I've been to the UK and I found out this stereotype/meme is kinda true...

Some foods are a little bland.

We've been completely screwed over by the supermarkets on this one. A lot of our base ingredients are now bland and tasteless. This has had a knock on effect.

Good, traditional English food is far from bland and tasteless.

I was more thinking of a properly made Sheppard's pie, or a beef roast with trimmings.

If you really love our jellied eels though... 🤷‍♂️

I'm fairly sure they only still exist to prank tourists.

Ah yes, the UKs equivalent of the French's escargot (snails)

The only people who eat those are Asian tourists.
