Particularly the French are great in making jokes about British cuisine. For example, according to one French comic, hell is a place where the cooks are British. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Or did you know why the British serve <b>mint sauce</b> with lamb? According to French food critics, mint must be the only plant not eaten by sheep. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Of course, these all are exaggerations. The British bear them with their <b>superior sense of humor</b>. And probably it's their preference for understatements why they haven't cracked similar jokes about French cuisine. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> It's granted that British cuisine cannot present as wide an array of internationally renowned dishes as does French cuisine. But British cuisine has contributed a lot to the world's <b>steak culture</b>, and there are a number of inventions in British cuisine which are even adopted by the French - as for example the creation of sandwiches. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> As for steaks, that has in the past been so British that British elite troops were referred to as <b>beefeaters</b>. And the term <b>Porterhouse</b> for a special large kind of steak cuts has nothing to do with porters or luggage carriers but originates from British pubs where a special brand of dark beer, <b>Porter beer</b>, was served, and where a snack consisted of a steak some 2 lbs (about 900 grams) by weight - a single portion for a single man. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Talking about snacks: the first association is a <b>sandwich</b>, and the origin is as British as it could be. The name refers to the <b>Earl of Sandwich</b> who lived 1718 to 1792. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> The British have always been betting and gambling buffs. It's in accordance with their idea of <b>sports</b> and <b>sportsmanship</b> - basically a British philosophy. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> But the <b>Earl of Sandwich</b> overdid it even by British standards. During his gambling days, taking meals was considered by him as highly unwelcome interruptions. He therefore invented a kind of meal not requiring him to exchange the gambling table for the dinning table: <b>sandwiches</b>. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> It's a character trait of the British not to be overly proud of their cuisine. This is a state of mind that makes one open to learn. In the case of their foods and drinks, the British did learn quite a bit from the <b>colonies</b> conquered by the beefeaters all around the world. From East Asia (China) they adopted <b>tea</b> (and reexported the habit to India), and from India they adopted <b>curry-style</b> spicing. </font> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> However, they didn't just copy these food and drink habits but combined them with their own foodstuffs: <b>tea with milk</b>, and <b>curry with pastry</b> (to make curried pies). <br>
