		TorKlingberg on July 11, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How we're scammed into eating phony food I came across a great article from 1946 by George Orwell, where he both explains the problems of British food, and comes to its defence: http://theorwellprize.co.uk/george-orwell/by-orwell/essays-a... I think I blame the British connection for some of the issues with American food: overly sweet, fish without bones, little seafood, etc.

A summary of the problems of British food from 1986 would no longer be applicable. One from 1946, even less so.

True enough — but it explains where British food got its bad reputation from. As it happens, real British food is delicious: savoury, flavourful and just generally wonderful.
