British Food

One of the most noticeable aspects of our British visit was that the food was really excellent.  No more the warmed-over gray goo that was the norm of our youth.  Back then food was not normally available at pubs, but with the closing of so many, the ones to survive do so by providing food.  And this is really good.

Fish and Chips - still a favorite in the UK, but best bought at a fish and chip shop.

Perhaps the changes started slowly with more and more ethnic food merging into standard British fare.  It began with Chinese restaurants in the late fifties, then with Indian becoming popular in the sixties.  Today there are all kinds of ethnic foods available in the cities and also slowly opening in the smaller towns. 
In the eight days we were there we never had a bad experience.  But take plenty of money as it's not cheap!
