Meh, no reason to get didactic. From across the pond, my view is simply this: why worry about the food in England when the ale on tap is top shelf stuff?
I've never liked beer, so I can't rave about how wonderful British beer is. I'm aware that a lot of Brits who are into beer think that run of the mill American beer (Bud, Coors, Pabst, etc) is crap, but I suspect that's mainly due to many Brits preferring beer that's much more strongly flavoured.
Well, I formed my opinion on a trip to London and Southeastern England about 15 years ago. We were eating at the pub near the B&B. First night, had fish and chips with an Ale. Second night, I had an ale with fish and chips. Third night, I had fish and chips with a dark ale. By then, it was pretty clear that the ale was the culinary highlight of London. And since then, I have always ordered the British beer on tap whenever eating at a British Isles or Irish themed restaurant here in the states. It's bloody good shit.
What is your opinion on the British?
