Basically, anyplace that sells boiled potatoes and overcooked vegetables is an English resteraunt, IMHO.


LOL. This is why I always look forward to my trips abroad. PROPER food!

We have Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Italian, German, Mexican and other ethnic food style eateries in thr USA but I have never seen an English, Scottish, Welch or Irish restaurant. I think American style cooking and meal selections are not much like what is eaten in those places so I wonder why no one specializes, other than some fish & chips places, in English food? I also rule out Irish and Scottish Pubs as they are primarily drinking establishments.


If you ever make your way up here to Northern Idaho, check out Eichardts Pub. The owner started it after spending 14 years in England and Australia. Great place.

I don't think English people actually eat English Breakfast! Certainly not the black pudding :yuck:

Maybe it's just me who doesn't have time for an English breakfast in the mornings?!

I'm only part English, so what do I know?

It's mostly eggs and sausage here, or sometimes pancakes....

With coffee of course.

OK, so this is about Ms Merkel and DC, but I couldn't resist when seeing the name of the establishment.
