Agreed. I was amazed to see so many international restaurants in Bath: Turkish, Chinese, Malaysian, Nepali, Egyptian, Morocco, and on and on. And of course the ever present Indian restaurant found in every neighborhood.
Not surprising since the British Empire at one point spanned the globe!
I was in Curaco in the 60s and it was nearly impossible to get anything decent to eat, which I blamed on insularity and need to import everything. Recently, though, my Arabic kiosk in Trinidad has no problem serving awesome dishes.
Ecuador, you cant even get a cuppa coffee. They boil down some thick coffee-based goo and add that to hot water to reconstitute something brown.
I've been all over Latin America trying to find a decent cookie or pastry at confectioners bakeries. They just have no clue. Colombian Arepas are like oversized communion hosts. Colombians rave about them, if you know where to get them. Operative word, "if". You can say the same about American breas.
That is a very strange statement, the UK has a very high percentage of Vegetarians, far higher than USA, it is easy to find vegetarian foods. Unless you are unable to read a menu?
It's not strange. And it's not easy to find healthy, whole vegetarian meals there. A salad and greasy fries or a meal minus the dead animal does not equal a vegetarian meal. The UK has a smaller population compared to the US so while the % may be higher, there are more than double the vegetarians in the US.
That little attempt at an insult just shows how immature you are. Why are you taking my opinion based on my experience so personal?
Left in my Reps. Maybe you should learn how to spell vegetarian.

There are plenty of ethnic restaurants that offer non meat dishes. I recently had a visitor (nonmeat eater) from the UK, & it was hard to find non meat dishes here in California, unless we went to ethnic places ( Indian or Mexican) Run of the mill American cuisine diner types, often do not have anything vegetarian except for an omelette. Last time I visited the Uk, I was impressed at the large selection of vegetarian meals available. The supermarkets also have a really wide variety of plant based foods.
It is not personal. I just think you will have an easier time finding vegetarian foods in the UK, than in many parts of the USA, because the local population will be dining on it, whereas in USA, many vegetarians are looked down on.
I'm going to pile on and say the food in the Philippines was consistantly underwhelming to bad, I usually ended up just ordering adobo or lechon if I could.
The biggest turnaround I've witnessed is Ireland, in past times a cuisine noted for no seasoning, overcooking & boiling any meat. At some point in the past generation or two they became more sophisticated about the great fresh ingredients they have (and more prosperous that they didn't have to export most of them) and younger cooks learned some technique. But the "ethnic" restaurants I've been taken to there, eg., Thai, Indian... were terrible.
Dolphin whatever, is there a difference?
Just the word dolphin was enough to send her bananas.
According to Wiki, mahi-mahi can be a common dolphin fish, or pompano dolphin.
I’m no marine biologist, but that sounds like a dolphin to me.

I don't think anyone has mention Scotland yet?
Again, according to Wiki, Flipper was a TV series about 2 children and their pet dolphin, not porpoise.
