      Good morning from London, the myth regarding British food being bland & tasteless goes back to the second world war where a British soldiers rations were very bland and tasteless because this was the best way to preserve the food.
      The reality is British food is incredible and is a staple for the western world like the English breakfast and the English roast dinner including the great English pie, the great English sausage & much more 🇬🇧👍⚔️

    Nope, not everybody thinks London Bridge is Tower Bridge - but for some reason, every American thinks it is. So much so, that 45 yrs ago an American businessman bought the (very ordinary and worn out) prior London Bridge and shipped it back home. He was said to be somewhat disappionted with his purchase! I believe he reassembled it somewhere in the Arizona desert........

    The meme of bad/bland English food started to become a redundant starting in the 1980s.
    Yes, it was true right the way through the 1970s, but to say that the British adopted foreign cuisine is an understatement. I haven't been to many places that can compete with London and the other big cities, on sheer variety. The standard has also been raised, along with expectations, to the point where London is just about the best place on Earth to find top rated dining.
    It's refreshing to see tourists like yourself discovering that fact.
    Just like we took music from around the World, and combined it into a unique "British Invasion" sound (Through 60s pop, 70s rock, Punk, 2-Tone, Electronic) , I think we've done the same with food.

      @@John76125 Sounds as if you like to stereotype yourself. Perhaps the learning should be done by you.

      People who say British food is bland also think the Indian or Chinese food they eat is authentic to those countries! However it's as British as gammon and egg 😂😂

    I remember well the best burger I`ve ever had. That was also in London at Camden Market 45 years ago. It was chopped sirloin and cost a fortune back then...£3.50.

    Don't feel guilty about eating what you fancy whilst on holiday. You can't be on a diet when on holiday. Lovely video, lovely couple.
