If I hear that an Indian restaurant locally has been busted by immigration, I immediately head round.
Also, the reason most British food is bland is because of rationing during WW2. People who grew up back then ate food which was made with limited resources and that was the food they felt nostalgic for and made for their children, who then went on to make it for their own children.
It's a miracle the French still have good food then
France is (mostly) not an island and they weren't besieged during WWII.
I've also heard that Britain rolling early with the Industrial Revolution meant that they got the big cities quicker and fed them with bland canned goods before they worked out the fresh goods logistics.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys. Created a state of the art defence system but didn't extend it across the gap where 'the Germans will never invade through such rough terrain' although they did before during WWI.
