Actually, List of British Servant Vs Cooking Skill:
The Arturias: Nope, never learned and never needed to. That’s honestly it, their lack of cooking isn’t anything funny, they could probably learn to if they wanted.
Gawain: Oh fuck no he can’t! This is actually canon, he’s a one note chef and that note is Bad™
Lancelot: Yes but only to impress the ladies and get laid, and ever then it’s only vaguely decent. Also the cooking isn’t that great.
Tristan: Honestly? Better than the other Knights (except Bedivere) I honestly believe this. I honestly believe Tristan is allowed in the kitchen because he is not a total fuck up somehow.
Bedivere: Like everything in comparison to the Knights, Bedivere is Good But Not The Best. At least, in theory, but Bedivere is Good in a sea of “Banned From The Kitchen” Types, so by comparison Bedivere is a cooking god. Also Bedivere is Good Boy so he can improve unlike most everyone else on this list.
Galahad: Unfortunately yes, Mr Perfect learned to cook because of fucking course he did.
Mordred: Oh he’d try, bless his heart he’d try! But no, this kid cannot cook. Much to the disappointment of Fran.
Agravain: His grease just gets into everything he cooks, ruins everything. Also he’d be the type to make health food exclusively probably.
Gareth: ...Look let’s just say at this point none of the Orkney siblings can cook, though Gareth would mess up the least.
Waver: ...You really think this disaster of a man can cook?
Gray: Hey someone in Wavers entourage has to, and like many things that falls to Gray.
Reines: No Reines, Trimmau cooking does not count as you cooking.
Boudica: Yes and this is canon, however she’s really Iceni so she’s only British on a technicality.
Merlin and Proto Merlin: You look me in the eyes and say you truly believe, in you heart of hearts, that the literal Internet Wizards can cook and cook well. Yeah that’s what I thought.
Astolfo: Ok look I know they’re a French literary character but they’re English in the story so they count. Anyways answer is no but unlike most other noes here they’re not a colossal cooking fuck up they just need a minor amount of work. Like, edible but not preferable.
Moriarty: Honestly? Yes, I do think Moriarty could cook, man is clearly a Man of Wealth And Taste, if nothing else he makes a mean cocktail and I know that doesn’t necessarily translate to cooking but I just Know he can make something serviceable. If nothing else he’s smart enough to know how to not fuck up!
Sherlock: No. Sherlock hides it well enough but this is a slight disaster man and sadly he cannot cook despite his intellect. ...Unless a case requires him to, in which case nothing will taste better. He will figure out gramgram’s secret apple pie recipe for that case and replicate it perfectly and you will be in awe.
Robin Hood: Man lived on his own in Sherwood he probably knows more about how to perfectly roast meat over a fire than anyone else in the world, among other open fire recipes. Also he would actually listen to constructive criticism, a bonus in his favor!
Francis Drake: Actually, I bet she could and would, and she’d do it with stolen spices (not too many though, she needs those to make money with!) In all seriousness, she’s a pirate, at the very least she likely knows how to make things edible if she gets stuck somewhere.
Charles Babbage: Modern English Servant, enough said.
Nursery Rhyme: Not counting her as she’s a child based on fairy tales, and is only English by technicality.
Shakespear: Even if he could, he wouldn’t because he’d enjoy seeing you try to stomach the tragedy that is this meal.
Jack the Ripper: Uh, no, I do not think the aggregation of dead children who never had mothers know how to cook.
Florence Nightingale: Cooking food keeps you from getting sick.
