Hmm i disagree Mezz, the reason being because i haven’t tasted anything like the fruits and salads and vegetables like Australia, here they taste so disappointing.. including ‘organic’.
Believe it or not even salad, ie lettuce, cucumber, Peppers(Capsicum) carrot, beetroots, are supposed to be bursting with flavour and i seriously mean BURSTING! And you actually craave to eat it! The same goes for fruits too apples, pears etc.. I tried every brand of healthy foods in the first year that i’d been living here and nothing compared, also in englamnd and wales as i moved around a fair bit.
Also, without wanting it to turn in to a long rant, the chips tatse so much better back home, which is due to the potatoes, in fact jacket potatoes were also scrumptious, here i found them bland…
Yous may or may not? be thinking that to you they taste good.. but if you could have the real thing in front of you, you would notice the extreme difference for sure.

Good point! everything taste like its wrapped in plastic here.
On that note, in Amsterdam i found their quality of food everywhere cafes & restaurants impeccable! Their food actually tastes as though they take great care and pride in making it a meal you woin’t forget in a hurry.
Here they just zap it in the microwave whack it on the plate, plus still serve some foods that look like it shoulda been thrown out 2 days ago:yakk:

There is plenty of good food and recipes here in the UK, both from traditional native cuisine and and more recent multicultural influences. the bigger problem is changes in society. Eating is generally a family/community/tribal activity in mammals and primates (even cats in a household who jealously guard their individual territories often eat together) but changes in modern Britain have reduced the importance of community and family especially in big city areas – also time pressures mean that folk have less time to eat, let alone cook (hence fast food/horseburgers etc.) In smaller towns more influenced by rural culture with a slower pace of life there is still good food to be found.

Can’t argue with that mate, and that would also explain why them old country pubs do the nicest food too!
