brits are good at pies - nothing else

Excellent thread

Good times, another keyword to add to my blocker list "unironically." I might block my own post, good times!

>>7122754
Incorrect.

Try more varied northern food. Black pudding, panacalty, Ham with Pease pudding, that sort of thing.

Also, try some of the huge variety of cakes and biscuits. Date and walnut loaf is a particularly good example of old fashioned British baking.

>>7122750
>implying any of that is even inherently british save the pudds

>>7122750
There's loads of variety! You can pick red sauce, brown sauce, white sauce, or yellow sauce to go with your beans and toast.

>>7122750

>claims british food isn't bland and has variety
>posts the same plate of slop in every thread as though the rest of the world would think it's something special

The UK's finest sandwich.

>>7122760
>Pease pudding

You're not one of those "skip London and spend your 4 week Euro trip in Harrogate!" guys are you?

>>7122754
>americans are good at burgers, nothing else
>italians are good at pizza, nothing else
>japan is good at sushi, nothing else

great thinking bruv

>>7124376

Those three countries have dozens of unique foods they do really well.

Half the time Brits attempt fish and chips they fuck it up.

>>7124376
>italians are good at pizza

lmao, sure if you want some burnt ""artisan"" bread with a bit of bland tomato paste spread on, one massive chunk of 'rella, and some basil sprinkled on

Me? I'll pass on that.

>>7123636
Yeah, this. I'm british and I think we have some fantastic food but a fry up, while undeniably tasty, is like drunken moron tier midnight snacking.

I love british food but I fucking hate gastropubs

>fish and chips
>like 7 triple cooked chips and a small piece of beer batter fish served on a piece of wood

>Cost: £15

>>7124405
>looked up Kerridge's place because surely he gives you a proper meal
>literally exactly what you described

Fuck.

Those chips look pretty good though.

>>7122754
>good at pies - nothing else
lad pls, we've dominated breakfast for years tbH faM

>>7124418
Tasted nice but I am sick of food being served on a plank of wood. What's wrong with plates?

>>7124422
I fucking hate this, went to this italian place, prezzo; got a pizza and it was legit one of the worst pizzas I've ever had, crust was burnt to shit, sauce and cheese were okay but toppings were basically just put on the pizza after cooking, so when you try to cut the pizza, the burnt crust results in all of the toppings being dragged off, didn't fucking help that it was served on some piece of shit wood that would slide when you put any force on it...

Artisan or not, it was a pile of shit.

>Cornish Pasty
>Lancashire Hotpot

All top tier m8

>>7122754

The quality of the pie crust is complete garbage compared to literally any european country, the meat inside the pies are just scraps that should've been thrown away.

British "Pies" are literally poverty food for farmers in devon/cornwall and for the destitute masses after WW2 bombings.

Fish and chips is alright.

>>7124418

pakistani owned shops give you the same quality for 4quid, plus drinks included.

>going to a fucking restaurant for fish and chips
>paying more than a couple of quid for that shit

It's like going to nandos and paying 10quid for a single chicken breast and 1/2 cup of fried rice and a single tortila roll.

>>7122750
I've never met a non-white person that said they liked any British food besides fish and chips. Even most white people don't like it

>>7124418
>Kerridge

I want to be his friend ;_;

>>7124434
>when you try to cut the pizza
Why were you tying to cut the pizza? Pizza is meant to be eaten with your hands without requiring the aid of a fork and knife.

Scones are nice, but clotted cream is absolutely godly. If you've never had clotted cream you need to drop whatever bullshit you're doing right this minute and go to the fucking store to sort your life out. It's the cream of cream.

>>7124539
Me too, I bet he's an absolute riot when he's smashed.

>>7124548

Only a britshit would think scones and clotted cream taste good, no, not just the average britshit, but the fucking redneck hicks from devon and cornwall.

I dunno how that shit is considered food down in the south, thankfully manchester doesn't tolerate none of that shit.

>>7122750
So, uh..... two sausages, baked beans, ... mashed potatoes????, an egg, mushrooms, and what I'm hoping is blood pudding and not burnt meat patties or something.

I'm not sure what's so great about this, dude. Like, I'm sure there's plenty of good British food, Jesus, but that doesn't seem like it'd be worth bragging about. Just seems like they had surprise company, dumped whatever was in the cupboard and fridge into some pans, and prayed no one would call them on their shit.

>>7124571
>Hating on based Clotted Cream

You should be deported fucking scum

>>7124548
>the cream of cream

Lolwut

Seriously though, clotted cream really is pretty tasty. Especially if you have it with jam too. Thankfully where I live in the USA its not hard to acquire.

