Why does bong food have such a bad reputation? Picrel is fucking god-tier. Irish sausages and bacon are way better than what we get in the US too. Also the milk, tea, chocolate and gin is much better.

I always though toad in the hole would be perfect as a superbowl food since it actually looks like a handegg stadium.

It's painfully average and i say that as a german.
I think what gives them bad reputation is not only the under average cuisine itself but also their snacking which is quite trashy.

a combination of memes and the contortions required by modern culture to shit on anyone. the UK has become a culturally acceptable target where few remain, due to historical factors, cultural exposure and more recent animosity from online communities due to Brexit.
There is nothing particularly notable either way about British "traditional" food, no more so than any other northern european country, and obviously cuisines from all over the world are easily accessible there.

Please, I can't take it; not all English people eat so inedible sludge. This is like saying all Americans eat bleached chicken. You have to understand that we didn't need to import niggers to create a festering underclass of scum - we simply created the conditions to facilitate the cultivation of subhuman populations. You Americans deal with your worst detritus by killing them with opium but we allow ours to ferment away and it's had a disastrous impact on society. In Britain, one is barely human if one does not cook.

Notmerican here. I like streaky bacon. Prefer it to the proper stuff, akshully. But, perhaps due to not being a native speaker of the language, I'm not sure wtf people mean when the say "chewy bacon vs crispy."
When I cook streaky bacon, it's crispy AND chewy. Do people mean floppy, rubbery, shitty bacon when they say "chewy" bacon?

I actually like British homecookery and especially their baked sweets. The homecooking is, admittedly, nothing too special, but it's not generally offensive, either. It's just various shades of brown and beige with an occasional bit or orange carrot and green pea tossed in to break the monotony.
Things that I do actually quite enjoy are mostly associated with Scotland and the north of England: pork pies, sausage rolls, cullen skink, scouse (if they actually add some fucking herbs to it; one stick of thyme and two leaves of sage for a whole pot just don't do the job), finnan haddie, potted shrimps, nontraditional lancashire hotpot (IE no kidneys) and cumberland sausage. Not to mention the cheeses. We can forgive all of Britain's sins against food just for their cakes and oft-overlooked cheeses.

because most people here buy the cheapest bacon they can get, which is usually pumped full of nitrates for curing. uncured bacon cooks much differently(and is more expensive), it ends up looking a lot better and not burnt. howeverbeit ive had people say my uncured bacon is gross, because theyre so used to eating cured, sugary slop bacon.

Uncured bacon is just pork belly that has been cooked in a brine bath like regular industrial bacon, except they use extracts from celery and other vegetables instead of curing salts. Actual cured bacon is smoked and rubbed with curing salts and then aged or “cured” for a period of time at a set temperature and humidity. Most major brands of american bacon don’t do this due to cost. As another note when you cure meat this way it breaks down some (probably not all) of the curing salts into less carcinogenic compounds.

[Anonymous No.19272750]

The reason is literally WW2. Not much attention is drawn to it in most country's curriculum but the UK was in a real bad fucking way at the end of it. Rationing didn't just last until the end of the war, it lasted for fucking decades. Their cuisine reflects this. You won't find pre-WW2 memes about how awful brit cuisine is, it only became that way when they were genuinely eating toast sandwiches out of necessity. They now have access to plenty of food like everyone else but the legacy remained and ingrained itself in the culinary culture, things eaten because that's all they had became things eaten because that's what "british food" is.

>Why does bong food have such a bad reputation?
Apart from it just being an overplayed meme. I think one of main reasons why it gets a bad rap is because of the aesthetics. British food always looks very brown and dull. Just lots of browns and earthy colours. Compare it other fancy looking foods, or goyslop fast food with its different colours and you can see how "boring" it looks. Our food is just very hearty in general. Which gives off the impression that it's flavourless and bland, even though it isn't.

>They think the pork and bread combo ("bacon sandwhich") was invented in the UK. Which is laughable.
>They think black pudding is British, while tiny Belgium has dozens of black pudding varieties, each with their own dishes.
>Same goes for eel recipes, jellied eel in particular. Which is a dish from the Charleroi region of Belgium
>Same goes for bangers and mash, which is just an adaptation of Brussels stoemp.
>They think Scotch egg is a British thing while the original comes from India
>They think beef Wellington is British while it's French of course. Since the 16th century.
Funniest of all: Crème Anglaise/vanilla pudding really is English. And it's delicious. Yet none of these cretins will ever name it as their favourite British dish. Because they think it's French.

Bong food has a bad reputation, despite having some good dishes, because 95 per cent of Brits have no idea how to cook. They do not try, and no one tells them how to. Tesco ready meals, over-cooked prawn pasta (yes both the pasta and the prawns), slop on toast, rice that was not washed so it has that nasty starchy texture, vegetables prechopped (the wrong way, just look at kale), "stewing" beef, pre-seasoned meats, the list goes on...

[Anonymous No.19273760]

Actual, non-meme answer? Rationing lasted a retarded amount of time so we had to deal with boomers growing up with american great depression-tier "cuisine" and passing on absolutely no culinary knowledge to their kids. Cooking is seen as a hobby compared to just buying an oven pizza from tesco or heating up a ready meal pasta bake like most people.

I think this is a good demonstration of why British cuisine has such a bad reputation. Anyone who knows much about British cuisine knows that 1. a pie sandwich is ridiculous and 2. almost every cuisine has some form of blood sausage. But if you're fundamentally not familiar with British cuisine, something as ridiculous as a pie in a sandwich might seem like it was an actual British dish to you, and you might be totally unaware of all the blood-based dishes around the world. (They're all very tasty, except the Chinese duck blood cubes they put in noodle soup IMO)
