Always surprises me how many Brits don't like seafood. Strange for an island nation .

Food heaven. Moules frites with a crusty baguette.

Food hell. Will eat most things and can't think of anything off hand.even Brussels sprouts which I disliked with a passion as a kid I now enjoy. Oh just thought of one. Was recently with my wife's family, they where all going crazy over a large bowl of freshly chopped up Durian. Could not for the life of me understand why, smells rank and doesn't taste much better

I always think the same, particularly as there is some spectacular seafood in the UK.

Im blessed with being married to a Japanese girl who loves traditional Japanese cooking. that means fish fish fish fish.

The Japanese are obsessed with seafood.

I could see how you would feel like that. I could quite happily go meat free and just live off seafood.

Generally way overpriced, not creatively cooked, slow, poor service ...most agree.

I'm currently sampling a box of Yorkshire Tea......I prefer Earl Grey as I don't take milk, but I quite like it as long as I dilute it enough. One teabag makes 6 mugs!!!!
