Restaurants & take away foods?

[Ubercool]

India has a diverse range of cuisines of itself, and also there are many other global chains like McDs, Pizza Huts, Dominoes, KFC etc etc


No specific British Restaurant in here.

Would love to visit India some day. Over the years the media has portrayed your country in a pretty bad way but from what I have been told it is rapidly developing into a very modernised country with a hugely diverse culture.

Coupled with the history of India it sounds like a fascinating place.

What you people did invent is boredom. I will give you credit where credit is due.

And British humor, because normal one got too mainstream I guess.

In Scotland it's mostly just chips... and battered stuff

Deep fried Mars Bars and other chocolates, washed down with Iron Bru or Buckfast Abbey Mead


Here in Spain there are plenty ex-pat places doing British food ( especially breakfasts ), Benidorm is a fine example of that.

Dubai I really enjoy the wide variation of cuisines out there, a real eclectic mix of foods.

I could live on curries

Fellow Albanian here,

I've also lived in the UK for a couple years and can confirm that there's no true British restaurants in my country.
Some of them try to put a British theme to the place but the food is pretty much the same as any other place.

Our own cuisine is pretty amazing. Would not recommend it for people with high cholesterol though lol.

Never found anywhere in spain that can do true British food though. It's all about availability of ingredients which just don't seem the same in spain.

Maybe I've just visited the wrong parts though, never been to benidorm.

What is typical Albanian cuisine? Never looked at your foods before.

Benidorm is Blackpool in the sun, best avoided.

Down at Gib, you can get proper Full English though.

Lol

I do enjoy British humor. I do not enjoy people trying to own something they never invented.

Next thing you know they'll be saying they invented barbecue and tacos.

Gtfo.

I was thinking a few days ago about the huge selection of restaurants and take aways we have here in the uk, from good old McDs to pizza, Chinese food, Indian, mexican, sushi, noodle bars. You get the picture, basically cuisines from all over the world.

Do you guys from your respective countries have such a diverse range of eateries available? Also do any of you guys have British food available either in restaurants or take away?

I think this is the case in most bigger (multicultural) cities, it doesn't even have to be that big. I live in a Central European city with the population of 145k (+20k university students), we have all what you mentioned and then some, kebab/gyros overload. lol

No British food here, but in the capital city you can eat fish and chips, maybe you shouldn't though.

This was the reason for my original post. Whilst other cuisines have made their mark internationally, British food remains almost exclusively for British people here in the uk.

Is that good or bad? IDK but I will obviously prefer my homelands food and often wonder why it doesn't make the same impact worldwide as other countries dishes.

Maybe I'm just a little too biased.

You are.

Maybe your food is gross and uneventful. I don't see any other culture complaining they can't find their food in other first world countries.

Including American food. And that is the worst food on the planet.

We did technically as we sent out criminals to oz lol!

Telling the truth, i don't know too many things about the British cuisine, so i wouldn't even know what to look for. This is kinda odd, because the two most famous celebrity chefs are both British.
Fish and chips, ham and eggs and that's the British cuisine for me pretty much. Oh, and another thing: you put milk in your tea, which was a shocker for me in elementary school, when the English teacher served some tea.

My god @alwaysinvisible that forked tongue of yours is starting to sting a bit.

No complaints from me, just plain curiosity as I haven't travelled the world very much and I doubt I will get to see as much of it as I wanted to back when I was in my 20s. With the Internet these days it's easy to gather information about other countries and cultures from the comfort of your home, no substitute for the real thing though.

You were not the first people to cook food over a fire, and your criminals did not invent tortilla shells.

The first tortillas were discovered in 10,000BC. They were made by Mayans. You know, the people who practically invented corn. The Spanish named them tortillas bc they couldn't pronounce the original name.

You invented Spain too, though, right? And the Spanish language.

Oh and the human race. Let's not forget that.

My god @alwaysinvisible that forked tongue of yours is starting to sting a bit.

You'll live.

Most well known British classics are very simple basic meals. Fish and chips, roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, full English breakfast, Cornish pasties, bangers and mash and the good old classic steak and kidney pie.

Before @alwaysinvisible gives me another tongue lashing I'd like to say I'm not suggesting we invented all of these but they are considered typical British foods!

Lol! That was just some British humour, don't take life quite so seriously

And they all sound extremely boring, uneventful and British.

That is why you can't find most of this stuff outside of Britain.

Like I said, you people invented boredom. The names of your food are making me sleepy. If you read a British menu to me I'd be passed out before you finished the appetizers.

Lol! That was just some British humour, don't take life quite so seriously

How droll.

Well there are a few million people who would disagree. I am interested in why you believe they sound boring just because they're British?

Do you have a problem with us brits or anything to do with our way of life, because so far all of your posts in this thread have been negative about everything British.

I'm not necessarily a proud brit but it is where I'm from and as such I have been brought up on traditional British food.

If we are getting it so badly wrong then please enlighten us as to what you consider to be appealing, appetising sounding foods from your homeland!
