They are, especially with cheese, but the one thing that pisses me off is that people never cook them properly so the sauce is all runny like water. Food shouldn't be wet, it should be saucy and thick (soup included). A little butter helps with this.

Immediately prior to the first world war Britain imported roughly 60-70% of it's food. This was severely disrupted during the first world war. As well as this, most working age able-bodied men who worked in farming, food manufacture then ended up fighting overseas leaving less able-bodied men and inexperienced women to pick things up- which they did but it left Britain in a very sorry state. Rationing was severe during this time and that's why so many recipes from this time stand out because there were shortages with basic ingredients like bread and flour.

To be honest, Britain produces some of the finest cheeses, cream, milk, meats, wines, beers, spirits, some fruit and even the odd high quality vegetable. Yet for some reason it's associated with its lowest quality greasy-spoon cafe food or takeaways as its default which is the equivalent of assuming that any countries cuisine is only as good as their McDonalds. It's a farcical misconception that belies the ignorance of the morons touting it.
