I have accumulated 10-12 weeks total time in the U.K. over the last 25 years. I can recall one bad meal (in an Indian restaurant in Cambridge.) From fish-and-chips take-out locations in London to high end restaurants in Bath or Chichester or Seven Oaks or London, all the rest have been good to great meals. By contrast, in one week in France a few years ago, the only palatable meal I had was a breakfast at a country inn. The dinner highlight was a McDonalds in Paris, and I don't even eat at McDonalds here!

well said, Stan! Anybody would be hard pushed to find anywhere a greater variety of very high quality eateries than we have in the UK. And our own regional food is making something of a comeback, too, so it's not just the 'end of Empire' dividend.
French wine is still the best, though; here we send all our grapes north to Scotland where they make whiskey out of them <g>.
