When I was in the UK, they seemed underwhelming as hell. The price was usually nice and the fillings were okay as well. But the bread was atrocious. It was soggy, soft, had no bite, essentially a sponge with a vague hint of wheat aroma if you are lucky.

british food is neat and good, I agree as a burger, but west of the original 13 colonies nearly none of it is english inspired. People fail to grasp how those original 13 plus maybe Ohio and the older colonial areas are America 100%, and everywhere else is some lesser percentage. Today for breakfast I ate scrambled eggs mixed with boudain, serrano peppers and red onion. For dinner I'm making enchiladas like my mother very commonly did. Tomorrow I'll be making chicken fried steak, a beef schnitzel copy.

english food very comfy, but to me it's as different as iranian, even more so considering how many iranians we have in Texas.

It was probably invented independently in several different regions around the world, but the fact that it's in an English cookbook from the 1700's means that it could be considered English cuisine like the sandwich.

>Then again I can't imagine how their bread is supposed to be worse, sweeter maybe, but worse seems hard to achieve.

It was apparently invented or featured prominently for the coronation of the queen in 1953, hence the name. It's great drunk / hangover food, protein and fat with a bit of interest from the spices and sweet chutney.

It was intended to replicate the flavour of young Lizzie's minge, the ideal fantasy of every strapping English lad, exotic and slightly dangerous because the Royals are mostly German and their loyalties during the War were always at question. There's a similar story beyond Branston Pickle, which was invented in 1982 to replicate the appearance and flavor of her final monthly flows.

It's because you can't eat any of it on a regular basis without fucking yourself up.
All of the things mentioned are also simple to make and taste good right off the bat, which is not a bad thing but it's kinda like opting for the easy route, where anyone could pull it off and it'd still be "good", so it doesn't stand out as much. Same reason American dishes get shit on.
You could get most of these from Greggs or your corner chippy shop and to a random person, they wouldn't be all that different from a high end restaurant, not different enough to justify the price differences at least.
