        Stir-fry, Peking duck, fried rice – the tastes of Britain.

        "Britain?!" I hear you cry. "But British people take afternoon tea with sandwiches! Those are Chinese dishes!"

        According to a survey by Food Network UK, nine out of 10 British people said their favorite food was Asian. The number one international food in Britain was stir-fry, according to the Daily Mail, with 55 percent saying they ate it often.

        Britain has a very multicultural history. Centuries of history brought dishes from across the world. Almost every town in the UK has a Chinese or Indian restaurant, and Italian, Thai and Jamaican are not unusual. Perhaps it's no surprise that they learned to cook and eat dishes from other countries. Traditional British food doesn't have a great reputation (名声).

        International food has become British food – even when British are cooking. Another survey by the UKTV food channel in 2009 showed the most common dish British could cook without a recipe was Italian spaghetti bolognaise (意大利肉酱面).

        However, if you're in the UK and think a trip to a Chinese restaurant would be a great way to stay away from homesickness, think again. Many British Chinese dishes aren't exactly Chinese. At the end of every British Chinese meal, you get a sweet crisp known as a "traditional Chinese fortune cookie". I have lived in Beijing for almost a year. I have yet to eat a fortune cookie that is really Chinese. A bowl of stir-fry followed by a fortune cookie… now that would be a way to cure my homesickness – for the UK.
