"(... cuisine of the other British nations!)"

Now that is a total destruction of the English Language!!

Let's parse that a bit ...

cuisine ... commonly understood as French style cooking.

British nations ... commonly understood as Canada, or Australia, or New
Zealand, or Northern Ireland, or ... Britain, or ....

CONCLUSION: French style cooking of world wide english speaking nations.

Thank goodness he did not say Chinese Cuisine! Would that be Chinese
style French cooking or French style Chinese cooking? Ah ha! I'll have
Mandarin Duck over a French wine sauce flavored pork fried rice.
