David Sedaris: It’s sort of a cliche about how bad British food is, but it’s not true in London. In London, you can eat really well. But, if you go to somewhere like Bradford, wow, is the food bad! I was on tour in the UK a couple years ago, and I went out to lunch with my tour manager. He said we’ll go to this pub for lunch, and they brought us this stuff, I can’t even call it food, and it’s kind of tucked into it. I’m not a snob that way, but I just couldn’t, I just couldn’t. It was such a lousy excuse for lunch.

Interviewer: Why is it bad? Like, what’s bad about it?

Sedaris: You know, it’s just that they don’t care. They don’t, they just don’t, just put some baked bean on a baked potato… or some tuna fish on a baked potato. And, canned corn, and call it lunch. And, the potato’s not even hot. It’s stuff like that. You couldn’t even heat the potato up all the way? It’s not a high priority for them.

Interviewer: I would never have even thought of that. Even as a broke college kid, I would never have thought about combining tuna and baked potato.

Sedaris: No, I would never think to put tuna on potato. They call it having a jacket potato. It was canned tuna mixed with peas on a jacket potato. If you go to a fancy place, and it’s going to be fantastic. There’s been many times in England where I’ve gone to somebody’s house, and you don’t want to be rude, but you just think like “wow, couldn’t you try to put a little effort into it?”
