My comment was based solely on one gag from one episode of the Simpsons, nothing more. The dentist shows Ralph the "Big Book of British Smiles". Thus is the extent of my knowledge of British oral Hygene. After all, this is the "Stereotypes" thread.

i dont think the UK having bad food is a commonly precieved stereotype..is it?...perhaps it is..

Well... they're not known for gourmet cooking, and I can only think of two British resturaunts, one is in Canada. And lets just say you've got to be in a very particular mood to enjoy it. But I do love fish and chips with Colemans mustard and vinegar, washed down with pints of Guiness.

Guinness is Irish last time i looked...

nah, your right..we dont have the gimmicky restraunts like that, but we do have good restaurants here and fine foods....fish and chips are rarely served in a restaurant here, its a take-away food..
