This is a quote from a humorous article in the L.A. Times in answer to a question about English food. What I want to know is, what is considered good, classic, English cuisine, are there any new trends in English cuisine, and what are some good restaurants in London, should I get there one day.

I'm not interested in Indian/Pakistani/Jamaican/other colonies food, which I imagine you have some good examples of, just the native stuff.

Eggs, bacon, beans, chips, sausages and toast available from all good Transport Caf's!

Not sure what is considered quintessentially English...roast beef and yorkshire pudding = yum!

So in other words England has the worst cuisine on the planet.

Like pretty much everything else in English culture these days, the cuisine is a mish-mash of cuisine from everywhere else. Indian food IS English/British food.

Why has everybody forgotten fish & chips?

Last week I ate an Irish/Cajun place in Seattle. It hurt my head in a good way. Not very English, but just imagine the possibilities.

There's a great fondue place in London I discovered this past summer, but damned if I can remember the name.
