I believe they would burn the 'corn and then put mustard on it. There are no cooks in England. Its a prime reason why they kept going off to foreign lands to fight wars. The food at home was so bad...
Having spent a year in England-Northampton-I can tell you Burger King food is the best you'll find in England. I had trout that was so fried/broiled it was like eating newspaper. I should tell you about eggs or breakfast in general but I'd ruin your dinner. I mean, how many of you have stood in line at MacDonald's at Gatwick just to get a decent meal before the long fight home? I had steak at a Top-Tier restaurant that was burned to a crisp despite being ordered rare with exactly two pieces of red potato (they murdered a juvenile one at that) and a cereal bowl of carrots right out of the can. And the cereal bowl was filled up to the very brim with hot melted butter. I had tears in my eyes.
OTOH, there was a place just outside N'hampton that served Tennessee Mud for desert that was incredibly good. And if you could stand the 2 hour wait an italiano joint across from the Carlsbad brewery was worth it. The India joints were so bad the people I worked with made faces (extremely bad form). They took us to a teeny place that was decent. I ate at a Chinese place and the food had a kerosene taste which when I questioned it was told well that's what they use for fuel to cook your food. The folks I was eating with? They had their food cooked over natural gas and it was good!!! Boy was I ever ticked.
Ha ha I ate pizza that had a disclaimer saying it was dairy free. When you live on a little island I guess you gotta make adjustments.
