And it is wrong and I don't understand why. There are lots of good British dishes, fro Haggis, which made properly is nice, to Lancashire Hotpot, toad in the hole. A good British casserole. I could go on.

Personally although I know that proper French cooking, and I mean the country stuff is really good and similar to British country fare, the stuff we see over here is the nouvelle cuisine crap with a small piece of food covered in a sauce and a couple of twigs of lettuce.

I have heard French complain that our food isn't fancy, with different sauces etc. Well as I read once, UK food didn't have to have fancy sauces because the natural ingredients - meat, vegetables etc - due to our climate and soil were so good. Unlike their stuff. So come to the UK and I'll show you some good UK food.
Home cooked is good everywhere I ment the industrial and fast food, that to my understanding has a bigger role in UK than elsewhere in Europe.
Too fancy food is to me like playing with food, not good.
