Asquith - ignorant as I am of the joys of Iranian culinary traditions, I'm a big fan of British food of all sorts. We have a bad reputation, but it's ill-deserved, as a decent corned beef hash or steak and kidney pudding will show. Also, haggis is an oft-overlooked masterpiece of our northen friends, and Welsh rarebit is truly admirable in it's simple, homely charm. Particularly with Stilton. Who needs that American rubbish. Not me. Tiz – indeed, Simon Amstell is particularly excellent.

It sort of vaguely upset me that she was shunning not only the excellent food of her country of origin, but also the best of English food, which can reach an extremely high standard (although you do have to look quite long & hard).

Britain is joke-free since Brand/Ross: no, I don't give a damn what any of you think, it was <i>intended</i> as a joke. I fully endorse Simon Amstell. Oh, and good luck to whoever is running this country in 2020 in finally ridding the nation of (relative) child poverty. Where have you been?
