Go to most countries and you see ethnic restaurants dedicated to various fare from other countries - French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Thia, Mexican, etc.
What you don't see is "British" - in fact about the only British fare that even shows up the menu in other countries is fish and chips...
Wrong. Any Mediteranean or Canarian cafe will advertise 'English Breakfasts', 'bangers and mash' or 'Sunday roasts' or what they think it might be eg the cafe I saw in Majorca which advertised 'donna kebabs' (that spelling) as being British.
I know a place in Yermasoya (Cyprus) which does an excellent sunday roast meal and I've had them in the Caribbean too (Barbados)
