I'm wondering when you went to England if these are the only places you visited - a bit like some Americans on an international course a few years ago who asked "do they have orange juice in Europe?" or another who would only visit Macdonalds as they travelled round Europe as they were so afraid of different foods. England leads the way in organic food and restaurants, and is immensely creative in assimilating international food as well as coming back to their own style (just watch people like Rick Stein). Travelling round England is a delight in the food offered - if you bother to actually do this, and don't just end up in the above places. And for fish and chips - just try wonderful places along the Suffolk coast. From comparing France and England, I would say England leads the way now.
