But then again, English food can only be said to be monotonous. There are few strange dishes except looking up at the starry pie. As for the British people's health, it has nothing to do with eating English food or not.
Dark cooking is not that terrible. When it comes to English food, many people's first reaction is to cook it secretly. They may have made such a prediction before they came into contact with English food. In fact, this is not true, just as many people who have never eaten Chinese food directly say it is greasy.
Come to think of it carefully, there seems to be no other English food that can be remembered by outsiders except looking up at the starry sky cakes and Hakkas. English breakfast is even very popular in western countries.
Britain is a small place, because the geographical latitude is relatively high, the climate is relatively humid and cool, and there are not so many kinds of ingredients in warm areas, so it is difficult to develop such a rich food culture.
Compared with the rich and colorful French food, Italian food and Spanish food, there are few kinds of English food available. Apart from all kinds of meat, that is, fried fish, chips, pudding and stuffing cakes, it can be said that it is quite boring.
The cost of development, the decline of diet
Because of the climate, only animal husbandry and fishery are developed in Britain, and farming is not only limited in scale but also few in variety. Travelers from other countries in the Middle Ages commented on Britain that there was nothing delicious except beef, and even they seldom ate grain.
There's nothing we can do. Geographical conditions make Britain lack rich ingredients. Although meat and fish are abundant, Britain used to lack spices, so the food it made was not very delicious, and it could not be compared with the European diet in the middle and low latitudes.
Originally, there were many local cuisines in a large number of rural areas in Britain. Because farmers grew vegetables and fruits themselves, they also developed certain "private kitchens", but these quickly dissipated with the arrival of industrialization.
Industrialization is accompanied by urbanization, and a large number of farmers flood into cities to become workers. At that time, the working hours were particularly long, and the workers' diet could only guarantee calories. The loss of a large number of young people to the countryside also led to the failure of the inheritance of food culture, which made the development of British food worse.
British people don't like English food either.
In fact, today, eating non-native food has long been commonplace in the world. Cantonese can also eat Hunan food, and Shanghainese can also eat Japanese food. They all eat whatever they like, and they don't have to eat local food.
Britain is the first country in the world to implement and complete industrialization. Although the glory of the sun has long passed, it is still a developed country. Throughout Britain, there are various food cultures from all over the world.
According to the results of street voting organized by British documentary channel in 20 19, more than 45% of British people like Chinese food best, followed by Indian food, and Thai food is also very popular in Britain.
In fact, nowadays, British people seldom eat traditional British food except breakfast. The only common English foods are English French fries, fried fish and pudding, most of which are almost the same as those in other parts of Europe.
Good health is mainly due to the high degree of development, but now Britain is still very developed, with economic development and people's living standards in the forefront of the world, and all aspects of protection are relatively perfect.
Most western countries, including Britain, are mainly high-protein meat and dairy products, with relatively good physical development, but the traditional British diet is extremely greasy and unhealthy.
Britain ranks among the best in the world in terms of comprehensive physical fitness and average life expectancy. Although the influence of diet on the body is very important, it is not the only factor. What is more important is living habits and medical standards.
As a developed country with high welfare, the quality of life of the British is relatively high, and the security system in all aspects is relatively perfect. British people naturally have more time and ability to stay healthy, and their physical fitness will naturally be good.
