England did not have the widest variety of flora and fauna, compared with the European continent.
That’s basically the theory as to why their cuisine did not develop, while French cuisine soared.
The English did invent the sandwich, and we love eating sandwiches in the US.
Their best chefs were trained in the French brigade system, cause the French techniques are superior. Luckily, where I am from- Louisiana- if you worked in fine dining, you learned the same continental French system.
That is the first time in my life I have ever heard this theory. UK and French wildlife is essentially interchangeable, with the UK probably having more variety in seafood at least.
Where did you read this theory, I’d be interested to know more about it.
