Depends of which European food. I'd rather eat US food than Dutch or English food. We kept eating in Chinatown in London because their food was both shitty and expensive. And we bought stuff from Indian grocery shops. I can't thank the Chinese and Indian immigrants enough for this. Germany was a bit better in this regard.
- ido 3y agoDuring our visits to England, in both Nottinghamshire and Sussex we had great (albeit not very varied, healthy or interesting) local cuisine. I was actually surprised, as I was aware of the stereotype that English food is terrible!
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoMy resting theory is that England invaded most of the world because they just wanted something better to eat.
- petre 3y agoTheir weather too. I always remember the opening chapter from Bleak House when anyone mentions English weather. What I do like about their food is breakfast. It's simple, tasty and would set you up until 4 pm. Plus the tea and the cookies but I don't consider those "food".
- timc3 3y agoThe problem with English/British food is that some/a lot of restaurants care very little about the food, and more about maximising profits. These restaurants tend to be in the most highly trafficked areas, and in tourist spots. So you need to research where to go. But English food at its best is as good as anywhere and pulls influence from a variety of cultures. But I would rather shop in a general UK supermarket than a general American one any day. The food is not as processed and not full of crazy ingredients ( but is getting worse ), and you can often buy local.
