@@Bangyourbirdnumb Joe's attitude does leave much to be desired. Almost like he doesn't even want to be doing this. I will say most famous "British" dishes are just kind of mid. Its mainly just varieties of a meat + bread + potatoes with very very limited spices when compared with the rest of the world. So many better cuisines. Laotian, Indian, Mexican, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Italian, Pakistani, Japanese etc etc etc. The good news for the British is if "American" can even be considered its own cuisine then it is one of the few countries whose cuisine is more boring and bland than the cuisine of Britain. If we were putting the cuisines of the world in a tier list British would be C tier at best but really D tier. I mean in all seriousness what countries would be lower? America, maybe some Scandanavian countries?
