London has lots of very good restaurants, although like most cities it's best to do some research. Their are restaurants relating to every type of conceivable culture in London and we do not eat overcooked canned peas.

The Bayou Soul, Camden

Le Boudin Blanc, Mayfair London

I feel like when people say that a city has good food they generally are not referring to high end restaurants like these.

Bayou Soul is just a Cajun restaurant in Camden, hardly high end.

I wouldn't trust the palate/restaurant choices of anyone who can write off a whole city's culinary offerings as bad/gross/disgusting, much less an entire country.

1) When I have several hundred to blow on a meal, I will take your recommendations.

2) If I want to eat Cajun and Creole food, why in God's name would I go to London, UK when I can get far more authentic and better prepared foods in the six parishes that make up Acadiana in Louisiana? It makes NO SENSE to me.

Belgium. They tried to be French, but failed. I had some of the most wretchedly inedible meals of my life in Belgium.

Since I don't like dairy or garlic and my husband doesn't like tomatos/aubergine/olives, and neither of us much care for pork, Italy is probably the worst country for us, culinary-wise. (If you exclude foreign restaurants, which I mainly patronised while there...ate a lot of involtini primavera there lol).
