I'd be very careful what you say about British Cuisine. It does exist and there is some sodding good stuff created here. You can start with BACON - God's Gift to Food. The greatest food stuff of them all is British. Best. Food. Ever.

My dear boy... We have The Full English, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Black Pudding, Fried Slice, Beans and Mushrooms. The best breakfast in the world! Also, Roast Beef, Braised Venison, Rabbit Pie, Toad In The Hole, Cottage Pie etc etc... And do not even think about f**king with our puddings! I have heard that France has over 1000 cheeses, well, keep going lads, you'll get to Cheddar eventually!

Rubbish. The first records of bacon date back to China around 1500bc, but the name Bacon comes from Middle English. QED - Ours not the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys.

Oh, well that's because we were talking about geographic location and the relevant point was that Cambridge is fairly close to Newmarket. The university I went to would not affect my knowledge of Newmarket sausages. I would guess you haven't looked at my profile, though. You know what they say about assumptions ... ;)

According to "Oxford English Dictionary", and others french dictionary you are probably not considering, Bacon is an ancient french word which means "fleche de lard sale"
According to Larouse:
Birch J. [ed] et al, Larousse Gastronomique, 2001, Hamlyn, pp 62.:
BACON [...] In Britain it has been a traditional cottage food for centuries. Large-scale bacon curing dates to the 1770s in Wiltshire, still a bacon centre. [...] Bacon remains a gourmet product int the English-breakfast world [...]. The word derives from the old French Bakko, meaning ham, itself from the German for pig. [...] The word was then adopted by the English and returned to France with its present meaning.
So the commercial product is English, the meaning is from English and the original French word taken from German. Still ours.

Yeah, but it's Danish.

Not really, British Bacon is dry cured and Danish is wet.
Larousse
Cures may be bry (in salt), like the classic Whiltshoire cure, or wet (in brine) of which Danish exports are the leading example.
BACON is a British as subjugating natives and exporting criminals.
