The thing that prevents me from wanting to live in the UK is the food… I’m sorry if I offend anyone but the UK is one of the worst places in the world I’ve been to for food.

The great thing about globalisation is that you're not limited to the local cuisine anymore. Pizza today, curry tomorrow and perhaps fish & chips the day after.

I'm curious where you're from and what kind of food you like to eat. And what kind of food you tried, your experience with it in the UK. In my experience the food here can be really good. Food and choice in the supermarkets can be bad, and typical foods of those in poverty (including those who were raised under the spectre of rationing here) aren't good, but proper, traditional British food has a lot of variety and interest, in both produce and dishes.

  From NZ, lived in Australia, currently living in Singapore. Travelled to a few parts of Europe and all around Asia and America. I had a few good meals in the UK. In london near soho there’s a little pie shop. Mums pies or something. That was good. And a couple of other places. But majority of the food IMO is terrible and expensive. Edit: oh and I like food in Asia. Taiwanese, Thai, Malaysian. And a good burger.

The UK has more top restaurants than most countries, and one occasion had literally the best restaurant in the world - as judged by the French of all people who I guess don't give it out lightly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Michelin_3-star_restaurants#United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Michelin_3-star_restau...

in London you can have the best food in the world, but you'll often have to pay stupid prices for it. I say that as an Italian expat in Manchester (where things are... not that good).

There's every kind of food in London. I lived there previously and now I'm in New York. Food options in London are on par with NYC, and generally cheaper.
