Britbong here, why does our food fucking suck?
I'm so grateful to live in London where I never have to look down at a plate of meat and gravy slop or a shit meat and pastry product like pic related.

The love has been lost from alot of british foods with profit and price winning heavily over quality and taste. Mainly because the British are cheap fucks who'll say "It's just a ssausage roll how much difference can 80p make" but every taste test I do with my sausage rolls, scotch eggs or beef&ale pies I will win hands down but people still only treat themselves to food they want to eat occaisionally and regulalry pay less for food they don't want to eat. The difference between a well made sausage and some shit Wetherspoons all day breakfast sausage is a world apart and not only that but the way you cook sausages can vary and when you only pay for the lowest trained cook and cheapest ingredients you don't get care and attention to a craft.
tl;dr if your poor, lazy or uneducated (usually most fall into all three) your taste buds suffer if you care wheat you eat and how it tastes you'll find yourself starving at lack of quality choice.

British food inventions all seem to be born out of practicality rather than flavour or presentation. The sandwich, for example, possibly the most influential food innovation a Brit ever came up with, was just a way to make the food more portable.

I think it might be because cooking was seen as women's work, something effeminate, a trivial waste of time for men to be thinking about. While Italian chefs were twisting pasta into new and amusing shapes and experimenting with new ingredients, all of Britain's creativity went into manly pursuits like industry, science, trade, and war, leaving the food to women who were just expected to keep the working men fueled up and slightly drunk.

We do have an amazing selection of cheeses and ales, and I reckon we have desserts to match most other countries. Most of our good stuff is simple comfort food, and the best part about it is often the context it's eaten in (fish and chips on the seafront, ploughman's platter down the pub, roast dinner on a Sunday with family). I think you really have to be British to love British food because it's not the food itself that we love, it's the fact that it's British.

Amerifag of British ancestry here. I've been curious about the exact same thing. The answer that I always assumed to be true (and that most people provide when asked) is that British cuisine suffered due to rationing necessitated by both World Wars.

But I got to reading in Mrs. Beeton's (A cookbook from the Victorian era) and it mentions the poor reputation of English cookery--and this source pre-dates even WWI by multiple decades.

I think it's a very legitimate question, and one that I find quite interesting.

In brief?

War era rationing and industrialization.

Industrialization saw the disapation of a lot of the wild land where fish and game might be hunted, or even cultivated land where cattle might be grazed

The global beef market also drastically changed what sort of cattle you raise there.

The rationing from 2 great wars created a culture where shit like >>8773580

The french revolution and the rise of the proffessional chef as a service to the general public. In return for all bloodshed France got better food. In other European countries it's because farming is a bigger share of the economy and there are more small farms. Meaning people over there had better standards when it came to produce. Quality food was sacrificed for the cause and stability of the British Empire. Germany has the worse food after the brits and was also the second most powerful empire. It all checks out.

Fun fact, in ye medieval times as many if not MORE men worked in the kitchens. This is because kitchen work used to be quite (or rather, even more so than it is now) physical, involving a lot of heavy lifting and repetitive upper body motion. SUPERVISING the kitchen was the Lady's job yes, because she was generally involved in all the domestic supervision. But the actual cookery was fairly unisex, if not more slanted towards men.

Ignoring the paki op.

British food took a knife to the gut with the industrial revolution. So many families just uprooted and left behind their local culture that no one carried on the recipe books their ancestors passed down orally.

Another issue is that like the suit, good traditional British food has exported across the world. American's celebrate all their festivals with a Sunday Roast type meal. We don't consider it a uniquely British thing because every one else adopted it.

Modern British food doesn't suck generally, any more than any other developed nation. All food in the developed world is roughly the same quality. Most of it is imported from the same places and the quality of local ingredients depends more on freshness and preparation than where it was grown. How much time, effort, skill and money goes into your food is a far bigger factor in quality than which country you happen to be in.

As for famous British traditional dishes, we don't have as many of those as France for example, because while they were inventing French toast, we were too busy liberating them from the Nazis to invent an equivalent dish. Indians made curry, we conquered them. This way, we can enjoy curry too, but we get the added bonus of ruling them. I guess historically, we have just had different priorities and different talents. Italy invented pizza, Britain discovered and harnessed electricity, which led to the refrigerator and thus frozen pizza, making pizza widely available and convenient for everyone. Everyone has their talents.

Here's what is wrong with British food:

The entire spectrum of British cuisine is reminiscent of what a 5 year old kid would eat. It's fried food, pastries filled with meat, mashed or pureed vegetables, and all of it excluding a couple things are completely devoid of any form of sharp flavoring. There are little to no spices. The sharpest flavor found in any British recipe is going to be vinegar, a component of more complex sauces rather than a fully composed sauce or dressing.

The types of ingredients exclusive to the British isles can be exotic, but exotic in a disgusting way. Worcestershire sauce is made from molded anchovies. Fried and jellied eels are made from a slimy and insect like creature.

The only exclusively British food that is somewhat decent is usually 'imported' (stolen) from other countries like Tea (China) Tikki Masala (India) Shwarma (middle east) etc. The rare exceptions are the Full English breakfast, a shotgunning of traditional breakfast foods on a plate so that at least a couple of those items are going to please someone, beef wellington, which is a pastry filled with meat; a steak poptart. Cheddar Cheese is another but this cheese is orange, oddly colored.

