Food sort of holds hands with the climate of the country. Britain is cold and wet most of the year. 

When our cuisine was developing people had to keep warm, which means consuming a lot of calories.

Potatoes, pies and sausages, for example, are easy to prepare and dense in calories.

I love Italian food, but I simply don't crave it during cold winters.

Pasta is also incredibly calorie dense.
