I’ll be honest with you: whenever I think of British food, I don’t exactly get the same feeling as when someone mentions other global cuisines. Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, Cuban—these all make me think of specific foods and feelings, and British food just doesn’t have the same ring to it (if I have any British readers, please don’t get mad at me!).
But there are actually so many really good British Recipes that you have to try as we tour around the world with food. Check some of these out!
