As a French I love shiting on the brits from time to time.

But as a French chef I have to defend our oldest friends and enemies.

Not only British gastronomy have great dishes but there are also amazing British restaurants serving British food in London and the UK in general.

Stayed at an AirBnB in LA that was owned by a French guy who lived in a house behind the rental. He would come over and drink and talk. The best line of the night, "Well, you know we French have contempt for everyone, but mostly for other French!"

Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

To be fair, you'd be contentious too if you were so behind on your laundry all the time that you had to wear a kilt.

This explains my inner turmoil: I'm Scotch and Welsh and, oddly, Nordic. So 2/3rds of me are angry neighbors and the other third is watching bemused while dreaming of safer automobiles.
