Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. I can't think of a single item of French cuisine I would choose over Chicken Tikka Masala.
The best restaurants I've ever been to have been in London. But, then, they rarely serve "traditional" English food. Dollar for dollar, the food in London is better than the food in Paris.
Outside of London - sorry, I agree with the map. English cuisine has a few of things they do better than anyone else, but the meals have not impressed me. I can't speak for the rest of the UK; I haven't visited Scotland or Ireland, and only drove a few miles in Wales by accident.
However. I will fight anyone for a Cornish pasty. I don't know where they were invented, but like all great foods they're both delicious and made with, like, 6 ingredients.
My credentials include more than a single trip. I've had 4 vacations in France, and 2 years lived for 2 weeks every other month in Paris. I've had two vacations in England, and lived for 1-2 weeks every month in London, again for two years running. I have a great amount of experience with restaurants at all price ranges in both cities, and a reasonable exposure to cuisine outside of the capitals.
I agree. But we donβt get recognised. I couldnβt be more amused.
I'm amused too, I just felt the need to point that out.
I love your pubs and have found the food enjoyable in my limited experience. I will say I don't understand Kickey Ball were the guys run around and never kick the ball into the Giant barn door sized goal... But it's vastly superior to the American version which leads to irreversible brain damage.
