Obviously an emotive topic.

Back to the question.

I would have him cook a British meal of his choice in which _all_
ingredients were sourced within 10 miles of where I was eating. The
place would preferably be Stratford-upon-Avon. Beverage would be real
ale (brewed within 10 miles as well).

Why did you pick Stratford-upon-Avon? Is he from that area - or are

Wikipedia told me he was from (or at least "grew up") the

I would generally push any chef to prepare local food and if that
could be done where said chef spent his/her "formative years," all the
better. (Also, GR often pushes for local ingredients when he is trying
to fix broken restaurants, so I would attempt to bounce that back to
him.)

I am from Los Gatos (San Jose), California, but, after bouncing around
the world a bit, landed in London, UK.

I think his general area should be the Cotswold's in that case.
Stratford-Upon-Avon is too limited.
