    The pie and mash at the start really sums up British food and why it’s good. People say it’s dull and bland, but you’re stood there, it’s cold and wet, and you have a steaming forkful of hot beef pie and potato, with gravy.

    You say it's touristy but as someone who's lived in London for 12 years now, Londoners definitely also go to Borough, it's so so good. Also it was probably a good thing that you went on a grim grey day, sometimes it's so busy it's just no fun. If you come back Spitalfields also has a brilliant food market, and you can walk to Brick Lane from there (which I've seen other people have already recommended).

Big chunks of lamb with gravy in a suet pudding. In winter it’s perfect food. In the uk we maybe aren’t known for our food but we do cook hearty winter food. Get a good meat broth! Also try our deserts! We do cake and pudding well here

    When it is safe to do so, you should do a whole UK Tour, you can get trains from different london stations to basically anywhere in the UK, Including a Link from London Euston to Glasgow in Scotland, or Euston to Holyhead in Wales, or London Paddington to St Ives in Cornwall. On the trains you get to most places in the UK 😍

Say what you like about stodgy traditional British dishes (glad to see you tried salt-beef, aaah it' so good!), the sheer variety and excellence on offer in London is what makes it so special. Try a Bakewell Tart if you see one. They're my favourite ^_^

      @@yasmin935 too bad you don't know the difference between "assimilation" and "being assimilated". Britain is an assimilator, taking influence from all over the world and yet, somehow, also making it uniquely british. The most obvious example, of course, being tea. A product that the entire world now tends to associate more with the British culture than any of the countries it is actually grown in. Your ignorance is frankly astonishing, given that one of the things that make the English language pretty much the de facto lingua franca of the world is that is so easily and seamlessly assimilates words from other languages wherever the concept is unique - as just demonstrated with "de facto" and "lingua franca". Meanwhile France has argued over whether "weekend" should be struck from their language... Travel more and read more widely, and next time you might be able to say something intelligent, and based on reality, rather than provincial racism.
