    We had rationing into the 50s which fucked with people’s views on food for decades. It’s fine now but I’d assume most food people eat here is foreign inspired.

    Funnily enough I think Ireland had the same issue. Being an island was helpful during the war but not the years after.

      No, Irelands relationship with food was more influenced by Britain taking our food to sell, while forcing millions to die due to potato blight. The great hunger. You might have forgotten, but we didn’t.

      It’s fine now but some “staples” of our cuisine are trash. If you value your low blood pressure, don’t go into threads about people asking for food recommendations while visiting Britain. It’s just full of people recommending actual garbage like fish and chips from a take away. Are people delusional? I’ve been to dozens of chippies across the country, and save one meal at the Magpie in Whitby, I’ve never had a chippy tea that’s lived up to expectations.

      Recommend a good haggis or something rather than the bland meme food.
