It's late in the game I know, but, I am going to have to throw
in and side with Clyde here! I spent 3 years in Europe and have a son that
lives in Brussels and visit him every year.
As for as English food, one can get a good boiled Filet
there! That's right, they boiled a Filet Mignon in water and served it
that way!!! No salt and pepper either! Now, please don't get me
wrong, I love England and the Brits. The best English food there, is an
English Country Breakfast with grilled tomatoes, bangers, toast and marmalade
etc. English Pub food can be great; a pint with bangers and mash or
shepherds pie is great comfort /bar food. But, that's
it!
One of my favorite restaurants in Europe is the
Restaurant au Armies du Brussels. Start with some Moule avec Crème
Brittany and a bottle of St Veran white Bourgogne. Then Filet of Sole
Maison avec Pomme du Terre. Finish with Crepes Flambé in Orange Mandarin
Brandy.
If I had to pick one place in the World where I would go for
food, it would be around the area of Strasbourg in Alsace. Chocroute en
Champagne, Tart Alsacienne, Coq au Riesling, and Bakeoffe to name a
few.
Well, I think that I'll go have an Entrecote in Poulet Frit
Sauce! (CFS)
Your missing my point and you know it
You go
To Italy for great Italian food
The same with France for great French cuisine
The same with Spain and Greece
That’s not the case for the UK
There is no such thing that I am aware of as English cuisine
And if there is I have never flown anyone across the pond stating they were
going there for that experience
You can talk your way around it all day long
But you know I am correct
Why go to another country to eat cuisine from another country?
The defense rest!

Yeah Anthony, if all you want is local
Italian food and I am not decrying that as I love it as I also love going to
Spain and eating their food in different regions. Less so France these days I
am sad to say., and I speak from a lot of experience. Believe you me I am a
real foodiie and base my trips about what I can
eat.
But my point is that in London you have
an enormous range of food from all over the world and whatever
Clyde might like to think, if you want some real food experience London is the
place to go. Research what food you want to eat then find it. It's quite easy.
But sure no, not like going to the nearest trattoria on the corner and
automatically getting great local food.
BTW
my current favourite local restaurant near where I live in UK is Turkish.
Absolutely fabulous food. But then again in my village we have a
splendid home made traditional British pie shop, plus 3 Indian, one Thai and
one Italian restaurant which are all good. Plus we have a few pub restaurants
within 5 miles serving mainly British but some fusion food which would
more than satisfy most culinary experts.
I
doubt Clyde would turn his nose up at any of
them
