Well, British cuisine is fair game.

If you didn't put it on your chips in England, you'd be considered weird :)

Scottish cuisine is pretty good, maybe you meant English...

British cuisine is a strange and wonderful place.

I agree!I'm not sure where you live but in the UK we have something called This Isn't Bacon that I find rather delicious :)

Can confirm, as a Brit, our food is utterly shocking.

Sadly, English style back bacon is really hard to find over here :(

I suspect that you haven't been exposed to the wonders of British train food. Imagine our usual delightful cuisine but significantly worse.
