English introduction to western food culture should not be too long.

When most people think of English food, the words they use to describe it are usually unpleasant. However, most people will be surprised to find that British food is getting better and better. The dishes are not just fish and chips. Many other cultures and cooking are having a better influence on British cooking, and even classic English dishes such as shepherd's pie, bubbles and squeaks are being transformed.

The most popular dish in Britain today is chicken. Although it sounds like an authentic Indian dish, it was actually invented in Britain inspired by Indian food. In fact, this dish is now regarded as a more typical Indian dish than tandoori chicken, and its popularity has far exceeded the border of England. During my trip to London last summer, I noticed that garfinkel restaurant had not only this dish on its menu, but also fish and chips, pasta and American hamburgers.

Of course, Britain, like other countries in the world, also experienced the invasion of American fast food. But fast food can also be Chinese, Indian, pizza and Turkish. In addition, you can eat fast food at "chippy" (fish and chips shop) and buy some light English food, such as pies and pies (steak and kidney). Some take-away places can have a variety of cuisines in one place. For example, in Bath, I noticed that a fish and chips shop also had Chinese takeout.

With the popularity of famous British chefs such as jamie oliver, nigel lawson and Gordon Ramsay, people's stereotype that English food is only light barbecue and vegetables has gradually disappeared. They are well-known brands abroad and have begun to bring a better reputation to British food. They educate people to cook food with very fresh and high-quality local raw materials. These chefs also like to make traditional English food by adding herbs and spices that are not available in Britain.

Modern England also has a high concentration of vegetarians. Grocery stores and restaurants are very suitable for vegetarians, so if you are a vegetarian tourist traveling in Britain, you can eat almost anywhere without worrying.

If you still have doubts about eating English food, try a traditional English breakfast. Many hotels offer it, and any restaurant that serves breakfast usually provides it. Although it is no longer the staple food of British families, it is still very popular with tourists. Breakfast usually includes fried bacon and eggs, toast, sausage, fried or baked tomatoes, fried mushrooms, baked beans, and maybe black pudding (blood sausage). Although I have never had enough courage to try black pudding, I usually think other elements of English breakfast are great and full. Also worth trying are sticky toffee pudding, Cornwall pie, shepherd/farmer pie, sausage and mashed potatoes (sausage with mashed potatoes). Of course, try the chicken Tikamsala.
