Yeah I can agree with you that perhaps many countries have cuisine we consider bad because countries just do their best and they can't all be Italy or the Szechuan Province.

I don't agree that because of the British Empire their food is good. They had the British Empire long enough to prove or disprove that claim.

I've visited England 5-ish times. I love it. But I've personally encountered some true Curry monstrosities over there. And Abominable fish and chips. I have fond memories of eating marzipan.

MOREOVER, Gordon Ramsay making dog-food egg mush and calling it scrambled has criminally misled a whole generation of youtube-addicted hipsters. I can't tell you how many times I've heard some random Millenial describe his exact, twisted method and inevitably I learn they've watched this exact video. Okay, twice.

But I don't blame the English, I blame the internet, which confuses our senses. > https://youtu.be/UXtrScuC30E?feature=shared&t=202

No one's saying that. We have decent pizza and Chinese food (sometimes), but that's nothing to do with the British Empire.
