-I generally find questionable when people who , say, never visited England voice strong opinions about Stonehenge or Lincoln Cathedral

Never been to Lincoln Cathedral,  but lots of history there! World's tallest building for 200 years, etc!

Surprising choice, but there we are. Tower of London?

The second battle of Lincoln, 1217, slightly before I was born,  in which Royal forces defeated a French  army, and rebel barons, is said to have prevented England being occupied by France. Might have improved our cooking.

The French didn’t improve their own cooking until Catherine Demedici married into the  French Royal Family. She brought her cooks from Italy and that is when the French learned how to cook. That was in the 1500s.
