English food is actually pretty good. I liked eating it everyday when I stayed over there. Of course I did also have the occasional chicken tikka masala while I was there as a break from the norm
It's difficult to get a good meal in a restaurant. I found that puzzling because every possible ingredient is available in the grocery stores.
When I started to be invited to people's homes for meals, I can tell you, there are some fabulous cooks in Britain.
I found a couple of excellent restaurants, but you have to know someone who tips you off to where they are located. Randomly chosen restaurants are often disappointing. Although, we walked into a fabulous Indian restaurant in a little village on Loch Ness. Good enough that we made a special trip to eat there again.
Scotts and English can really cook some good food. I am puzzled why so many restaurants are worse than mediocre.
I think there's a bit of a renaissance with English cookery. And it isn't all bad. There's something about a good Sunday roast, fish'n'chips by the beach, a hearty Yorkshire pud, bangers'n'mash, an eel pie...
I've usually had excellent food in England. Small, out of the way places that the natives know about or home cooked meals. But in the chains it's a different world, just like in the US--yuck.
If there's anything better than Yorkshire pudding, I'd like to know what it is!

Chicken tikka massala was conceived in England I believe.
Its just a 'stereotype' it makes no difference whether there is any truth in it or not whatsoever, even if British food was the best food for 100 years people will still say 'British food is bad', You would think that this site would help to dispel stereotypical myths but actually it just reenforces them, there are hundreds of people on here stating stereotypical views as 'facts' (usually without even ever visiting the countries they think they are 'experts' on) and often will even argue over stereotypical views with locals of the countries in question that actually know the truth of the matter.
