>I know we laugh at the British and their cuisine all the time

Only if you're Australian.

Plenty of murricans do it too. I'm not one of them though. It fascinates me, because a lot of it is the same ingredients and flavors that we use here, but they do totally different things with them.

I'd love to try some of the traditional stuff, like Cumberland sausage, Lancashire hotpot, bangers and mash, or a Cornish pasty. Even just a ploughman's lunch at a pub with some nice ale.

>>5550094
or any other country

>>5550097

Plus you have Indian restaurants up the ass.

>Plenty of murricans do it too.
No, those are Australians pretending to be Americans or Canadians. This whole topic was discussed last night in depth and the truth was found. Most Americans and Canadians are open minded and friendly, not like those bogun cunts.

Yeah well I missed that thread so here's another one!

I've tried to make some of the basic stuff but it's funny how hard it is to get certain basic British foodstuffs without ordering online. Like if you do a bacon sandwich, you can't just use what we think of as bacon here, it has to be backbacon, which isn't as common in stores. And HP Sauce you have to get from an international foods store unless yours has a good section for that (mine just had an off-brand of brown sauce).

Or even freaking beans on toast - you can get the proper Heinz beans (at like over $2 a can!) and bread and butter.. but if you want 'mature cheddar' then that's totally different from the orange blocks you get in the dairy section of Walmart or wherever. And even the gourmet cheese section may not have it.

And don't even think about trying to get real British sausages here.

Here we go again.

>buying food at Walmart
Do people other than ghetto trash actually do this?
I've lived in the US for most of my life and have never even considered buying my groceries at Walmart. I think I've gotten an energy drink there once while picking up batteries.

>>5550092
nigga we have that shit in /k/anaduh eh!
one of my favorites was when lays did a trial run of fries & gravy flavour my fucking god were they ever delicious!!

>>5550155
had some ketchup flavored chips in canada once while on a fishing trip.

oddly tasty. had a tang reminiscent of vinegar.

>>5550159
thats the thing in /k/anaduh is EVERY brand of chips has their own flavor of ketchup
like what you said sounds like you had LAYS ketchup chips
and old dutchs ketchup chips taste more like actual ketchup
and so on and so forth
so buying "ketchup" chips from any brand is always different

I'm English and I still can't quite believe Americans don't (from what I've heard from an online friend) have meat pies. You are missing out big time.

>>5550171
i also still wish Extra Foods/SuperStore grocery
still had their $1 roast chicken chips
shit was godly

>>5550131

Wow, that's all you took from my post? I feel sorry for you

>>5550178
We do, but we call them shepherd's pies, pot pies, or Hotpockets if you live in a trailer.

>>5550187
You blatantly mentioned Walmart. If you didn't realize the obvious association you should be ashamed of yourself and consider returing to school.

>>5550178
idk about murica but we have that shit in every grocery in kanaduh
love getting those cheap chicken pot pies for like a $1 theyre good bang for your buck

>>5550187
>mentions walmart
>ZOMG IM NOT TALKING ABOUT WALMART

jesus what the hell is wrong with you

>>5550189

We have shephard's pie here too, although really it's not a pie, there's no pastry.

You don't have things like steak and kidney pies or chicken and mushroom pies though do you?

>>5550178
I have this strange theory that Americans naturally associate pies with desserts, while the British tend to have a relatively broader view on what can go into a pie.

>>5550201
Yeah, pot pies. around here its considered low-class/southern food.

I actually love chicken, pea and mushroom pot pies.

>>5550201
We don't just have shephard's pie, shephard's pie and cottage pie and specifically British cuisine that was invented here.

And though technically a pie, I don't really see it as one either. It's just too different from what is generally seen as pies (a pastry dish).

>>5550241
>are specifically*

>>5550201
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_pie
Ours are different than yours, in the ingredients obviously, but also in design. An American pot pit can't be picked up and eaten like a pastry. They are essentially a stew of sorts with a flaky crust over the top of the pot containing the foodstuffs.

To the bloke who wanted to know how to Lancashire hotpot
From what I gather it's fairly simple:
>fry onions, (and optionally carrots and celery) until golden
>remove from pan, and fry lamb, in 1inch cubes until browned on all sides
>make a roux
>place roux, lamb and vegetables into a baking dish
>add red wine, ale, cider or apple juice
>peel about 1kg of potatoes. Slice into pieces about as thick as an HB pencil
>arrange on top of the meat and veg
>bake at 200C for an hour or so, until potatoes are crusty on top and soggy below
>Enjoy with white, crusty bread, ale and a bitter salad (beet tops, frisee and kale is good)

>>5550104
Link?

>>5550097

>bangers and mash,

Really dont get the american fascination with this, its literally a kids meal exclusive item over here.

>>5550171
Lays also has a distinctively different flavour of Dill Pickle from Old Dutch.

>>5550104
I'm 100% red blooded American and read my post.

British cuisine is a motherfucking joke.

you oblivious fucknut.

>>5550194
where do you shop for groceries?

>>5552977
9 out of 11, would not pretend to be American with.

>>5552346
I like the potatoes as thick as a 2H pencil.

>>5550118
This post made me thank jesus I live in Canada. No HP Sauce? No old cheddar? Damn!

>>5552402
You can still make a decent meal out of it.

>Cumberland sausage
>creamy homemade mashed potato
>onion gravy (or plain beef stock gravy with a side of caramalized onions)
>steamed vegetables
>fried chestnut mushrooms

I wouldn't say no to it.

walker's chips are great.

the ketchup ones are good, so are the roasted chicken. I don't even eat american chips anymore

>Americans shitposting

Color me surprised. Fucking /ck/ went to shit.
