How come it is so difficult to find English food in England? In France you eat 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, Swiss, 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 and pizza are booming. Why has this happened? What is wrong with the cooks of Britain that they prefer cooking pasta to potatoes? Why do they now like cooking in wine and olive oil? But perhaps it is a good thing. After all, this is the 21st 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? The answer is "No". To understand this, we have to go back to before World War II.
The British have 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. Another important influence was the weather. The British rain gives them rich soil and green grass. It means that they are able to produce some of the finest varieties of meat, fruit and vegetables.
However, World War II changed everything. Wartime women had to forget 600 years of British cooking, learn to do without foreign imports and ration their use of home-grown food.
The Ministry of Food published cheap, boring recipes. Britain never managed to recover from the wartime attitude to food. They were left with a loss of confidence in their cooking skills and after years of Ministry recipes they began to believe that British food was boring, and they searched the world for new dishes. The British people became tourists at their own dining tables and in the restaurants of their land! This is a tragedy! Surely food is as much as a part of their culture as their landscape, their language, and their literature. Nowadays, cooking British food is like speaking a dead language.
However, there is still one small ray of hope. British pubs are often the best places to eat well and cheaply in Britain, and they also increasingly try to serve tasty British food.