>>7124544
Pizzas in italien restaurants aren't cut in pieces if you don't tell them to do. You're thinking of take-away pizza places.

>>7124627

He's parodying the french phrase "crème de la crème" you uncultured shit

>>7124571
>manchester

top laughs mate, enjoy living in a literal shithole

Fantastic variety of cakes, custards, boiled sweets
Smoked fish, fish and chips, potted spiced shrimps
Meat pies, hotpots, stews with dumplings
Roast dinner
English breakfast
Black pudding
Cream tea
Loads of different cheeses too
Ciders, perrys, gins, damsons, sloes etc
All the british curry recipes
There's a shitload to british food. most people just forgot how to cook after the war, rationing fucked the diet
It isn't any worse than, say, german food but obviously it isn't as good as the mediterranean stuff because it's always fucking cold and raining

>>7124710
This plus suet puddings that everyone stopped cooking because of the legacy of rationing you mentioned, plus "muh low fat! muh cholesterol!".

>>7123902
A+

>unironically

get wrecked, kid.

>>7124643
I know what he was parodying, it just sounded funny when put that way.

Go have some tea and relax. Maybe take out the buttplug.

>>7122750
British cuisine is actually pretty tasty and diverse in general, but all of them will still try to convince you that "beans on toast m8" is the apex of British dining.

Is the english breakfast the only thing brits eat? It's the only thing I ever see posted.

>>7125200

They take pride in eating high fat garbage mixed together.

The sandwich was invented in England, so all you fucks can fuck off.

>>7125354
Like all first world western countries. Besides that, I'd rather feel proud than oblivious or depressed and helpless.

>>7125200
Nope it's only the occasional treat unless your a fat fuck, I have it maybe once a month/every two months

>>7122750
I've never had black pudding and I feel like I'm missing out.

God damn that looks amazing. Nearly every restaurant around here that has fried fish uses catfish. The one reliably good place for fish and chips here in Nashville went out of business a few years back. Miss it.

>>7125943
this is what happens when they give the FoH manager too much say

>>7125200
brit here, I have a poached egg on a toasted bagel with a smoked mackerel fillet for breakfast. fucking lovely.

What is the sausages in these pics called?

>>7127282
Generic breakfast sausage. Probably pork.

>>7127282
Cumberland

>>7127282
I don't know the name, but if it's a british breakfasat sausage it's probably pork seasoned with sage and pepper.

Scotch Broth
Poundies
Welsh Rarebit
Irish Stew
Yorkshire Pudding
Black Pudding
Pork Pies
Fish & Chips
Cawl
Cornish Pasties

I could go on forever but there is so much good food in Britain, and I'm not even Brit.
Ya'll are just jealous that they kicked ass at everything else so you try to look for something they're shitty at, and you fail.

>>7124372
No, they're the ones that go to Egypt or other islamic nations for vacations without realizing that by going there they're part of the problem.

Chippy fish and chips is better than literally any restaurant/pub fish and chips

Brits invented toasted bread innit? That's something.

>>7124418
Been there a few times and I really enjoy the menu and the restaurant.

I think the service isn't up there with other 2star restaurants (especially on the continent); but then again it is a pub restaurant and wishes to keep that vibe.

The prices are very competitive given the standard and presentation of the food,

>>7124571
Fuck you clotted cream is awesome!

Yeah no, IDC where you are from. If you have that stuff as a typical breakfast every morning, then you'd be farting super bad all day.

>>7128016

They don't

>>7128016
Speak for yourself m8y. I eat a full fry-up every morning, have done for the last fifteen years or so, and I fart remarkably rarely. The amount a person farts is a reflection of their intestinal fauna. I guess yours is pretty shit.

>>7128185
You ever tried Jerusalem artichokes? They're nice just roasted with a little oil like you would spuds, and you'll launch your bedsheets clear across the room.

My whole family came down for breakfast like startled deer the next morning.

>>7127375
Pretty much every negative British stereotype applies even more with the Irish (apart from colonizing the world). The weather is worse
The food is worse etc

>>7127979
It's called a bun.

A bread bun if it's been naughty and you need to use it's full name.

>>7122750
Well, the restaurant scene in the UK has been thriving and growing far faster than any other nation I've seen. Maybe because we were late to get in the game?

Cas in point, I'm popping of to Hedone again this weekend. Looking forward to it, their bread is excellent and the pigeon and foie gras mousse is perfection.
