/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why can’t they make good food. I don’t understand the British. What the fuck is wrong with them in general. Why are totally fine with having a dystopian surveillance state? How did they manage to go from ruling the world to being poorer than fucking Ireland in less than a hundred years?

Sunflower halva is both delicious and not English. Are you even trying?

>>17672106
They gave everyone their countries back

>>17672059
Thats a fucking brick.

>>17672390
I assume this was a bait thread to make people say how op picture looks brown and awful. and then op says how this is really indian/turkish cuisine

>>17672106
Oh, hush. They make plenty of good food, it's just not fancy or exotic food. It's simple comfort food.

The people you think of as "British" (I.e. Most of the House of Commons, the Royal Family, et al) are, in fact, Frankish-Normans descended from the eponymous William the Conqueror and his peers. The general population, the "native" anglos are a naturally subservient and dimwitted slave race.

Stop using words you don't understand

How about you stop being so aposmatic about language on fucking 4chan of all places?

There is plenty of great English food but its not flashy, just stuff like great pies, roasts, stews etc. English cheddar is one of the best cheeses in the world. Ignorant people will pretend like English food is fish head pies, toast sandwichs and jellied eels but those are novelties.
I would take a proper English roast over mexican slurry or Asian rice paste any day

I'm English and there is plenty of English food I like well enough - a good roast, fish and chips, pork pies. But it does sadden me that with the exception maybe of beer and cheese, we really haven't elevated food to the level that the French, Italians, or Japanese have. It's weird in some ways because we have all the natural produce you could dream of, but almost no one is prepared to do anything interesting with it.

Never been to England but sausage rolls always look like good drunk/hungover food, I wish they were common in the US

>Trolling outside of /b/

>brekkie
full english breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, beans, mushrooms, black pudding and toast
maybe sub the toast for some crumpets or (english) muffins
>lunch
sandwich (invented by the english) ham and cheddar cheese with a slice of pork pie, a scotch egg or sausage roll
>tea
scones with clotted cream and jam, nice cuppa earl grey tea
>dinner
shepherds pie, toad in the hole or a full roast
>desert
rum and raisin bread and butter pudding

third worlders and pseuds will never appreciate it but its comfy.

Sort it out lad.

>>17672059
Let's go bowling!

Only real lads will remember this.

british food is MAXIMUM comfy
I'm only visiting but I didn't even bother with restaurants yet because the supermarket has so much tasty stuff

I try like every kind of pie, pasty, and sausage roll in the oven and they're so good bros

also the ready meal section btfo's american supermarket's
lots of indian dishes, shepherd's pie, etc.

and I did not know pork pies were eaten cold / room temp. branston pickle is pretty good. I want to try more chutney and things like that. recommend me british sandwich or cold/lunch stuff bros

>>17674708
If you've not had a Scotch Egg yet that is well worth it. Make sure you get a nice premium supermarket one, the cheap ones are still tasty but can be a bit skimpy on the pork

>>17674840
Should add like Pork Pies they are best cold/room temp. In fact (somewhat controversially) I would argue that most pasties, slices, and sausage rolls are better cold or at room temp. Try both and decide - there are lots who would argue both ways.

>this thread yet again
Sad

>>17675170
literally nobody does this

>>17675197
Lol yea right, ill bet you stupid bifsteks all make a this everyday hehe mdr

does Piccalilli go on sandwiches

what kind of chutneys or pickled or preserved vegetables are good on sandwiches

I notice some chutneys are like 50% sugar by weight so I am confused what they are for lmao

>>17674708
Picalilli. Stick some of that on a ham sandwich. Or a good old ham, cheese and Branston if you like that? Get some good cheddar cheese and a big, crusty loaf of bread.

Cheese on toast too. I like mine with loads of Lea and Perrins sauce. In fact it would be criminal to make cheese on toast without it.

>>17675507
>>17675250
Ha if you are this guy >>17674708

Then I didn't read all the way to the end before replying. But yeah, see my reply for Picalilli recommends.

Are the ones you are looking at wih sugar Jams or preserves? Like fruit, strawberry, blackberry etc? Just spread them on toast, typically eaten as breakfast time.

>>17675250
Pickled onions are also the GOAT on sandwiches.

-Angus
-Galloway
-Stichelton
-Court of Wick, Doctor Hares apples, Williams and Conference pears
-Crème Anglaise, custard, pudding is English.
-https://www.quickes.co.uk/ and https://rareteacompany.com/ are respected international institutions.
-So are these: https://thewhiskeywash.com/lifestyle/independently-owned-scotch-distilleries/

For everyone else there's fish, chips and curry.

We invented the fucking sandwich and you lot have the nerve to slag off our cuisine

>>17674708
Based lad. Try some of the snacks and candy too, like cheese & onion crisps, pork scratchings, crunchie bar, wispa.

>>17675197
In the 70s they did.

>>17675671
ok boomer

>>17672059
What makes halva so high-calorie? It's just seeds.

>>17675698
It's pure seed.

>>17673239
these are so good

>>17672059
How can white people eat like this?

>>17672059
It's a matter of culture and mindset, really. On one hand, you have world-class Michelin star chefs, on the other you have the sorts of people who think a Carbonara is high class cuisine. There's a lot of good stuff you can do on this island if you put your back into it and some of the English do, but most prefer to gush over how good cheese and onion crisps are.

>>17675698
It's like a 30% fat and 50% sugar.
