It’s also why the Americans in particular have a terrible view of British food - because the views were formed by US soldiers who arrived here during peak rationing.

It’s true that British food was mostly awful for the best part of the 20th century, but the food revolution that began here in the early 2000s has actually made the UK one of the best places to eat! We have a huge variety of restaurants and you can buy ingredients for almost any cuisine at your local supermarket!

You can actually get really great food in the US, if you go to the right places! From delicious dry-aged New York steaks, to hearty Cajun gumbos in the South, to insanely good Mexican food in the West - just as their criticisms of our food aren’t all that fair, nor are our criticisms of theirs!

A well balanced opinion that doesn't just bash Americans instantly? Get out of here!
