oi m8, wot is your problem?! Ain't never had a crisp butty in the nooner meal?

it's interesting how britain's entire cuisine is based around a root vegetable from the new world, and their "national dish" is an indian curry
they quite literally have nothing of their own

A big English breakfast is amazing, fuck off. Good rashers, good sausages, good toast (preferably with beans, and Americans can't judge that because they have different beans), and you better fucking believe I'm having that black pudding. And white pudding if possible. Oh, are there fried potatoes? Yes please.

Wouldn't want it daily or I'd go Amerifat, but knowing that I can have this any time I want is a great thing.

I was just thinking about how I would murder each and every one of you for that sandwich and suddenly half of English history made sense.

Remember that the UK underwent fairly strict rationing at several periods in the 20th Century usually because of war. In fact, rationing was in place not only for the entirety of WW2, but continued until 1954 (in fact, post-war hundreds of thousands of German POWs were conscripted into fieldwork to make sure agriculture could continue).
Traditional UK cuisine got utterly battered by this.

Had welsh rarebit yet? It doesn't look that good but it fucking blows a cheese toasty out of the water. Ocassionaly i just start craving it.

>>16275555
The empire was a success lol. Sneed and cope.

>>16276236
Also the UK industrialised before other countries so they're more used to processed foods, tinned foods, etc., and that affected the food. Still, can't beat a roast dinner, Full English.

>>16276042
course there are you fucking flid

>>16276236
What a load of cope.

id say fish and chips, bangers and mash, a good fry up, a roast dinner with yorkshire puddings, and meat pies are all decent british meals

lasagne is originally english

>>16276343
The main problem in my opinion isn't the tastiness, but the health aspect

>>16276294
why did rationing only destroy the engl*sh "cuisine" if it happened in several countries as you claim?

The answer is that you live on an island of inbred manchildren, have always and will always be dependant on others for resources, food, culture etc - engl*nd isn't a real country. The Irish and the Scots, they have real countries, hope they remember and secede soon, making engl*nd even more irrelevant than it already is

>>16276357
Exactly, my country was starving to death too during and after ww2 but the real cause of the current state of British cooking is the absolute unwillingness of those fuckers, both men and women, to actually spend more than 5 minutes of using a microwave to have food

>>16276343

>>16273709
Where exactly did you get your British food?
Cause arguably if you want good British food you want to get my mum to cook you some stuff.
Like us Brits, we don't tend to go out to eat British food, we go out to eat all the other great stuff available.

There's tons of fantastic Indian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese restaurants all over the UK, and especially when you get into London, there's some of the best worldwide cuisine there.

But if you're looking for specific British stuff? You need my mum.

>>16276758
Okay yeah thats my bad, I didn't see bank.
>Is this what nocoiner seethe looks like? You can't accept that someone got any amount of money from flipping shitcoins?
Nocoiner seethe does look like that, but I'm not seething. You made 600k from pump and dumps and memes? Awesome, you're making bank, it's always a gamble which is why I don't seethe about it. I only seethe if I've missed out on something. This is coming from a poorfag by the way. I just don't like how cryptofags say they have whatever amount of money so they're rich when it's still sat in the crypto account ready to drop whenever, you cant use it until it's in the bank so it's worthless

>>16276342

Well, we judge recently a bit differently from you, considering our country is literally more than ten times older than yours.
I think the massive success of the London Olympics was pretty good though, less than ten years ago. Our Royal family making Americans obsessed is another. British celebrities permeate American culture. Being a fucking tiny island, and literally hosting the leaders of the seven largest economies RIGHT NOW.

And there aren't that many Brits around anymore, especially in gastronomy, so what is out there is international fastfood garbage mix, and at home you have Karens substituting butter for margarine.
There isn't anyone to develop local British cuisine, because anything that isn't chips and fish and other heavy foods won't be seen as genuine British in the spotlight of globalized culture.

>>16276847

>>16276847

>>16275749
>Eccles cakes
I sometimes buy Crawford's garibaldi biscuts at my Florida grocery, and no one in my family likes them, but I adore their lack of sweetness. They're like the way a fig newton should have been.

I think some English food is acquired taste, mixed up with nostalgia. I do think the sheer variety is missing a bit, and I can get the bad impression foreigners have of it, but I think it's a class line drawn in the sand to do with your upbringing and it's level of disposable income.

>>16276867
In my opinion the simple fact of eating on the sofa while watching the television is an indicator of a negative food culture: in my country families or what have you usually sit around for lunch or dinner at the same time and have a chat, so it isn't merely stuffing your face with food but also a social event

>>16276248
>Had welsh rarebit yet? It doesn't look that good but it fucking blows a cheese toasty out of the water. Ocassionaly i just start craving it.
I used to buy it frozen from Stouffers but they stopped making it.

>>16276832
>I could only see girls who were fat most of the time and dressed like whores, with tank tops and flip flops barely covering their fat; in general not a titillating sight
And, you did what on your trip except bars, restaurants and tourists? You were hosted by any locals to have dinner or some other social occasion? Let me ask you at home, if you also hang out with trailer part people and expect them to be college educated intellectuals? Know how many times I go to a bar each month? Zero, because my friends and family are more entertaining most of the time. Saying "I visited" a place is relative to what you do when you visit to give you that impression is my point. Talking to some people in the lobby outside of a conference is different than outside of a concert, just saying.

