Pretty much...

Bought one of these from a trip to Reading just to see why it's famous.

Regretted it on the first bite immediately.

Even it's Downunda cousin Vegemite is much of the same.

Apparently it's what sailors ate on long trips to prevent Scurvy and Colera.

All I'll say to that is that we're living in the best generation of humanity.

American cuisine consists of naming fast food chains.

What did you have for breakfast?
McDonalds.
What did you have for lunch?
AppleBees
And for dinner?
KFC and then DunkinDonuts for dessert.

And when it's not some fast food chain, it is some meme food creation that consists of layers lots of cheap meat and cheese in a bun.

And when it's not that, then it's come casserole that turns out to be a botched and much inferior version of an actual recipe from the old continent.

Hope you remember this comment, when you are shitting your guts out in some trench in the next armed conflict that your shit country will engage in, after having ingested the plastic MRE provided by Uncle Sam.

1. All Protestant states have simple food because of puritanism and stuff. Simple life, praising god, no frills.

2. Britain also industrialised first so it established a culture of eating processed food first.

3. British food isn't all bad. Roasts, fish and chips, pies. Also Britain has a great tradition of baking, with an extraordinary number of delicious sweet biscuits, puddings and cakes.

I think it's great. I like simple food, like good bread, cheese, and sausage. I'm pretty sure they invented or at least popularized sandwiches and hamburgers, so the popularity of English food is extremely underrated.

I think the problem is their empire has been collapsing for decades. They're too decadent and consumeristic, so most of what you see people eating is junk food, street food, and foreign takeout - various kinds of fast, takeout-type food.

Boomers raised by WW2 parents. Younger people put more effort in but the old like bland shit because it's what they were raised with, because their parents had 2 ounces of butter and 4 ounces of meat a week and had to make it last. My granddad just yesterday wanted me to make a cottage pie that was just unflavoured in any way mashed potatoes atop browned mince and onions, without even salt or pepper. I made it properly, with a gravy and he liked it but said he preferred just bland minced beef and potatoes. Can't fix a 92 year old's taste though.

I also had to take over because he can barely stand and shouldn't really be using the oven, but I walked in and he was pouring rancid oil from one of those spray things into the onions that was 12 years out of date.

Their modern cuisine and food culture was born out of severe WWII-era rationing and scarcity. So their food culture evolved into poverty cuisine and never changed. And unlike other famous world cuisines like Italian food that were also born from poverty and scarcity but ended up elevating it to something greater, the Brits were content with just eating dull poorfag slop.

And of course their coping mechanism is to deflect onto Americans for being rich, having excess, and more food options than the Brits can ever dream of.

To quote Douglas Adams:
>There is a feeling which persists in England that making a sandwich interesting, attractive, or in any way pleasant to eat is something sinful that only foreigners do.
>"Make 'em dry," is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, "make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week.''
>It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They're not altogether clear what those sins are, and don't want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever their sins are they are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.
