To say (truthfully) that English food isnât spicy isnât the same as saying itâs flavorless. Theyâre good with sweets and savories, and theyâve got marvellous cheeses (sharp, not necessarily pungent). They do have an unfortunate fondness for boiling things into submission, but thatâs primarily an issue with vegetables, and I donât like vegetables in the first placeâŠ
Soon we will live in a world without land animals and we will have fish in the ocean againâŠâŠâŠâŠ.. We will be vegetarians and eat a good tasting, healthy, balanced diet by preparing vegetables and fish properly with herbs and spices. Currently, it is not the norm here in North America, however with the proper knowledge and ingredients it is possibleâŠâŠâŠâŠ.
Once upon a time I had to spend a month on a British military base - the eggs were fried in mutton grease. Actually, everything was fried in mutton grease. They LOVED mutton grease, AND loved mutton, for Godâs sake! I STILL despise mutton grease (and mutton)âŠ
(This was, of course, some years ago - possibly their dietary habits have changed.)
My 50 year-old ex has lived in Australia almost her whole life, and while sheâs had lamb innumerable times she canât recall ever having eaten muttonâŠ
(But Commonwealth countries still use animal lard as shortening a lot, while more civilized countries tend more towards butter or vegetable oils. Iâve heard that mutton fat is particularly nasty, as Ushindi notes.)
At this time of night Iâm having trouble remembering where I stayed in London, just a few blocks from the British Museum; but being a very nice hotel it had wonderful âEnglish breakfastsâ. Its dinner menu was very worthwhile too.

The English make some tasty deserts. And of course fish and chips!

I have always liked a ploughmanâs lunch, bangers and mash and shephardâs pie along with a pint.

A nice good beef roast is acceptably English. Prime rib. MmmmmmmmâŠâŠ
For some strange reason, a Frenchman who calls Englishmen Rosbifs believes that it is insulting.

Feh. My sister went to England, and all she ate was bland paste.

Nighthawks Premium Member almost 15 years ago
hey, with the right blend of sauces and seasonings you can easily turn that bland paste into spicy paste.

English chocolates are seriously underrated.
