Beryl Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I don't mind veggie food, just as long as it's done in a way so that I don't wonder where the meat is.I can't understand veggies who want meat substitutes, I dont' understand that at all: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Katie Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I think, and this is only my opinion that the British had no belief that their food was good. We were brought up with this stuff then we discovered other international cuisines and they have become 'trendy' over the recent 30 years. British food became the food for the 'untravelled' if you like. British restaurants never really took off in UK only pub grub such as scampi and chips which gave us a bad name was available.I think it is only very recently that we have looked back at grandmas recipes and thought wow how good was that? Although it is mostly hearty and filling stuff which we need in our colder climes, no way should it be dismissed. So who knows where it will go in the future. It certainly deserves a spot.Come to think of it I read in Living France (I think) a few years back of an English woman who opened a restaurant in Dordy and gradually introduced English Fayre and it took off with the French.Can anyone throw any light on that one?

hastobe Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I remember an article KKK - not sure if its the one you're thinking of- Aunty Lou's (I think) it was called. Served fish and chips andtraditional British fayre.Kathie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Yes Kathie, something like that. She took over a restaurant and gained quite a reputation for French cooking. When she had a rather large French clientele, she gradually introduced Brtiish to the menu and it went down a storm. I do believe, when you really think about it our food is amongst the best. Or am I being biased.Chauffour, I think when you started this thread you meant what you said because I think you knew very little about British food (I may be wrong). But from reading through the replies, what do you now think? Honestly, we wont gang up on you, it is just interesting to know from you and any other non Brits who use this forum.
