I'm not culinary racist.

I will try all dishes

I know you ain’t a massive fan of your own culture but Britain is literally bursting at the seams with top class produce and traditional dishes

Well you can keep it all except black pudding. Me it's a Pasty got to a good one mind, bloody love them.

As far as people go country folk I've met all over England, Scotland, Wales and  Ireland are all friendly and pretty much the same really except the accents. I'm not a city person so can't speak for city folk.

Cheers Arry

Well said mate, I have pals from all over the British isles.....very, very close pals some of them are too.

My pal from Burnley lives in London but takes his kids up North regular for what he calls “Northern lessons” ! Lol 

Same as me, I pull the kids up if they drop Irish phrases into a sentence ! Haha

Its all a bit of a laugh but it’s important to retain your roots too I believe and I think most blokes have a little bit of that in them.

Your always going to get a total f***ing prat wherever you go but decent lads tend to gravitate to other decent lads.

Anyway, the north’s f***ing freezing and they all dress like it’s 1985 ! Lol

There’s not many towns that have a food associated with them is there.

Obviously Pie & Mash is London and Melton Mowbray has pork pies

As I’ve said, Arbroath has smokies 

anywhere else ?

Do have counties though - Devon clotted cream, cornish pasty and then there's Somerset cider

I'm a bit stuck on this one ,geographically I'm in "the North " but culturally I'm not sure we can even be classed as English 

I'm not sure you can be classed as human to be fair

Now thats a touchy thing "Cornish pasty" they pinched it off Devon. The first records of the Pasty are in Devon. But the Cornish will claim they have cave paintings of them.

No I know Arry but rest of the country believe em to be best, personally actual cornish ones are normally shite. Rather a traditional from the butchers
