Do any other nations 'go for an English?'

[Elite]

We have a variety of other nationalities restaurants in this country but I do wonder if our national cuisine is appreciated by other countries.

So are there any English restaurants in other countries (discounting the places that cater for all the English tourists).

There was a sketch about this on Goodness Gracious Me years ago. Can't look for it now as I'm on my phone.

Was going to say the exact same thing. They kept pronouncing the waiter's name differently every time they called him.

That's what inspired my post! Just had an Indian and it sprang to mind.

Cant imagine a chinese family tucking into a cottage pie for some reason

[Mook]

I once deep fried a Yorkshire pudding if that counts.

High Tea in the (Dutch owned) English pub near me is pretty popular. It's 20 euros per head for tea, sandwiches and cake. There is a luxury version with unlimited tea for 24 euros.

Wonder if any Indians go for an English, get pissed, rowdy, call the waiters Pakis then spew up in the bogs?

[setreal]

Do Irish pubs count?

Slightly off the thread subject but I have noticed that when in hotels abroad our German cousins ignore their own breakfast foods and almost to a man they wallop the 'English ' breakfast options.

there is a franchise opening in India about English cuisine. hotpot, brekafast, pies etc

[Adebisi]

They love our grub! Why else would it be in all their menus?

My brother is terrified of foreign cuisine. He's never even looked at a Chinese and if he's ever in a situation where he has to have something from an Indian, it's naan bread and chips. It really is bizarre.

Tell them that it's "luxury" not "luxery", and ask them what the fuck a quiche is doing on a menu that's all about 'English tradition'.

Are they calling us puffs?

I didn't even go in there when I was seeing the cook and knew the girl behind the bar. Free food and drink was not enough to put up with snobby Dutch people and the kind of people that call themselves expats.

I read a book by John Simpson in which he said that whenever he goes to Iran, he enjoys something called "English cake" which you can't get in any other country.

I live in North Yorkshire now. There's always loads of Chinese tourists in York and they're mad for chips, peas and gravy. Sunday roasts, too.

After more than a decade living in Greater London, living here feels like paradise.

[littletedwest]

Feel your pain about London. It's shit.

[Tony Moanero]

London has loads to offer, obviously. History, culture, architecture, shopping, arts and entertainment and more boss places to eat than you can shake a stick at. The Underground

is ace, though it's murder during rush hour. However, London's just not for me. I'm a humble sort of fella who just likes what he likes and London is too much for me.

[Geoff Woade]

London is shit. It's ghastly and the people there think the north is some undiscovered land that their taxes pour in to. The rent on a three bed bed semi is about 3 grand a month with the irony being I wouldn't live there if you paid me that. Alan Partridge called it exactly right "you'll either be disappointed or stabbed". Whenever I've had the misfortune of having to go there my first thought is always 'you cheeky bastards slagging off the north, this looks like some sort of end of world virus hit on my way down.