>>16276897
I meant on the street, I was there for a month for an English course and I don't really like going to bars or pubs. Of course in smarter places people were dressed better

>>16276934
Law's a tough one to get into though. It's supposed to be a respected subject, but unless you can get a training contract or pupilage you'll be 'in the industry' doing the worst drudge paralegal admin and not many other employers want you for anything else, just question your motives for wanting to work for them. The only people I know who made it in that field were either middle class and/or had parents who were already lawyers. The rest either settle as secretaries if they are women or paralegal if men.

UK is a place of extremes for food as well as economic opportunities and it's getting worse. Just look at the posts above about our food and women. 90% of it is shit tier and yet if you weren't lucky enough to have been born to the right family it is very tough to improve by your efforts alone.

Nobody who uses this meme knows what spices are.

Crème Anglaise is English (Oxford U has the earliest manuscript) and is delicious when made well.

Stichelton is a Stilton made with raw milk which, for that reason, can't be called "Stilton". Check out Neal's Yard Dairy for more outstanding Brit cheese.

Their apple varieties are pretty impressive as well.

Cold roastbeef with piccalilly or pickled onions/gherkins is underrated.

Some of their stews are pretty good, like cawl.

The stuff they're usually proud of (breakfast, fried fish,...) is utter garbage.

Such a warm feeling knowing millions of people are constantly thinking of me and the things I like and it triggers them to their absolute core. Meanwhile I never think about them. Accidentally got some shit on my thumb today when I was carelessly wiping in between posts waiting for my minute cooldowns. Kind of made me think of how lucky I am to be American and how if I lived in Europe I wouldn’t even have any toilet paper. They just have to use their hands unless you’re royalty.

It's still British as the thread asked.

Had rabbit, leek and mushroom pie with braised red cabbage and a couple pints of different ales in the pub on Saturday. After a nice walk in the Dales along the river and through woodland.

It's stuff like that which keeps me in love with this country, you can't find quite the same elsewhere. Sure there is stuff just as good, but there isn't that.

Anyway the pie was excellent, every bite was a joy.

Chip butty is using proper british chips, those look like steakhouse fries

needs butter on the bread
salt and vinegar not ketchup

>>16279377
I grew up in Germany, and UK cooking has similar tastes and tones as southwestern Germany's, minus some of the more exotic things like fried flowers. The flavor profiles are similar enough that UK food ticks off all my preferred palate boxes.

Ok Britanons, help my ignorance.

I once went to London, and wanted to eat the full English breakfast of legend. I asked several people where I could find a good one and literally nobody know what the fuck I was talking about. I eventually looked up on phone apps and picked one, it was really fucking good breakfast. But I always wondered why nobody understood me when I asked about it.

Then, recently, I start seeing this meme around where somebody ends up "wandering around London asking for a full English breakfast" and at this point I'm pretty sure you're just fucking with us.

That's strange actually - I lived in London for 3 years and everybody knew what you meant what when you said Full English, and I actually heard the English themselves refer to it as a Full English more often than not. To be fair this was in London, not sure outside the capital.

Freedom baby.

>>16286270
Stupid. Why wouldn't you also use this argument against decades of importing Chinese-made shit?

Full English is a specification for a breakfast usually, and you will find a 'Full English' next to say, smaller breakfast options on a menu ('Egg, Bacon and Toast' for instance)

Fry-up is a general term for a fried breakfast, just like 'continental' gives you a rough idea of what could be involved.

Mate, London is a fucking cesspool of miserable fuckers that don't care to help you. They knew what you were talking about they just didn't know why the fuck you were bothering them.

Yes this could have been my problem as well. When I first got off the airplane, the passport control guy said something to me and I didn't catch it. I said "What?" and he looked at me like I was a complete asshole and said "It's not what, it's pardon me" then grilled me for 15 minutes.

Beautiful city though.

Alright here's the real foundation for why british food is so shit, from a brit

1) Classism to this day - Most bongs pre 1900 were serfs which meant the only cuisine they had was boiled veg, meat and stews.
>Muh spices-
Spice was expensive back then and used for more rediculous wealthy dishes like blackbird pie.
This classism only got worse as different foods were seen as too posh/poor by the seperate classes. The middle class would be more interested in cuisine from other countries at this point.

2) Rationing got people used to processed food.
Britain was gimped by rationing from two world wars. People were expected to grow their own food which meant they grew whatever was common enough to be handed to them. I.e. again ingrediants for broths, stews etc.
People became ok with fake foods and processed substitutes.

3) Demands of a coal mine industry and london migration.
Britain had a heavy mining industry until the 90s
Miners needed simple meals so stuff like pasties became the norm. Plenty of migrants from across the world went to london after the wars, sparking anglicanized versions of their dishes e.g. Chicken Tikka Masala and lamb doner kebab. Most working class were quite literally working themselves to death in the mines.

4) Britain's binge drink culture encourages takeaways.
Bongs drink themselves to a stupor, a tradition kept from using alcohol as a cleaner drink than the godawful city water centuries before. Because of this and sport hooligan culture, they dont have the time or will to cook at home, let alone cook something decent. Just buy a kebab or chippy from the road.

5) education is shit.
Very few schools even teach cooking and with the rise of tv dinners, you've basically had multiple generations of people who ethier cant cook, or cook the absolute bland bare minimun.
This is why uk is the 2nd worst offender of obeseity and why bong celeb chef used to constantly do school cooking campaigns.

Thank ye for the ted talk.
