Believe me, it was quite worrying to learn myself.

British food tends to be either extremely bland or you know about certain specialties. Fish and chips, for example, is our most famous. Very simple dish, but it's practically a staple. Tea is also very important to our culture. Every day, we spare maybe an hour or so in the afternoon for a tea break. We tend to have it with snacks that pair well with whatever tea we brewed.

I'm not entirely certain where the trend towards bland food began, though, but I can certainly say that whoever thinks food is 'healthier' without flavour is full of it.

fish and chips! i recognize that one. it's good!!

there is so much fried food here. i will never get sick of it. every time i think i've seen everything, someone deep fries something else crazy like an ice cream sandwich or a car

i like tea a lot so that all sounds perfect to me. chai is something i grew up with as a comfort food, and i know you have that here, so.

you're right. if you're not using salt you have to cook it in a certain way to bring out the natural flavor in something

It really is quite novel just how much Americans will fry things here! I must say, I was quite taken with their version of fried chicken.

Oh, I love chai! I'm partial to warm spices, so naturally I would love a tea with those flavours. I'd be interested to see your take on a chai tea!

It's why my mum took great pains to teach me to cook, honestly. My da's version of cooking meat was to simply boil it and thought that was how you did it.

fried chicken is amazing here. even better with a lot of spices in it though!

If you haven't tried Cajun seasoning mixed with the flour, I recommend it!

[Louisiana-style cooking is a worthy death for this Brit.]

She did marry him, on the condition he never cooked again, haha! I'm forever grateful for her being the one to teach me.
