He's generally right about British food being pretty bland. I think both Ramsey and Oliver trained extensively in France, fwiw. London has decent food, but for a city of its stature it comes up pretty short in comparison with NY, Paris, Rome, etc. Hugh Grant is ok, but who doesn't like (some) Monty Python? and what kid didn't like watching Benny Hill chase scantily clad women around set to madcap music?
