Who said food in England sucks?
Well, actually, some do… but most are acceptable.
Pic above: Mushroom and some other veg kinda dish (prolly has fish too, forgot).
Mixed grill. This thing is like 3 times bigger and with better meat than what mix grill consists of in Tokyo. All this meat makes me sick!
The infamous fish & chips! Plus, sausages and baked beans!
English breakfast rocks! Sausages, fried egg, toast, bacon, hash brown, black pudding (pork or cattle blood), baked beans, and tomato. Its missing the mushroom, though.
English breakfast again. This time it has the mushroom but is missing the black pudding.
Prawn cocktail flavored crisps! Boy, did I miss this! In the bag is just a BLT baguette.
Chicken curry rice, asparagus soup, lasagna, and of course a cup tea.
Jacket potato with ham, chicken and potato filling.
Raspberry crumble.
Steak toast and apple crumble with custard. The steak was practically like cardboard.
Good ol’ cuppa teas!
Some kinda prawn and cucumber pancake rolls.
Jumbo sausage and chips (with salt and vinegar).
Sausage roll, cornish pasty, chicken and mushroom pasty, chips, baked beans, and a Lucozade. I missed Lucozade too.
The best Indian restaurant around (in Manchester).
Mixed Indian starters: samosa, tandoori chicken, etc.
The naan is massive!
Large size prawn curry and mutton curry.
Tony stuffing himself silly.
Of course had Chinese food too. All kinds of dim sums.
BBQ golden piglet.
Crab claw balls.
Lobster with ginger and spring onions.
Abalone.
Fish, chicken, duck, rice, noodles, etc., etc.

The chinese food looks awful
But the others look good. Where be them crumpets?
So much tea man, careful with teeth staining!!
One of the biggest problems with food in the UK right now is the growing trend for many pubs to purchase from places like 3663 and Brake Bros.
Whilst these people do sell a range of ingredients that many good restaurants and pubs use, they also supply a lot of convenience food and rubbish.
The quality chef has fast become a thing of the past in many places and they serve up a menu of nothing but the most appalling quality.
The menus from place to place have become very generic and stagnant, especially when you go to one of these corporate chain pubs that seem to be everywhere these days.
One of the big problems with Chinese food in the UK is that it is catered to western tastes and often bares no resemblance to anything you would find on the Chinese mainland, some of this can be down to the inability to get many of the ingredients that are so readily available in China, for example, ever tried getting the same kind of lamb that they use in hotpot in China? It’s pretty hard, or the green vegetable used in real dumplings or goubuli.
