Any foreign food is OK if you're in "foreign-land" at the time.
In the UK fish and chips, or roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, made and eaten at home, beat the lot.

Have to agree.Foreign food is ok for something different or a change.But traditional British home cooked food is the best in the world.I've worked all over the world and the thing i missed most was a proper roast dinner mmmmm data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

I've posted my thoughts on roast dinners on here before, I call them a 'plate of bland'.
And I don't believe it's anything to do with the cooks, they can't all have been bad, professional or amateur.
It's intrinsic to the meal.
In a world of tastes, I can only think nostalgia makes people want a roast dinner.
I doubt I'll ever have one again, and I won't miss them.

Bland? you've obviously never had a 'proper' roast.The smell alone of a roast cooking is the best food smell ever.My gravy is so tasty that i often cook up another batch of yorkshire's just to dip in the gravy,Food heaven data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Get yourself down to Granada mate. There are still loads of places that do FREE (YES FREE) tapas with your drink. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Having said that, I think Seville serves up the best tapa experience.

Roasts are the bulk of your daily calories in one meal. Nothing wrong with that if they're a treat but I don't think it's fair to label a roast the epitome of British cuisine.

No, I believe I have.
After all, I live where some of the best beef comes from, so it would be foolish to think it can't be well prepared up here.
I don't think any preparation is to blame for me thinking roasts are bland.
But some people like bland stuff, like mild cheddar.
Pointless to me, but there you go!
