil anything.
