> I think part of it is that UK standards are lower when it comes to food
This is patent nonsense. Current UK food standards for the moment are aligned with EU standards despite Brexit.
> Comparing meat specifically in Portugal vs UK, it's generally awful in the UK, but I've never heard anyone there complaining about it. Therefore, the standards must be lower, even if by simple virtue of people not knowing any better.
Yet more nonsense based on absolutely no evidence at all.
- NickNameNick 4y agoI think they mean personal expectations, not safety or technical standards.
- teh_klev 4y agoThen that's what they should have said.

- jollybean 4y agoYou have misunderstood the comment. The food selection in Italy, in most areas, is unmatched anywhere else. It's because of what Italians demand. If UK citizens really wanted better food, it would appear. 'Health and Safety' standards and even 'grade certifications' etc. have nothing to do with it.

I'm sure Italy has its own fair share of shit-end supermarkets punting low quality produce as much as any other European country. > You have misunderstood the comment. Hardly my fault if the OP chooses to use a very specific phrase with a very specific meaning when it comes to food quality.
