Alot of people used to think that British food was very boring, but today things are very different. If you go
to London now, you can eat in some of the best restaurants in the world. And in most cities in Britain, you
can eat food from many different countries.
Indian food is very popular in Britain. People from India and Bangladesh first came to Britain in the
seventeenth century, and the first Indian restaurant opened in London in 1773. In Manchester there's a street
called 'The Curry Mile', because there are so many curry restaurants there.
Chinese people first started to come to the UK during the 1880s, and now many big cities in the UK have an
area called Chinatown. These areas have a lot of Chinese restaurants. There are also lots of Chinese
takeaways — restaurants that sell food that you can eat at home. Food from other Asian countries like
Thailand and Vietnam is becoming popular as well as delicious African and Caribbean food.
Of course, people all over the world love Italian food, and the British are the same. Most towns have an
Italian restaurant, and pizza is one of the most popular foods in Britain.
If you are in London, you should visit the markets. They have vegetables you don't usually see in
supermarkets, and they're cheaper than in the supermarkets too. But if you don't want to eat food from other
countries, you can always try the British classic: fish and chips.
