Same goes for our own food, really. Traditional stuff is popular, but there's a huge amount of stuff from overseas in the British diet.

You have traditional stuff though. All we have is someone else's traditional stuff. :p

Eh, sometimes. Some of it's really good though. Especially the puddings, pies, and sausages.

Bbq, southern, creole, text mex. American cuisine is excellent. It's not french or Italian or chinese, but overall it's varied and pretty good.

Cajun too. Basically, the south has good food.

There's a restaurant in Japan called the Irish Potato, with a picture of an evil potato on it.

Is it too soon?

Well the English fry is disappointing compared to the Irish and Ulster fries.

I'd lean more towards Irish food being slightly less bland and terrible. Yorkshire puddings are a major redeeming factor though.

Not unless they don't serve potatoes because "their crop was destroyed."

They even deigned to have a skinny fry selection.

That's just insulting.

Goofy transhumanist poetry sig, activate.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
