I’m on a FB group called “Rate My Plate”which is mostly Brits. Sausage (aka “sosig”), mash, fried fish, chips (fries), mince, yorkshire pudding, beans, and 3 or 4 fried eggs on every-damn-thing. And with brown sauce sloshed all over, of course. That’s it, that’s the entire British food menu. Throw in mushy peas if you’re eating at a chippy with some nasty looking curry sauce, and don’t even ask about a “full English breakfast”. So British kids or adults have no right to hold an opinion about American food!
Noooooo! My grandma grew up in London and made really tasty English food.
I’m convinced English food is why England developed into such a far-flung worldwide empire. Some Englishman looked at that sorry slab of boiled mutton on his plate, said “Bugger this, I’m going out for Chinese carry-out or a nice curry,” and the next thing you know he’d sailed to the other side of the world and conquered India and Hong Kong.
My family visited England when my sister got married (both USAF) and the food was ...... predictable.
The menu at every restaurant had fish and chips, some sort of beef, gammon (ham), “American style hamburgers” (dried out hockey pucks), peas, and fried mushrooms.
The Chinese restaurants were AWESOME!!!!!! Best Chinese I ever ate.

Been there done that, the baked beans are out of place but the grilled tomato is something I enjoyed. Eggs and Bangers, nothing unusual. The limp non crispy Bacon is meh. Overall I have had worst.
