Marco.
Where did you experience thousands of Brits just like me? I'll go there for me holidays Unless you meant a football match. Or Blackpool.

But is the assertion that the 'broader palette' I speak of really just a claim? I see evidence of this in shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafes, restaurants all over the UK. Are all the ingredients for 'world cuisine' (by which I mean everywhere, not just continental Europe) as readily available in say, Italy as it is in the UK? If so, it could be said both nations have a similarly broad palette and that could be where the true facts live, somewhere between your opinion and mine.
