British Cuisine
Топик Британская кухня рассказывает об английской еде, которую многие иностранцы считают слишком простой и безвкусной. Британцы не привыкли к сложным соусам и многочисленным приправам, для них привычнее подать блюдо “без изысков”, чтобы подчеркнуть вкус самого продукта. Настоящая английская еда готовится дома, а не в ресторанах. Многие считают, что понятия “английская кухня” – вообще не существует, но это ошибочный вывод.
Some people criticize English food. They say it’s unimaginable,
If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say “fish and chips” then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn’t lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to find a good English restaurant with a reasonable prices.
In most cities in Britain you’ll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you’ll also find Indonesian, Mexican, Greek… Cynics will say that this is because English have no “cuisine” themselves, but this is not quite the true.
