I live in the UK. Tonight we had fresh haddock and chips, caught locally. Yesterday we had lamb curry, made with locally sourced lamb. Local produce is abundant, and high quality. How you cook it is up to you, but we also have some of the best chefs in the world.

The food, the weather and the women made Britain a seafaring nation.

That's not even digging into the various curries that gained their current forms in Britain, mainly by British Indians, who are just as British as any other.

Stargazy pie is pretty good.

Going out to eat is eating some other ethic or nationality’s food.
