English all the way for me. I love international cuisine of all varieties but English really is a winner. there are several great English classic combinations. Lamb and mint, Pork and cider/apple, beef and horseradish and my favourite, venison and rosemary.
Fish 'n' chips is lovely but by and large we fail at fast food, Italian, chinese and obviously American food are all better in the quick and easy league but if you want to make an effort English is so much better.
English cuisine is much maligned but it's like so much that is English. We don't do low to mid anything very well but when it comes to high end everything we excel most of the time and food is no exception. A bowl of good casserole with wholemeal bread cut for dipping takes some beating, as does a proper roast with all the bits.
I don't do puddings but we win there as well.

Italian.
For example, prior to visiting Italy I hated spinach. With a passion. In 2005, we visited a trattoria in Valeggio (allegedly the birthplace of tortelloni), and I ordered a side dish of wilted spinach with olive oil and parmesan. It was sensational.
And the pizzas!
And the tortelloni with butter and sage.
And the sidestreet paninis.
And the caffe correto
