Goodbye roast dinners, shepherd’s pie, and other versions of meat and potatoes
Unappetising, uninspired, flavourless. British food is among the worst in the world. And while our culinary failings are a drum I have banged for years, it seems that my countrymen and women are slowly coming round to my point of view.that consumption of British staple foods has plummeted since the 70s – mutton by 80 per cent, beef by 54 per cent and even potatoes by 62 per cent – in favour of more varied options .
Billed as a way to avoid being distracted by flavour at work – like a bushtucker trial for boredom – one user described their hamas “a lunch of suffering”. Under a photo of processed cheese, ham and crackers, someone on Chinese social media site Weibo wrote that eating such a lunch is to “learn what it feels like to be dead”. Coming from the country that gave the world dim sum, hoisin duck and bao buns, that criticism should give pause to even the most fervent sad-sandwich advocate.
As the backdrop for many of life’s most important moments – weddings, birthdays, long overdue catch-ups, first dates and tense conversations – as well as being intimately connected to our ideas of home, it’s no surprise that food can be an emotive subject. What I’m saying is that food can evoke other emotions besides the confusion and bitterness of traditional British dishes. It doesn’t have to be this way.
