British food least popular in Europe

Traditional British dishes such as spotted dick have come bottom in a European food table.
Just three per cent of continentals admire our fare while Italian cuisine is their favourite – with 60 per cent of the vote.
And just five per cent of Britons want to master national dishes, the poll by Apetina cheese found.

I like British food.

Toad in the hole.
Fish n chips
Haggis
Black Pudding.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Black pudding or less often blood pudding is a British English term for sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. It is also called blood sausage ( first attested in 1868, perhaps influenced by German Blutwurst). Although "blood sausage" is often labeled as a North American term, it is also found in British English (e.g., in the story "The Name-Day" by Saki). "Blood sausage" is also a useful term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.
Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, sweet potato, barley and oatmeal.

I guess this is what happens when you live on an island. You start invented weird foods... spotted dick, kidney pie... ughh. Now that is just my opinion. I never tasted anything from England... nor would I want to!
