English food tends to be better at home than at restaurants. Also, it tends to mostly be undefined brown lumps but it does have flavor and there are some spices. (mostly mustard)

The exception is "Chinese takeaway", which is actually as bad as the stereotype.


Well there is a growing Indian population so that might skew the statistics on home cooking lol.

Anecdotally, by far the worst home cooking I’ve had was at the hands of a British couple; tasted like simmered dish water.

There's actually an Orwell essay about this.

The thing I find odd about British restaurants is that all the Japanese chains (Wagamama, Itsu) have names that are so dumb it's like they're actively trying to be offensive.
