Franglais:
According to that true Brit paper The Sun…our most popular UK meal is spaghetti Bolognese, 2nd pizza, roast is high up, also fish and chips, (thanks to the Portuguese and Belgians for that). Curry and stir fry also make the top twenty.
Surely the strength of UK culture is not ignoring anything new and foreign but adapting and using it.
No one has siestas here maybe, But some have an afternoon nap.
Ironically the best Schnitzel is done by Italian restaurants here and on the continent usually after a good sized portion of spaghetti and clams for starters.Would I trade that for Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding and veg no.But a good second just like Dortmunder Pils or Hofbrau as opposed to Fullers ESB or Youngs Special.As for steak and chips with mushroom sauce again forget the French muck the Swiss do that best.While the best thing that ever happened to French cuisine was McDonalds as you’d know if you’ve seen the queues there to get one at most times of the day.
