I sense my UK brethren are gonna be up in arms about this but frankly I agree.

The issue isn't that good food doesn't exist in the UK. Of course it does. And good food culture exists too of course, if you look for it.

The issue is that - historically and in a general culture sense -brits are ANTI food culture. Like we are collectively embarrassed about good food.

We are probably the only country in the world where you take something nice and homemade into the office and someone calls you a tosser for it. Like la di da, look at Mr fancy pants over here with his sourdough bread.

Yeah, people really get like this. I've stopped talking about what I make for lunch because I'm tired of being called a wanker because my lunch isn't a 3 microwave ready meal from tescos.

Kind of, yeah.

If you like anything beyond basic in a lot of categories, expect to be deemed posh or pretentious. Like people are proud of eating/watching/listening to junk and view anything else with suspicion (and/or as a sign of being gay).

The French have more sense.
