John Torode their finest chef had to come to the UK to learn to cook
Are you refering to the Roman empire?
" Did Ancient Rome have any restaurants?"
"It did! These were called thermopolia, and they were ancient Roman businesses that served the public both hot and cold food, "
Did Ancient Rome have any restaurants? Places where people would sit and order food and socialize? If not, then when did restaurants become the norm? : AskHistorians
IMO what the British do was import Indian cuisine to Europe they did not invent it and as such is not English food.
Oh , also
"According to Elliott Shore and Katie Rawson, co-authors of Dining Out: A Global History of Restaurants, the very first establishments that were easily recognizable as restaurants popped up around 1100 A.D. in China "
When Did People Start Eating in Restaurants? - HISTORY
And let's not forget France where the word reasturant originated
"The word restaurant comes from the French verb restaurer, “to restore oneself,” and the first true French restaurants, opened decades before the 1789 Revolution, purported to be health-food shops selling one principle dish: bouillon. The French description for this type of slow-simmered bone broth or consommé is a bouillon restaurant or “restorative broth.” "
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
The you lot covers a heap of countries, I support anyone playing England but who wouldn't? The laughs when you lot get continuously dumped on your arses after such high expectations (for reasons unknown) is always priceless. #ohengland #itscominghome
Of course there's an unparallelled range of cuisines because there's an unparalleled range of immigrants there in case you hadn't noticed, and it's not like they're going to eat the same shit you Poms do. No way Muhammed with his 5 wives and 8 kids from Somalia or Cola from Nigeria with his tribe in tow will be hitting the local 'Spoons for a fucking fry-up is there you idiot.
'Cause there's not many Aussies there to cater to might be your first clue. It's not like Australians have a long history of boarding a ship or plane in search of a better life in another country (often sight-unseen) like you lot are so famous for is it. That's why you can find typical English fare pretty much anywhere in the world, there's not many places Poms haven't set up tent escaping the very same shithole they'll defend as being paradise in threads like this

There are fucking loads of them and almost any young Aussie's dream is to escape the culture-void that is Australia and fly to Europe (with London at the very top of the list) to experience some real culture ASAP. Try Earls Court on any weekend at about 4pm to see hundreds falling about, being annoying cnuts, cos they can't handle a proper pint of beer compared to the piss they usually drink at home.
