As a child I was forced to eat a lot of Sunday roasts at the grandparents that were bland and anemic and mushy, with veg boiled within an inch of its life, and where the meat was the only good part

And I used to date an Indian lass who was the worst cook I've ever met in my life, the food she made was truly disgusting. But that doesn't mean all Indian food is bad.

I know self-flagelation is a time honoured tradition of ours, but the whole "Britain bad" circlejerk is just getting annoying now.

Yeah I'm getting a bit tired of it myself. It's fun to banter but there's not really much banter left.

Sure, there are always exceptions.

I'm not being self-deprecating for the sake of it - I'm speaking what I feel from personal experience. And on the basis of that experience I would rank the average state of British food well below the average state of food in a pretty wide spread of other places.

And that's what I'm basing it on - averages, not exceptions.
