On a recent trip home to my country of birth, that little angry island that used to be in Europe, I was drinking with some old mates in a pub by the river or sipping tea in a chimney — or wherever British people hang out. While in a rambunctious gin-fueled debate, I must have uttered some Americanism, some bastardized version of the holy English tongue. We got married and moved from Oxford to California. We now have two American kids, who both do terrible British accents. The idea was magical to me. At the time, I was tired of everything English — drizzle, bread sauce, repressed emotions. I was sick of the Old World — a bitter, damp former empire where everyone knows their place and still doffs their hat to an old lady on a throne. I wanted people to yell rather than passively-aggressively mumble.

Why British food is terrible. I consider myself very lucky to have friends from all around the world, but there are admittedly one or two downsides. But perhaps the worst part of it is the indignity of the constant jokes at the expense of your nationality. But the favorite jab of my international friends is to go for the obvious, and insult British food. It doesn't matter where you go in the world — the reputation of my national cuisine precedes itself. British food is quite Yet I can't help but feel that the critics are missing out on a country with a lot of culinary potential. After all, there's no problem with the produce. The United Kingdom invented, and continues to produce, some of the world 's most popular cheeses , high-quality meat such as Angus beef, heavenly strawberries, punchy rhubarb, and beautifully balanced chocolate.
