If your own countries food was not an option, would you say English food is the best in the world?

I got into an intense conversation about world foods. A group of English people were visiting America and making comments about how the food was better here than in England in a video.

I told this person I was talking to that I believe every country has good cuisine, and great dishes, but that I didn't think that English food is or was universally considered to be one of or the best in the world. So what do you think?

Yes, I've tried it, and English food is the best in the world

Yes, I've not tried it, but English food seems like it is the best cuisine in the world

No, I've tried it, and English food is not the best cuisine in the world

No, I've not tried it, but English food does not seem like it is the best in the world

I'm English, can't choose my own cuisine for this poll, just want to see the answers

The things that taste nice in England are not things that are exclusively British anyway so nah. Curries are just borrowed from India even if it's a korma. Fish and chips welp tell me a place that don't have fish and potato's. Pizza and other bread based stuff that wasn't English that's European.
So unless if it's something specific like Black Pudding it's not gonna belong to us anyway. And us British people especially more younger and modern really don't care about these weird actually British dishes.

I have some of this feeling about "American food." Most of it is an amalgamation of the best foods from the immigrants that have come to this country, but that people consider "American" food, which I guess technically that's largely the point of the literal melting pot of society.

Actually with America it's more the exact other way around since it's immigrants who created USA which then brought in outside food. But it did lead to the same results except Uk does have historical cultural dishes, America don't have any unless we class native American food... but I don't know what that even is.

Some things are good like the fish and chips and English breakfast, but other things I really wouldn't even want to look at.

There's nothing wrong with English food itself, the problem is too many times cooks go down the cheap ingredient route and ruin the dish. I think this can be a problem in tourist areas and it gives a bad impression of the cuisine.

To really get a sense of any country, you have to eat where the locals eat or from someone's kitchen that's lived there their whole lives and actually likes cooking. A tourist eatery will always do fast and cheap.
