This counts for americans as well. Except that it's more than "quite a few" over there. In fact it counts for almost all countries [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Yes but we are talking about Britian. And America does have reason to be. Well I guess no one really has a reason to be. But name another country that has raised to such prosperity in 200 years.

I know you're not serious now ! Tell me your favourite German dish, and don't give me that sauerkraut crap.

If you ask me, we English did pretty well to come up with ANY national meal, given the fact that we seem to have... well, nothing actually tasty growing in England.

Tomatoes? No. Grapes? Nope. Potatoes? Not even them. Oranges? We wish. The list goes on. We just had to ea lots of different types of meat with bread and cabbage and stuff.

All you other 'gourmet' countries out there count your lucky stars, because remember - but for a quirk of geography, it could have been YOU.
