Expert Solution
England and the exotic east

From the days of its rise to global prominence as a superpower, the British have been purveyors of the exotic. Having established themselves in every part of the globe, the English have always shown a keen interest in the cuisine of others. In fact, the restaurant scene in the cosmopolitan city of London is so elaborate that you will be able to taste almost all flavors of the world in London. The unique history of England in international trade and globalization is one of the reason its own indigenous food culture has taken the back seat. Nevertheless food items like the Shepherds pie, Fish and Chips as well as the English breakfast have become commonplace across the world.
