I'll defend shepherd's pie, that shit slaps on a chilly day (cw: animal products)

They live on an island and and specialize in not eating seafood. Miserable little swamp

I don’t think anyone American is in a position to comment on people’s food either.

Oi m8 you raggin' on stargazy pie and jellied eels?

Fish and chips, mushy peas and shepherds pie slap

When I found out that British baked beans are in some kind of thin soupy tomato sauce rather than the delicious barbeque brown sugar sauce of American baked beans the hate towards British food made a lot more sense to me. Why do they put that shit in everything

Missing Ulysses rn

i'd say the average level of cooking ability being rock bottom in the uk is more of an issue than the food itself. british food can be incredible when it's actually cooked well

my parents can't cook for shit so the only culinary education i got was six months in year 8, where we maybe cooked six or seven things. i probably got six more months of education on the matter than most people though

Pretty bleak sometimes, but I'd like to try some. I do like shepherds pies, and those full english breakfast spreads look great. I was hoping to grab some Cornish Pasties if I ever made that trip to Michigan's upper peninsula happen. (They gained regional popularity as a result of miners immigrating from Cornwall in the mid-1800s)

when i had an exchange to this forsaken place i got Baked beans , Chips and a quarter Pizza , all in one soupbowl..

I'll be honest, their Chinese takeout looks pretty good. And I do eat some of their food, like fish and chips. If the "jacketed potatoes" are what I think they are, then that's a staple for sure. A bunch of dishes I eat probably came from Britain without me knowing

Like 10 years ago when i was a total lib and would listen to npr, I heard a food historian talk about how prohibition movement in the US destroyed the national culinary traditions and began the pivot into adults eating children's food. What I remember from it was, usa used to have respectable cuisine, prohibition destroyed normal restaurants, cant get that alcohol mark up any more- so there was never a time in us history where so many restaurants closed and so many new ones opened. All the new ones were 'family' restaurants, cause no one could sell booze, but they have food specifically for your kid now and thus began the introduction of bland, soft, sweet foods onto menus across n. America. It obviously took over and now tons of Americans eat a diet similar to what an 8 year old with sensory issues would prefer. No idea how the british fucked it up so bad though.

I will say that one of my favorite foods is salted tomatoes on toast, though that’s not even real British I don’t think.

Looks about white

Britain tends to excel at baking. Their pies (savory or otherwise), beef wellington, and scones are all tasty. Sausage is generally done better elsewhere, though. Not even disrespecting bangers and the like, I just think the Slavs, Germans, and Latin countries do better.

That’s not British poo. Beans and mash would not support self-standing, solid turds

Deep fried haggis pizza doesn't taste as bad as it should do.
Sausage rolls are great snacks.
Toad in the hole is a great way to use leftovers, especially with a nice onion gravy. Crisp sandwiches are the ultimate comfort food.

Most British food is pretty good tbh, the only problem is most Brits don't know how to cook.

Shit and chips. YUM!

I think across the board WASPs just can’t cook. The US also has infamous disgusting slop food made by middle-class white suburbanites. Hell, in the US we’re somewhat famous because here even the rich eat garbage, dress like garbage, and enjoy garbage. Us poors do so by necessity, but they do it by choice (AND anything even remotely worth a damn is prohibitively expensive to boot!)

their average pizza is somehow the worst I've ever had. full english breakfast is good but the irish do it better

I'd rather eat literal shit than anything made by an Anglo barbarian

spoken like a philistine that never enjoyed such delicacy as SMACK BARM PEA WET

I like Jacketed Potatoes, but you gotta go to a store that has the British version of Heinz beans with tomato sauce.

Always like Fish n Chips too, but I've probably never had proper Fish.

Scones and hot cross buns? It's a short list

Those look like double battered and deep fried mice.

Chevapchichi? Isn't this Coratian?
