Our cuisine and diet has a poor reputation, but I think some of our actual produce (vegetable and dairy) is not so bad. We don't have the warm or sunny climate for flavoursome tomatoes, but root vegetables grown here can be fine.
It's also common for cows to graze outside for part of the day (true of Ireland and Sweden too). It's subjective, but I think it makes for much nicer tasting fresh milk (compared to the UHT variety that is more of the norm in other European countries).
- user5994461 9y agoI can't tell about your cuisine or what you produce, but what is in your supermarkets is very disappointing.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoI think that’s just cultural conditioning. Many of the products found in continental supermarkets are equally disappointing for visitors from the UK :)
- vram22 9y ago>We don't have the warm or sunny climate for flavoursome tomatoes I'd read even as a kid, in English novels, that greenhouses were somewhat common in the UK. Do tomatoes not grow well even in greenhouses there?
