There is an old saying:
Heaven has Italian cooks
Hell has British cooks.

Used to enjoy on BBCA the cooking show “Two Fat Ladies” that featured British comfort food.

As my buddy likes to quip, “The British are to food what the French are to courage.”

Aside from the roast beef, at least before the mad cow scare, English food is pretty bad.

I have often thought that my ancestors came over here from England to have some decent food instead of that dull, boring brown and gray crap they seem to love in the U.K.
My Great Grandmother came over from England as a child, and that was the only style of cooking she knew. When she cooked, everything seemed to have that same dull flavor (unless you put a lot of pepper on it....which she did).
I'm not a big fan of diversity, especially the way the libs play it, but when it comes to food, the more the merrier.
Here in Panama City. FL we have way more restaurants than a town this size would usually have, but there are no restaurants specializing in British food.
* We do have three Irish restaurants, however.

There is an old saying: Heaven has Italian cooks Hell has British cooks. I believe the full version is: Heaven has British police, German engineers, French cooking. Hell has British cooking, French engineers and German police.
I suppose Italian could be substituted for French.

The only two people I know who’ve been to England both said you can’t find a good steak there. I just wouldn’t want to live in a world like that.

Welsh Rarebit -- Nothing pleases me more than finding these words on a menu. It is proof that the world has not quite lost its senses. Welsh rarebit is sometimes thought of as just cheese on toast, which is what people call it when they want to patronise it. But rarebit contains beer and mustard (you allow the grated cheese to melt into the beer in a saucepan), which makes a silky layer on top of your toast. A rarebit has bite, a suavity and a pleasing savour that no cheese on toast can ever have.
I make this on rainy days and everybody absolutely loves it. I don't drink beer, but I always keep a bottle around in case I want to make some "rabbit."

That show was a hoot. No wonder they were, uh, a bit up sized.

There is also one they say:
If you want technology, you speak German.
If you want culture you speak French.
If you want to eat well, speak Italian.
If you want to do business, you speak English.
