18. Because they think their cooking is the best in the world
They boasted 26 three-starred restaurants in the 2005 Michelin Guide. However, the guide is a French institution. Could that be why the UK had only three? Coincidence, non?

As mentioned in the local food thread - the English would be hard pressed to claim our food is better than French food, without raising guffaws of laughter.

Well one restaurant in England with a Michelin Star is owned by Raymond Blanc... a Frenchman!
But yes, you're right.
