If you’re curious what the menu of a “British Cuisine” restaurant in Italy looks like, then look no further…

  1. Surprised it’s not full of anglicised pasta dishes.
    Spag Bol, etc.

    You only need to see a couple of those Gino D’Acampo shows to get that what we consider “Italian food” is nothing of the sort.

  2. Some decent looking attempts there, well done to them!

  4. Scotch Egg isn’t even Scottish, but I don’t think it really matters to them.

  5. North east…Lancashire hotpot. I guess that’s like our knowledge of Italian regions!

  6. They’re trying to cover all of UK with a recipe for each region so fair enough for that.

  7. There’s about to be an international incident about the bottom right.

  9. The lads over at r/Ireland won’t be best pleased.

  10. I consider pork pie, east midlands not west midlands.

    Fair play to them, they’ve given it a go.

  11. Salmon in the north east? Cod maybe. Or pease pudding. But salmon? Fuck no.

  14. But people keep telling me there are no British restaurants in other countries because our food is so bad.

    (The reality is that generally we call them pubs and they all sell British food)

  15. So I’m half British here, raised in Italy, and that’s basically me and my best friends plan if our careers go bad.

    But I want to do it properly: Yorkshire puddings, home made pies, nicely made mash and homemade gravy (plus series of homemade soups) and pastries. Italians don’t know what they’re missing out on….

  17. Do they not have graphic designers in the continent? Whenever I’ve visited you always get cheaply made signs like this.

  18. Didn’t understand a word of it. All french to me

  20. Again, I’m disappointed because of the North-East Region.

    The day I see a parmo in any foreign English restaurant, I’ll be happy.

  22. I am simultaneously impressed and concerned that the fish and chips are gluten free, but “Jack the potato” is not.

  23. Some good attempts! Although as an East Anglian, an avocado CLUB sandwich is ambitious. I see patients who still can’t read, let alone eat avocado. I’m sure Italians could get behind dressed crabs and mussels though. Bit of coney wouldn’t go amiss either

  26. Cornish pasty – good. Made in Cornwall – impressive. Served with baked beans?! No!

  28. “UK Plate
    Area : Ireland”

    Don’t worry this is pre-1916.

  29. Fish and chips is not just a london thing. In fact I think most people associate fish and chips with really any sea side british town. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had was in Anstruther, 15 mins from St Andrews. There’s a chippy there that won a number of awards for their food. And everything is as fresh as can be.

  30. Wow this is pretty representative of some of the various foods we have. Glad to see salmon on there too.
