Not gonna lie, the food in Spain is tremendous. And yes, historically our recipes have been bland (but with decent produce). Post WW2 staples were dreadful. But we’re a fairly multicultural clubtry now, so Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Thai etc are all on the menu these days.

Ha, you’ve no idea what you’re talking about, Amigo. North Sea fish from the waters of Shetland is amazing. Shetland lamb, Scottish Beef. Google it. I suspect it shits all over the drugged up fodder served in American cities :-)

My wife still uses reddit now and then, but I can’t because I’m banned :-/

I live in the UK. Tonight we had fresh haddock and chips, caught locally. Yesterday we had lamb curry, made with locally sourced lamb. Local produce is abundant, and high quality. How you cook it is up to you, but we also have some of the best chefs in the world.
