Did a small group trip to England 30 years ago. One of the guys insisted we try fish n chips n mushy peas. The fish n chips came wrapped in newspaper. There was so much oil in it that it spilled out everywhere and got onto everything. It was horrible. He was in heaven. Just when I thought I had tasted hell, I tried the mushy peas. They tasted just like ipicac and had the same results. All of us were lined up outside ralphing.
I never had a good meal in England, China, or India. I think you have to be drunk to enjoy their food.
There are amazing dishes throughout Europe, but the best is Italy - the Italians don't know how to make a bad dish!
