I had some pretty average food in London too however I had one of the best burgers and stews I have had in Cork, Ireland.I have some mixed reviews there. I have not been to Wales. I have been to Dublin, Galway, Cork, Bray, and a few other tiny towns in Ireland. The food was not great, nor was it terrible. Kind of like Englamd, the Iriush arent KNOWN for their cuisine. Corned beef and cabbage and soda bread on St. Patty's. Some great beer. But otherwise, its a fairly meat and potatoes type of place. Nothing wrong with that, just not what I tend to gravitate toward.
As for Scotland, I was not in Glasgow. I did go to Edinburgh and loved the city, same with the Isle of Skye and some other towns. Super friendly people, good beers, lovely scenery and so forth. But also...not known for the food. I tried haggis, not my thing.
I always try some native foods, and/or ones a country might be stereotypically known for when I travel...like escargot in france (wasnt bad actually, but love me some foie gras for example).
Iceland is also a lovely country (I know not Celtic per se). Not great food. Loved the country otherwise. Water was smelly though...sulphuric..volcanic! Also tougher to sleep with it light out so much but...had a blast there.
They are all on the "white people" side of things, no doubt. If you're looking for spice then you need to find some good restaurants ran by immigrants, aka the massive Indian population in the UK pumping out very good Indian food
That Michelin star restaurant looks amazing BTW. Love some good eats. I've had some amazing food experiences in the US, the Farm in New York being amazing. Good food has no value in my mind.
