Neither constructive or correct!
The food in London, and much of the rest of the England (try Lake District, West Country, South Coast) is generally of a good standard, and in many cases as good as anywhere in the world.
I speak as someone who's obsessed with food and had the pleasure of living in the UK, Europe, South America, and the US, not to mention travelling as a food-tourist in many other places.
There's been a massive change in attitudes here the last 15 years - the quality of produce (meat, seafood, game, fuit/veg) can be very high indeed, with a big uptake of organic produce and direct-from-the-farm markets springing up everywhere.
It's not just London and not just foreign food - British food has had real renaissance, and some of the best restaurants are in the provinces.
