The British have good taste in food, shockingly.
U.K. food can be a real hit or miss. Fish ‘n chips is their signature dish, but if you get it at a grimy pub down in Croydon, I can assure you it will taste like soggy, greasy, fishy rubber.

It’s like watching your niece or grandson entertain themselves with something as simple as a rubber ball for hours.
It’s also a reminder that America is awesome, despite what haters say.
