Is there any win english food? And why did this cuisine evolved in a such a way most of food is unremarkable/lame?

I think sausage rolls are pretty based.

i think many english foods and cooking techniques are so ubiquitous that we don't recognize them as english.

Most white people have shitty taste buds. There are only 2 countries in all of Europe where the rest of the world likes more than a couple dishes.

I think Northern Europe in general has shittier food. Warmer and more Southern climates means more variety of food grown and better access to trading routes, hence more varied and quite frankly delicious foods.

They make pretty good meat pies and the like.

Yeah right, from Englanistan, maybe some kebob or some halal shit since you're too wimpy to kick those fuckers out of your nation... becuse "human rights."

GTFO!

Think about both World Wars. By the end of the second one, Britain was rationing all their food pretty extremely. It created a generation that was more used to eating things like margarine and saccharine instead of butter and sugar. If you look at British cuisine from before WW1, it's not half bad, if really similar to French. More recently, there's a growing trend of using local meat and produce, but this can be cost prohibitive for some people. Fine dining in England is great, and there's some pretty tasty cheap/pub food, but not much in between.

Traditional English food doesn't use many spices, relying more on the quality of the ingredients and garden herbs for flavour. There are also a lot of foods traditionally made by boiling or stewing, which when cooked improperly can create boring dishes, lacking in flavour or texture.
For people used to more richly spiced food, English food can seem bland - in addition, many people judge English food on cheap, low-quality dishes where the ingredients themselves are given no chance to shine, or that were developed specifically to save on food costs.
Most traditional English food is what people would just consider normal home cooking - roast dinners, pies, pasties, sausages, even 'meat and two veg'.

Beef Wellington
Bangers and mash
Black pudding (with a fried breakfast, hopefully with mushrooms)
Pie and Mash (from a proper cockney cafe)
Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
Pork pie
Fish and Chips

Although I have to say, as a britbong, we mostly eat Indian, Chinese and European influenced food.

Because England never had a proper peasantry, which is the reason for much of the delicious dishes in France and Italy
Here food had been something just there to fill you up for the day, rather than provide some kind of culinary pleasure

Sorry mate but much as it pains me and as much as it's delicious it comes from New Zealand and is a variation on the froggy bouef en croute.

You forgot to say historically.

I live in the midlands UK. My bananas come from Madeira, my asparagus comes from Chile. My fish comes from atlantic/pacific oceans or asian fish farms. My tomatoes come from Spain, my strawberries come from Mexico and my oranges come from the US.

Really the only things I buy in the UK that come from the UK are potatoes, meat and apples although beef sometimes come from argentina and lamb from New Zealand.

This is the reason why we are catching up, we are taking on dishes from around the world using ingredients that other countries have used for centuries.

Also

>>6064672

Is the reason why we are not producing unique meals the way other countries have in the past.

Our peasantry can eat in a way that their ancestors could only dream of. If you want meat every day with sweet desserts and wine it is a possibility because the cost of living is so cheap in comparison to the rest of industrialised history.

There is no need to create.

>> No.6064776

>>6064770

Forgot to add that we did have unique recipes but it was the mentality of WWII; that we all need to skimp on food to get by. That lasted well beyond 1945 and was the leading cause for historic food practices not being adopted back into society.

So slate British cuisine all you want, at least you know why we arrived there.

breakfast.

England may be a backwards country full of chavs with butter knives and a government run in the name of a senile autocrat, but they make a damn fine breakfast.
