When is celery in season in UK?
Vegetables no longer have 'seasons' in the UK - since most of them are imported, or grown in hot-houses - they're available all year round. Another answer: The UK imports about 60% of its vegetables and 90% of its fruit which means that 40% (nearly half) of UK vegetables are still grown in the United Kingdom and are all harvested during the appropriate season. A large amount of celery is grown in the UK and it is normally harvested in July/August until the first frost in Oct/Nov.

Yes it does. It makes a lot of its own food and also imports food that cannot be grown or produced in the United Kingdom.

What kind of food do people eat in the uk?
Much the same food as Americans eat. Locally raised sheep and beef. Seafood. Vegetables and fruit (some are imported). Traditional fare such as Fish and Chips (chips are fried potatoes, not potato chips), Bangers and MASH (sausages and mashed potatoes), Steak and Kidney Pie, Bubble and Squeak (uses cabbage), Shepherds Pie, Cottage Pie and Ploughman's lunch are still served in pubs. However, the chefs of the UK are taking many of these traditional meals and reworking them into "gourmet" meals. The UK is losing the reputation of "lousy" food. The English also like Indian Food, so there are many Indian restaurants.
