Fish and chips stopped being the national dish about 20 years ago. Give me biryani followed up by rasmalai.
(And yes, I'm as "white" as Harold Wilson.) Most food native to my islands is not fit for human consumption.
You're the sportsdude. As far as I'm concerned, football is a remnant from pre-Enlightenment man. It would attract my interest much more if it was played the way it was in the 1300s, by fighting to kick a skull from one side of the village to the other. It made rugby look like synchronized swimming.
For me, it's just that London, like any really big city, is a thing unto itself. In some ways, cities have more in common with each other than they do with the rest of the nations that surround them. It's not perfect, it's not safe at night, it's not even clean. It's just home. It's too big to describe.
