look I don't have enough wifi to look up electoral results and french people won't talk to me, but some of the meals I've had in alpine refuges this week have been the best meals I may have ever had

I am also so wine-drunk and so exhausted from being the fastest hiker I have encountered on the TMB. These may influence my opinions

Fish and chips and meat pies can be pretty good. I'm also a fan of Earl Grey and scones.

I really like well prepared cabbage. They absolutely get bland after a couple of days, but even just with salt, if it's fresh it's good.

Death to Terf Island of course.

Cornish pasties, fish and chips (especially in goth paradise Whitby), various stews, shepherds/cottage pie, pork pies, and rarebit all immediately come to mind. Then there's your desserts - apple pie, bakewell tart, rhubarb and gooseberry fools, victoria sponge cake, loads of stuff that tastes great if made properly.

Only problem is most british can't cook.
