Beef & Broccoli Banned by the European Union

Or so it seems!
We have been to no less than 7 Chinese food restaurants in the area, and NONE of them offer a beef and broccoli dish. As a last ditch resort, the last time we went for Chinese I ordered a ‘beef & mixed vegetables’ dish. Sadly, it contained no broccoli. 
Why, England.. WHY?!?! I can accept the fact that your current levels of culinary technology do not allow for the implementation of plain white Instant Rice into the average English diet. I can even get over the fact that you insist on putting corn in everything. Calling it ’sweetcorn’, however, doesn’t make me any more likely to think it belongs in a tuna sandwich, pasta salad, or on a pizza. (Really now!) But to not have discovered the wonders of Chinese beef & broccoli?! Such a shame..
(I could probably find a recipe and cook it myself, but then I wouldn’t have anything to complain write about today.)
