No offence, but (1) hasn't been true for literally decades now, showing you to be a out of touch about the UK, which begs the question are you even vaguely right about 2 or 3?
- contingencies 9y agoSorry but your comment does not accord with recent first hand experience.
- louthy 9y agoSorry but your recent first hand experience isn't compatible with the phrase "English people have famously bad taste when it comes to food". One person's experience doesn't usually make something famous. I agree with the GP that this isn't a fair characterisation any more.
- heimidal 9y agoLike it or not, it's a prevailing stereotype in the US. After a trip to London a couple years back, I know that's not true, but the stereotype is going to take a long time to wear down.
- louthy 9y agoNot arguing that it's not a stereotype that persists. I'm agreeing with the poster that said it's not a fair characterisation any more, which was then disputed.
- eru 9y agoUS food isn't really better than the British stuff. Go to South East Asian (or Asian in general?) to meet some peoples obsessed about food. Continental Europe might also count.
- switch007 9y agoThe second half of (1) is mostly true IMO. Greggs is immensely popular and does huge turnover (£835m in 2015). It is full of greasy, salty, sugary crap. Others in top 10 revenue include KFC, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Subway, Nandos (tasteless, pre-cooked chicken, overpriced, small side portions)
- foldr 9y agoSure, but Americans eat a lot of crappy fast food too.
