They suck to. True every place that puports to cook the American way is truly awful, but then they cannot cook Fish and Chips either. Italian food also is awful, but the point is "when in Rome" if you go where the locals go and eat what the locals eat the food is excellent.
Nowhere in the world have I sought English bars or "Sunday lunch" as is often sold.
Been to America and I though the food was awful, does that make it bad? No just not to my taste. Leave your prejudices behind when you travel.
If you cannot enjoy the local fare that is your problem, not the local cooks.

What on earth are you talking about? Almost all the recommendations here have been places with a predominantly local clientele. I see no prejudice on this thread just what is the opinion of a great many foreigners that have made their homes here. In general the food is of a low standard and bland in BA - there is generally not a culture of appreciating, exploring and taking care in the preparation of food here. If you randomly try your luck with some corner restaurant, you're probably going to get more blandness, hence this thread.
