I was in London for a couple of days, Ate at a hotel, a couple cafes, two pubs, a chip shop with one hell of a line. I must have missed something; flavors were low-key, under-seasoned, and under-spiced. The closest thing I got to flavor was breakfast; the sausage was decent, I think you fully understand sausage there. The beans and eggs were just kinda meh.
Then you have places like this catering to local tastes. https://www.oldelpaso.co.uk/products/extra-mild-super-tasty-fajita-kit
I think things are changing. People are starting to crave a little more spice. There's no lack of curry shops with plenty of spice, but they're not strictly British food.
Brits love spice. I think you just were very unlucky or choose the cheap slop.
explain the old elpaso then ;)
Cheap slop?
They test-marketed mild. It failed for being perceived as too spicy.
Chip shops in London are always shit, I'll grant you that. It's rare you get good fish and chips outside of seaside towns.
As for Brits not liking spice... Lmao. Brits like spice more than anywhere else in Europe, how else would Indian food be so popular there?
A good chippy is non-negotiable in a northern town. Dunno why but Londoners can’t even seem to get the basics like skinning and boning the fish, never mind getting the batter crispy and not wet.
