Eating Habits
"HIS business of being an island, of course, has its absurd consequences. Because they/are unused to foreign cooking, and are’ still suffering from the fact that, in the second half of the last century, it was looked upon almost as indecent to take a keen interest in cooking and wines, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this countryperhaps even millions -- who quite honestly dislike the thoughtful and imaginative cooking of, say, the French and the Belgians, the Poles and the Danes. They don’t trust any sauce, except something that comes out of a bottle with @ well-known label on it. Because -they have never themselves | been taught to cook, they despise people | who have."--Vernon Bartlett speaking in the BBC’s General Overseas Service on "Europeans as seen by the British."
