Great British Food?? - some say it is an oxymoron. But not many dispute the opinion that the food here is rather bland: over-boiled vegetables are layed aside roasted meats and tatties - with tomato sauce to add some flavour. Puddings always come swimming in custard. This is the stodgy English food that makes this country famous for its cuisine.
However, in our travels we have enjoyed many a Full English breakfast (although why the word full is in there, I have no idea).
In England there are sixty different religions, and only one sauce.
