    You can’t actually be sure that stew doesn’t have a ton of ground spices in it, because they wouldn’t show. The flavor could be so intense you might need the plain potato bites to rest your mouth. (Highly unlikely but possible.) The real crime is the complete lack of anything green on the table. It’s like they looked around at the lush greenery all around them and decided to leave it all outside.

      Truthfully, I’ve been to the UK and had some great food, I just like to rag on the brits!

      But yes, the lack of color is probably the real issue with this meal. You really want some fiber to go with a meal like this, to say nothing of the missing nutrients. As an American though, mocking an all brown-and-white plate of food seems a little hypocritical, haha.
