Actually, long before France was known for cooking, the best came to
England to learn. Queen Elizabeth I times aall nd I think, her Father's
time as well?

English quisine is the quintessential of simplicity with basics well
made. It is now quite different in some ways due to embracing influx
of others, but the old dishes still shine. Cottage pie didnt go away
when lentil curry came on the menu.

Yes, the old dishes are still made and appreciated, but, so many other
cuisines are prevalent now and there are many choices, which is a Good
Thing

Way back in the day, I lived in Malta for 4 years (courtesy of the military)
and I was immersed in Maltese and Italian cooking. I loved it all)

You are right though, our basic cooking is very good.
