What cooking is worst: English or Romanian?
Basically typical English cooking is abysmal; But there are now plenty of wonderful restaurants in England that didn’t use to be around when I was growing up. Now you can have almost anything you want. And the so-called new English cooking I think is actually very interesting. But it’s only been available for the last 10 – 15 years. Before English cooking had disgusting things like cottage pie, bubble and squeak, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Awful. Whenever I go to Romania I always eat Romanian food. My friends ask me which restaurant I would like to go to. I always say Romanian. Not again! My mother tried very hard but she couldn’t cook. My father got very furious with that. He told her that his cousins always cooked far better. These were the daughters of Tilea and they cooked Romanian food better than she did. So you can imagine how much she liked being told that. Actually she went off to learn how to cook and she even ended up with her own cookery school, teaching other people
