The DU Lounge

top several food cities on the planet.

The 'Britain has mostly shit food' trope (even including London, where I grew up) is so dated and so inaccurate now, especially amongst Americans, who seem (to me, based on my own experiences) to be the most misinformed (and vocal, which is hardly a shock) in terms of still pushing it. Many Americans have never even been to the UK yet cling to same old tropes and stereotypes, some quite aggressively (again, hardly a shock, at least for me).

Sure, you can find absolutely shite food in the UK, but that is true of any and all countries, especially with the rise of dodgy (and often semi or fully globalised) chains over the past multiple decades.
