Is this generally a English thing to not season food?
I've witnessed so many friends/relatives for example use only salt & pepper to season a chicken bland or what
The same with lamb, just a sprinkle salt & pepper and then they dish it up.
I'd love for someone who is guilty of doing this, to try to explain it to me.

Even the franchises are a bit bland to cater to the general population. KFC here is horrible, whereas KFC in other countries, there's spicy chicken!
These are all mere generalisations, and I hope anyone who is about to take offence is aware of that.
you should try addenbrookes hospital`s branch of burger king, they put very few chips on their portions of salt.
Haha! That sounds good.
Who needs fries when you've got salt, eh?
Explain it? The food tastes nice to me without it.
You know that before you cook it
I didn't realise how I eat would bother anyone else so much.
Ok a breast of chicken just seasoned with salt & pepper tastes like cardboard.
In your opinion. You do know people like different things, right?
Being a member of DS is going to be awfully unnerving for you if you think your opinions and tastes are the only possibly ones.
eat unseasoned food often enough and youll get used to the subtle flavours. over seasoning makes no sense, you may as well just eat salt.
Tastes like chicken to me. Where do you get your chicken from?
Your chicken is more likely overcooked than under-seasoned if it tastes like cardboard.
I like a bit of seasoning but I don't like it to overwhelm the taste of the food. As OH is Jamaican and likes to cook I've got used to highly seasoned food but sometimes I really enjoy a traditional English meal (what I grew up with) - I don't think it's bland, I like it!
Open the chicken, gently salt & pepper the chicken then bang in it in the oven, job done.
Mistake number one assuming all seasoning is just salt. Cliche
I don't watch any, but I imagine they don't. That's because that suits their palate, but not mine. Heard of the idea that different people like different things? Apply it here.
A separate sauce is always nice though
That's most likely down to cheap chicken breasts that are pumped full of water. The water evaporates during cooking and leaves them dry, or the worse case scenario the water leeches out and starts to boils the chicken.
I don't think that's correct, I think it's just people not willing to experiment with herbs & spices.
