It's more a case of using fresh foods more often. A portion of carrots, broccoli and sweetcorn and a dose of spuds is very cheap if you go to a greengrocer or lower-cost supermarkets like Aldi or Lidl- even the big chains have cheap veg ranges. And if you shop wisely, making things yourself will be much cheaper. But when it comes to time - I'm the same. I work long hours and just can't face the performance of preparing and cooking food in the evening. When I do have a decent freezer I will try to make batches or cook for a couple of days. It's the only way to go about it in this day and age. Ashley – I don’t think he meant that everyone should become cordon bleu gourmands. It’s more a case of using fresh foods more often.

It's just meat breaded and then fried. Oh it's so good with mashed potatoes and broccolli, yummy. xiaoecho – chicken fried steak is good but chicken fried chicken is better.

Really that's news to me. English food was terrible, now however chefs are starting to pay attention and good restuarants are all over London. What an a$$hole. Did he ever stop to realize that maybe the working class can't afford to pay for expensive food so they have to eat what they can. Maybe they don't feel like spending 40 quid on a meal. I'm always reading in the Daily Mail how families are having trouble buying food because of the rising costs of groceries, yet this putz expects them to cook gourmet food every night? Unlike him, they have to work, they don't have time to spend hours in a kitchen. English food was good before???? Really that’s news to me.

Blood pudding? Eel pie? Are you joking? You know, at least Americans are overweight for a reason -- our food is amazing! Fried chicken, hamburgers, hot wings, full adoption of Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Greek cuisine as "American foods" -- seriously, sometimes it pays to be a melting pot.

Cooking and eating well and healthily costs probably far less than the ready-cooked, take-out crap that so many people stuff their faces with every day. Always kills me when people say they haven't time to cook!! And yeah, sadly the case re Brits abroad but I'm sure you, like me, have loads of British friends who know how to enjoy themselves at home and abroad without ending up having their stomachs pumped at the end of the night. Thanks for the grits expl. Daisy. Agree, Hel, so much of it is just pure laziness.

They are lazy when it comes to cooking, even though there are endless cookery programmes showing how to cook a good meal in 20 minutes....and I am saying this as a Brit.
