Spain is now the fifth-biggest export market for British food products. So what does one of Britain’s top Spanish chefs make of his compatriots’ penchant (a tendency, partiality, or preference) for British grub?I’m very pleased that the Spanish are realising that British cuisine is improbable. When I arrived in London 16 years ago,I thought: “Wow! Every single food in the world is here.” I had been living in Madrid, where you had one very superior Italian, and everything else was basically Spanish. It wasn’t very diverse – there was no great Indian or Chinese food. The Spanish were very regional: close to their own food and wine and not so open to anything else. I’m elated (full of high-spirited delight) that Spain now loves Britain as much as Britain has always loved Spain. London is the best city in the world for eating out,and these are both my countries. Working together is only going to bring more superior things to the table.
