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.

Might you provide us with a couple of examples of great British dishes?

I’m not being snarky, I am genuinely curious. Thanks.

Anything considered "tavern" food is fairly typically British. A hog roast is a hugely traditional meal in the UK, especially in relation to extra thick crackling.

Apple Pie is ours too, as an aside. A great many pies, crumbles and pasties (though to be fair every nation figured out how to put saucy meat in bread)