You eat with your eyes first and ALL british food looks pretty disgusting. Meat pies appear as balls of bread with brown juice staining the exterior, the food is often boiled, giving a grey and muted color, curry dishes literally look like feces, the ales and ciders are yellow, tan, and various colors of brown to 'compliment' the dishes. There is no bright reds or vibrant greens to stimulate the appetite. Even the malt vinegar is an off-shade of purple dosing tan fish-sticks and tan fried potatoes. The only color you'll find is pale green mushed up peas.

See, you Brits don't have any consideration into the composition of your food. Unlike the French or the Italians or the Germans that have a sauce that can stand on it's own, British food is literally X + Y and you call it a day.

All of this food would be excusable, we all need to eat something even if it's a wholesome piece of bread and a chunk of meat slapped together; the Americans would call this a burger. But you're so fucking PROUD of your food it's laughable. Just like a 5 year old kid that slaps his hands in some mud would be proud of the mess they made, so too is the Brit that shoves a pig dick in a bread roll and calls it gourmet. I think after the last 200 years of fighting with the rest of yurope, they did a pretty good job keeping you in the dark of modern cooking techniques.

In the US, a huge part of modern cooking is both fusion and proper technique, and in the 1950s and 60s, the french method of cooking took over. Sauces are made with a base, they dishes in of themselves and they can stand on their own. it's not a bottle of vinegar thrown on some flora, and the vinegar sauces the US does have actually has peppers in it. It's also not based off of fermented dead fish. British foods have no time or care put into them, the longest recipe is a couple hours into the oven, not chilis or BBQ that takes a whole day to cook, not sauces or reductions that require hours of cooking, it's a loaf of bread thrown into an over until it's hot, done.

You're so defensive of your shitty food, and this thread is a perfect example. As if 'war rationing' inspired an entire British menu, and that would have been acceptable if you know, there was an actual war going on. As if food fit for a baby is anywhere near a culinary accomplishment. If you put as much time into your recipes as you did shitposting or pissing off the rest of the world, maybe British food wouldn't look and taste so revolting, and be the laughingstock of ever British post on /ck/

I really love British and Irish food. It's a real shame that the food culture here has disintegrated. You need to go to a nice restaurant now to have it cooked well. Barely anyone in Britain has done any real home cooking since 1960. You have to do your own research into classic British dishes before you appreciate them. It always pays to make real butter pastry. Get the right meat cuts for the dish and cook them accordingly. Learn to blanch and steam and roast vegetables properly and they are delicious. Lots of spices and herbs have been authentic to British cooking for hundreds of years.

And the lower classes just threw some shit they could scrounge from the gutter in a pot of grease or water.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that both American and British foods aren't that great. However, since Americans only have a handful of core American dishes, they feel the need to shit on Britain, who are the best target since they too only have a handful of core English dishes.
It strikes me as quite sad that both parties can't understand that their lower class foods are equally shit and the same applies to most other countries.
At the end of the day however, both parties will be quite happy to eat what either side call 'slop'. As the old saying goes, it's horses for courses. What works for you, won't work for others.

But that doesn't make any sense at all. The reputation for poor cuisine in England pre-dates the existence of the USA.

For example, the French have been using "a la Anglaise" to refer to boiling food for a long ass time.

And then you run into domestic English sources that repeat the same thing. Mrs. Beeton's cookbook that was mentioned earlier in the thread refers to the poor reputation of British food, and that was written by a Brit rather than some foreigner trying to put down the British.

>> that both parties can't understand that their lower class foods are equally shit and the same applies to most other countries.

I accept that just fine. In fact, that's why I'm so curious about this topic. Since every country has shitty food that it's infamous for, as well as great food that is well-liked, what exactly is different about British cuisine such that it gets this unfair label? Is it just random dumb luck or is there some kind of reason for it?

>> No.8783396

British cuisine and American cuisine are the same thing. Fried shit, roasted shit, sausage and bread, puddings, gravys. The only real difference insofar as the rest of the world can see is the british preference for meat pies.

>> No.8783408

People also have to realise that Britain is a small country that experiences the same climate.
As such, growing a wide variety of things is very challenging.
Britain also suffers from a lot of EU regulations (one of the reason farmers want out) that caused massive damage across the board.
For instance, Britain was forced to kill most of its apple variety, because it was vastly out competing Europe. EU legislation made sure that apples HAD to be cosmetically beautiful. There's standards for carrots too, they have to be of a certain size and washed. All these laws lead to a seriously fucked market, while mainland europe does what it wants.
Farmers aren't allowed to plough crops back into the soil if they think they're facing a loss, they're FORCED to harvest them and recycle them, a process that makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

The decline of British ingredients (what few are left) is quite the sad tale. I mean hell, read this:

Quoting Victorian sources isn't smart.
The lower class didn't have the cash to afford anything, so naturally the recipes found there will be bad. British bread was adulterated, people were eating chalk.

It's a massive juxtaposition to modern English cooking.

>> No.8783452

>>8783418

That book was directed at middle classes, if not higher. It describes the dozens of different types of servants that work in the home, what their jobs are, and how they are to be paid.

And I agree that modern English cooking is very different. But the point is that there is this bizarre reputation floating around and the question is where did it come from? In fact, Beeton's doesn't make the claim itself, it mentions that the poor reputation is well and widely known.

Personally I think that reputation isn't really deserved, but I am curious to learn where it came about?

Victorian age was the emergence of 'middle class' but ultimately it was still 'lower class' and 'upper class'
If you had servants, you weren't middle class, because you had expendable income. You were very much upper class.
Middle class was more like 'having money to spend on meat and sweets'
