Foreign muck is a classic British expression — often used ironically or with exaggerated grumpiness — for food that isn't traditional British fare. It encapsulates a certain old-fashioned insularity toward cuisine from other countries. These days it's more commonly said with a wink, either by people affectionately mocking that attitude or using it to describe their own adventurous eating habits. 'Oh, you're having foreign muck again?' can be playful ribbing as easily as genuine disapproval.
My granddad called every single meal that wasn't meat and two veg 'foreign muck', including pizza.
