Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. Those who do know English food are clear that it can be really very good. Furthermore, some people are not really interested in food. They think people eat to live, not live to eat. So they prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.
