IN SEARCH OF GOOD ENGLISH FOOD

How come it is so difficult to find English food in England?
In Greece you eat Greek food, in France French food, in Italy Italian food, but in England, in any
High Street in the land, it is easier to find Indian and Chinese restaurants than English ones. In
London you can eat Thai, Portuguese, Turkish, Lebanese, Russian, Polish, Swiss, Swedish,
Spanish, and Italian—but where are the English restaurants?
It is not only in restaurants that foreign dishes are replacing traditional British food. In every
supermarket, sales of pasta, pizza and poppadoms are booming. Why has this happened?
What is wrong with the cooks of Britain that they prefer cooking pasta to potatoes? Why do the
British choose to eat lasagne instead of shepherd’s pie? Why do they now like cooking in wine
and olive oil? But perhaps it is a good thing. After all, this is the end of the 20th century and we
can get ingredients from all over the world in just a few hours. Anyway, wasn’t English food
always disgusting and tasteless? Wasn’t it always boiled to death and swimming in fat? The
answer to these questions is a resounding ‘No’, but to understand this, we have to go
back to before World War II. The British have in fact always imported food from abroad. From
the time of the Roman invasion foreign trade was a major influence on British cooking. English
kitchens, like the English language, absorbed ingredients from all over the world—chickens,
rabbits, apples, and tea. All of these and more were successfully incorporated into British
dishes. Another important influence on British cooking was of course the weather. The good old
British rain gives us rich soil and green grass, and means that we are able to produce some of
the finest varieties of meat, fruit and vegetables, which don’t need fancy sauces or complicated
recipes to disguise their taste.

1 There are Indian and Chinese restaurants in most towns and cities in England.
2 British supermarkets sell a lot of foreign food.
3 British people still prefer to cook traditional British food in their own homes.
4 The writers think that British food has always been bad.
5 Foreign cooks have always used British ingredients in their cooking.
6 The writers think that the food that is produced in Britain is of high quality.
7 The problem with British food is that it uses complicated recipes.
