The best restaurants in the world are in London. Of course they don't serve English food. The Brits just knew to bring the best stuff home.
I'll remember that when I want to eat a sack of blood or a plate of liver.
You would if it was covered in butter and high fructose corn syrup
stop, my stomach can only get so erect
This is a subjective, but would be pretty universally laughed at in the culinary world especially when compared to France, Italy, Tokyo, or any American city.
restaurants weren’t even prevalent until the early 1900s, way past the introduction of spices.
Outside of London the UK has a very low presence of Michelin rated restaurants compared to Europe, the US, and Japan. Not the best metric, but there’s no reason why Britain’s restaurants, who would stand to benefit from such rating, is being unfairly treated.
Btw I actually like British food, and have spent a lot of time in the UK. Just think your comment is funny, and the upvotes are funnier.
You just tried to slip that in there, hoping we wouldn't notice
I get your point number one, but any American city better restaurants than London? You cannot seriously believe that. Sure, NY, Chicago, etc but common.
They probably mean any large/prominent American city comparable in size to London.
They are still wrong. London is up with the best you will find anywhere in the world. Even a lot of large US cities are a poorer substitute.
I can't make an argument for or against that, because I've never been to London. I was just saying what I thought they meant 😊
It's very, very subjective mate,
is incredibly wrong from the culinary world's point of view, I can assure you
I think DC and LA are about the only two cities in the top 20 worldwide if we're talking culinary excellence
While it's not definitive, this was the easiest list I could find: https://www.farandwide.com/s/cities-michelin-stars-397433fb73604a91
SF and NYC are also in the top 20.
That weirdly applies to museums as well. The best museums in the world are in London. Of course, they don't serve English stuff. The Brits just knew to bring the best stuff home.
Also, what do you call English food in other countries? Prison food.
