Can someone redpill me on why Britbong cuisine is so shitty? It's literally fries, chips, pub food, and tea.

Even southern American soul food is better than this shit, hell every other country AROUND Britain has better food and food culture. Why didn't British food culture evolve?

British cooking and northern European cooking in general tends to be simple and straightforward. This is due to puritan social attitudes and values. The food god gave us is delicious enough cooked in a basic way without messing around with. Britain also went through the earliest and roughest industrialisation which may have affected eating habits. Many families during this time ate almost nothing but bread. You can imagine that life in the countryside would've allowed people greater access to vegetables, and the passing on of knowledge about cooking. England especially also has a very high population density, meaning more competition for resources, and less time for unnecessary messing around when it comes to food. So it's understandable why British food seems worse, but there are some things to be said for it. It's true that meat, potatoes and vegetables, simply roasted and boiled, is a delicious meal. You don't need myriad spices and herbs and cooking techniques to make good food. Also a big part of the picture people leave out is sweet food. Britain makes delicious cakes and other sweets that seem to be ignored for no reason. And lastly, what about cheddar? It's one of the most popular cheeses in the entire world. It's not fair to just say lol fish and chips.

Literally all of your "typical dishes" exist in other cultures but massively improved.

Every western European country (and probably most of the countries in the world) do whole roast with vegetables in the same tray. The sauce you guys use in Sunday roast is absolutely disgusting: it's bland but super sweet.

Every country with coast in the Atlantic ocean does floured fried fish, and they do it way better than you. And I mean WAY better.

I grew up in Essex. I'm not sure what "sunday roast" you've had, but I can assure you that the gravy is never sweet in the slightest, and even the shitty packet mix like Bisto is very savoury.

>>floured fried fish
I'm not sure what you're on about there. English fish and chips is battered, not floured.

i had the misfortune of living in england for 2 years and having a company meal every day, and it's bloody awful. It's like britbongs have no fucking clue what actually is a good food. The worst offender is that everything is just either extremely bland or has too much overpowering flavour, there's barely any middle ground. Like i go to work and the dude making the food does a sunday roast and every fucking thing is bland, it's got no flavour at all. On top of it, everything is dry as fuck, so he gets this gravy made out of a packet and smothers everything with it with this fucking grin on his face like "aye pal, that a job well done".

I hear this a lot, but it's simply wrong.

First off, the poor reputation of British food pre-dates even WWII by decades. See the Victorian era cookbook Mrs. Beeton's Guide to Household Management. It discusses the absymal reputation of British food.

And Second, the French and the Germans had worse rationing experiences than the British did, yet their cuisines did not suffer the same blows to their reputation.

I'm sure that rationing didn't help matters, but it's certainly not the key issue to blame.

Mint sauce was fucking disgusting and one time we ate English breakfast, ham and eggs was okay not much you can fuck up there but what they call sausage in england is fucking abhorrent, some kind of gelatinous thing with trace amounts of meat.

Now, I'm half Anglo half Irish, and I object to saying British cuisine is worst than every country, on the grounds that Irish cuisine is literally the exact same but with somehow even less variety and more potato.

And lest you forget that all-american dish, apple pie, originated with Britbongs.

I've got a book by some historian woman who spent a year "living as a Victorian".

She claims in it that the bland Victorian food becomes appealing when you live in those conditions, i.e. getting up in winter in an unheated room with no carpets and ice forming on the inside of the windows then spending a day doing industrial amounts of laundry by hand while wearing a corset, she didn't even want anything spiced but was craving plain boiled meat/taters and stodge with jam on.

As an anon upthread says, the Victorian poor often only had bread to eat, day in, day out. And a lot of that flour was cut with chalk, brick dust and other random shit. Malnutrition in Victorian England was the worst it had ever been, there was a North Korea-South Korea level height difference between a twelve year old working class boy and a twelve year old Etonian.

So picture that, you've got generations of people growing up knowing NOTHING about cooking because all they get is bread and MAYBE a little bit of bacon once a week if they're lucky. The only ones who had any idea how to cook were the women who went into service cooking for middle and upper class households.

Another factor that people seem to forget with old recipes is that in those days there was no such thing as factory farming and as such the flavor of the ingredients was far superior to todays' industrial supermarket garbage.

I love British food. But that doesn't mean that it's not fairly bland. And I find the whole ""britsh food sucks" reputation to be intellectually interesting.

(see >>10477686) I don't find the food bad, I'm just curious where the meme comes from.

The French fed this propaganda to hurt English cheese exports, since they were competitors in that field. They like to just shit on their eternal rivals too, like how we mockingly call French people frog eaters.
The Italians also fuelled it since the English invented 'Italian' dishes like lasagne and they don't want anyone to know, anyway, it's not like they have much of a leg to stand on when their cuisine is 90% pasta.
The Germans are the only people who really compete with the British in the sausage field, so they also fuel the myth for that reason.
There's also the fact that the British Empire didn't really control that much of the herb & spice trade versus other empires like the Dutch, so the continental aristocracy and Dutch traders would describe non-spiced food as bland and boring so that rich people would buy their imports as a point of pride and mock those who didn't use those products. You'll also note that the British are the master of sweets because they controlled so much of the sugar market in the past.
Let's not also forget that everyone was jealous of the British Empire, so it was convenient to be able to say, "Well at least our food is better", even if that wasn't the case.

Sounds potentially credible. Got any sources on that?

It sounds like you're shotgunning a bunch of theories out there in the hope that one of them sticks. It sounds plausible but where is the documentation to support it?

Another very plausible theory:
-The British empire, which was enormous in the Victorian days and before--created a lot of opportunities for comparison between British cuisine and the cuisine of the colonies. Since British cuisine had very little spice (due to the weather of Great Britain) compared to that of the colonies who wer often in tropical regions, those comparisons would often yield the obvious conclusion: Brit food is bland. In other words, only a very rich Englishman could afford much in the way of spices, but even a dirt-poor coloinal in a tropical region could.

...also very plausible, but again, no documentation.

What do you expect? England to have completely different flora and fauna from all of its neighbours?
By that logic, pizza/tacos/burgers are shit because they're all meat and stuff on top of bread. For example, Portguese egg tarts (flaky pastry and cinnamon), Chinese egg tarts (flaky pastry and unsweetened) and English custard tarts (shortcrust pastry and nutmeg) are all pretty much the same but that doesn't mean they're not all really nice.

It's literally only about getting in calorific content.
Britain is the only place in world that I've eaten fast food regularly, their own food is simply inedible.

Beef baked in an oven, with potatoes covered in lard and baked in an oven and pancake batter baked in an oven served with boiled vegetables and the grease from the meat thickened with flour is "nice"? Right.

Kind of, but it's usually sickeningly sweet which makes sense because it's children food.

>roast beef
tasty
>potatoes roasted in lard
very nice, goose fat is even better
>yorkshire pudding
the filler, quite pillowy but nice with gravy etc.
>boiled vegetables
sad, roasted vegetables are much better
>gravy using the meat fats and juices
