I have noticed that British fantasy authors (Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and you-know-who) tend to describe wonderful meals, so I think that tells us something about Bri'ish cuisine. For them, good food apparently is just as fantastical as talking animals and wizards.

Though have you seen just how many food descriptions are in ASOIAF (Game of Thrones books)? GRR Martin loves a good food description.

Have you seen GRRM? He loves a good food.

Honestly, who doesn’t? I can’t remember ever reading a lengthy description of some delicious food and thinking that the author should just hurry up and get to the story.
