Brit here, lived abroad in different countries, including France, imported a Frenchman as husband. This subject comes up a lot. Best British strength, I think, is open-mindedness towards other ways. Combine that with travelling  observation (second only to the Dutch in my opinion) plus an indubitable instinct for business, and the result is pretty much every nationality food represented in the UK. Anything you can think of, you can find here. Much of it provided by 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation Brits from a culture originating elsewhere that is maintained and merged, because it’s valuable, and it’s allowed, and it’s appreciated. 

Traditional dishes have been reworked and improved thanks to learning techniques from other places. Much has been forgotten, it’s true, delving into recipes from the Middle Ages, you see valuable insights lost in time. 

But these days, of course there are some rubbish establishments that serve frozen bollocks. There are establishments like that everywhere. Generally though, you’re alright, wherever you go.
