The best restaurants in the world are in London. Of course they don't serve English food. The Brits just knew to bring the best stuff home.

  1. This is a subjective, but would be pretty universally laughed at in the culinary world especially when compared to France, Italy, Tokyo, or any American city.

  2. restaurants weren’t even prevalent until the early 1900s, way past the introduction of spices.

Outside of London the UK has a very low presence of Michelin rated restaurants compared to Europe, the US, and Japan. Not the best metric, but there’s no reason why Britain’s restaurants, who would stand to benefit from such rating, is being unfairly treated.

Btw I actually like British food, and have spent a lot of time in the UK. Just think your comment is funny, and the upvotes are funnier.

I get your point number one, but any American city better restaurants than London? You cannot seriously believe that. Sure, NY, Chicago, etc but common.

They probably mean any large/prominent American city comparable in size to London.

They are still wrong. London is up with the best you will find anywhere in the world. Even a lot of large US cities are a poorer substitute.

I can't make an argument for or against that, because I've never been to London. I was just saying what I thought they meant 😊
