Cheese is good. And Britain, despite the grumblings of the French and the outrage of the Swiss, not to mention some plucky challenges from Italy, Austria, and Spain, has some of the best cheese in the world. We're world leaders in cheese.

If the British Isles had an official vegetable, it would have to be the potato.

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

Grapes are grown in such profusion in the Southern and Western States that I have seen damaged bunches thrown to the pigs. Americans find it difficult to understand how highly this fruit is prized in England.

Most British cheeses are now vegetarian and are labelled accordingly. However, French and Italian manufacturers still tend to use rennet.

I think, British food, it's had a bad rap.

The only thing I can cook is Welsh rarebit.

I don't understand how it's cheaper to buy a whole steak at the Price Club than spinach. How did that happen?

It has, therefore, been a favorite boast of the people of Wales and Cornwall, that the original British stock flourishes in its unmixed purity only among them.

Without a doubt, one of my favorite American ingredients is blue crabs, a true delicacy! And a great value, I think.
