I mean, yeah, but that's so much better. Sure, our food sucks, but it sucks in such an elevated way that it's almost an art form. British food seems like it was made by a guy desperately trying to put together a meal from ingredients he bought at a gas station. American cuisine seems like it was made by a chef who is losing his sanity to Lovecraftian horrors beyond our comprehension. The world looks at beans and toast and laughs at how pathetic it is.They look upon the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco and weep, for they now know there is no God.

Err, yeah, the point of beans on toast is that it's the simplest, most basic hot comfort food you can just throw together

OP’s pic is just the British way of saying “our national pastime is watching dry paint dry, and we’re most pleased to say that we’re rather proud of that fact!”

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

To be fair, I think their actual national pastime is Cricket, which is significantly more boring.

People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

Eh. I've had it, and it was fine. I've had the meat heavy full breakfast version too, and it was fine.

Certainly nothing I miss after leaving, nor something to avoid while there.

5/10, bland but sufficient.

"Meat heavy full breakfast version"

Press X to doubt

You seem to be ignorant of the subject matter. Google "full english breakfast".

There are several dozen YouTube videos of exactly this and it almost never goes over well. I’ve seen like two non British try been a and toast and go “that’s not as bad as I expected”. None of them praised it or would seek it out, it just didn’t immediately make them hurl.

I've never had them, so I can't comment on their taste, but aesthetically, it looks like a dish you'd be served in a Soviet prison.

Isn't Heinz their favorite brand for beans on toast? I think they just like the tomatoey sauce.
