For hundreds and hundreds of years the British have taken the trouble to perfect the most banal, uninspired and tastless food. Here in a scarce twenty years with all these people from tropical climes British food choice is now international, tasty, even risque (compared to what it was).

The British have been overwhelmed. They have abandoned their puddings and their shepperd's pies, their fried fish and potatoes and bangers for Tandoori and Thali.

They lost.

As my friend Paul Theroux once said about the British when I was carping about them. "Worswick...what can you expect of a people that the beginning of winter lathered their bodies with animal fat and then sewed themselves inside animal skins to keep warm".
