England is a very easy county for expats who want their local foods, especially if you live in a city.

Most small to mediun size towns have Indian and Chinese places, and medium to large towns generally have a variety of shops that serve food from a good number of countries.

Rotherham, a nothing special town in South Yorkshire, has food from at least 10 countries that I tried (and enjoyed). There are likely a lot more now.

Cities the size of Sheffield have more food from more places than I can remember. It's hard to find countries that aren't represented.

London has everything with the possible exception of North Korea.

That makes it easy for expats, and food heaven for locals.

Hi Cherly

I've lived in Birmingham, Peteborough, Bristol and Glasgow. Birmingham was the cheapest but hard to find min. wage jobs others were expensive compared to Birm.

However in most cities there would be always a knows place with cheap groceries and you could stack up for a week or more depending on your need, i have a big family so i would buy a whole lamp or sheep for a very good price 7/kg which is very good compared to 12-13/kg.

There is a very wide range of specific country shops even like Vietnamese or African rare food.

Schools usually offer kids free meals until 2kg after that meal cost is 2.5 quids.

Eating outside could be expensive in bigger cities but portions are alot better than other countries ive lived in, alot of the time you could be full and take the rest of the food home

Eating in England is very simple and you can get great food buy preparing it yourself, When I lived there I was particularly fond of fish fingers with baked beans. I also thoroughly enjoyed making fish finger sandwiches with a small splodge of tomato ketchup and mayonnaise on it.  Another simple favourite is cheese (cheddar) on toast. This can be improved by adding baked beans on top. I also tried it with a fried egg on the very top but that detracted from the overall enjoyment. Another favourite was fried egg on fried bread.

Eating out is not cheap. You can grab a sandwich from various places like W H Smith, Sainsbury or Marks & Spencers but for a lot less money you can pretty much make the same sandwich at home. Ingredients like Branston Pickle and Sharwood's Mango Chutney make a cheese sandwich 'great'.

I used to eat fish 'n' chips, kebabs, Chinese takeaway, Greek food like moussaka when eating out.

To answer the question, no, not really, I'm a Brit, my wife is Dutch, we live in North Yorkshire.  We manage to get what we need when we need it.  A general comment my wife makes is the lack of choice for getting vegetables in the UK in comparison to the Netherlands.  I think it's fair to say that seasonal vegetables are not a thing in Holland, where they produce a significant amount of Europe's veg, so she can get what she wants whenever she wanted it, not so in the UK where seasonal supply seems to be a fact of life, particularly since we left the EU and the admin required to move stuff across the borders became more problematic with the extra administration required, to the extent supply has diminished.

That is true. I currently live in Indonesia and the choice of food, fruits, vegetables is very different from what I could buy in England. Also, because much of the tropical fruits and veg are grown locally then they are very fresh, often sold in markets on the same day they were picked.
