Question

British Cuisine Some people criticize English food. They say it’s boring, tasteless, its chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables. The basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavor that British haven\'t had to invent sauces to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh peas or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say \"Fish and chips\" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn\'t lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to find a good English restaurant with reasonable prices. In most cities in Britain you\'ll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you\'ll also find Indonesian, Mexican and Greek. Cynics will say that this is because English have no \"cuisine\" themselves, but this is not quite the true.
