Because it actually is shit and primitive. It all comes down to one simple fact. British "people" are subhumans. They are intellectually incapable of producing great food.
"B-but muh Sunday roast!" Yeah it's ok. It's a dish that is a standard staple in every other cuisine in Europe.

Because people think british cuisine is the same as post war rationing britain. This discounts the fact that actually we have adopted cusine from all over the world and adapted it to our tastes.

People undoubtably are going to say, but mexican and indian cuisine is mot british. To that i say is this authentic stuff like you'd find in mexico and india or is t our version. Invariably it is not authentic.

The other argument made is that these ingredients are not british and therefor it is not british. To which is say, chilli peppers are native to south america but are commonly associated with oriental food. Pepper corns are natively oriental but are used worldwide.

The argument that british food is either shit or is not british is fundamentally flawed logic.

This is irrefutable fact but please meme all you want, i'm sure your musings on a vietnamese basketweaving forum are a satisfactory retort in your mind.

British cuisine is bland, for some unknown reason they dislike using spices. No wonder why foreign food joints and fast foods are so popular there. I lived in England for a couple months and every market chain has an insane variety of spices, so there is no excuse. Frozen food is delicious and cheap though, but that alone can't be the sole reason.

>> No.9069536

>>9069524
They traditionally didn't have spices because they had other trade priorities such as exchanging tin for oils or pottery for wine, just as an example.

However the food is not bland because of their extensive use of herbs, and the knowledge of gravy and sauces brought to them early on by the French.

Some of the best herbs are actually native to Britain.

I actually enjoy a lot of British cooking, and I do a lot of it myself. However the idea that herbs are used extensively or that the gravy/sauces are highly developed is crap, honestly.

I kept hearing people talk about how good British cuisine used to be, but supposedly got fucked over by both world wars. So I sought out sources from before WWI. Mrs. Beeton's is a great example. It's actually shocking how few types of seasoning and how small the amounts of seasoning is in those recipes. A recipe that serves 10 people might have "a pinch of pounded mace and a teaspoon of pepper". As for variety? Not really. It's the same few seasonings used in everything. Pepper, mace, mushroom ketchup, and Harvey's Sauce easily covers the majority of it. A for the gravies: it's always render the juices from meat and thicken it with flour, add mushroom ketchup. There's hardly even a mention of using wine or reduced stock both of which are cornerstones of French sauce making.

Personally I think British cuisine has an undeserved reputation. I'm not trying to put it down at all. But honestly no, it does not rely heavily on herbs and spices. That's absurd. The Brits might have been dominating global trade for many many years, but all those spices were incredibly expensive. The very rich might have been able to afford them, but as far as general cuisine goes? Absolutely not.

But here's the thing; from my observations, native British people tend to be close-minded towards food in general. Every once a month, I go to a buffet restaurant with a surprisingly good selection of East/Southeast Asian dishes. Despite this, a good majority of the customers pick the same greasy, stodgy fare one gets in an average oriental takeout; chips, fried onion rings, fried fish, fried chicken, fried noodles, fried rice, egg foo-young, and so forth.

I'm not trying to put on airs and I don't want to generalise, but I find it a great shame that they paid good money for a table there and still couldn't buy their way out of their comfort zone. We eat what we are, I suppose.

That's not a tart or a pie.
Because it is a pudding as described by the people who originally made it. In Bakewell.

Interesting story:
It was allegedly ~supposed~ to be a jam tart, but some fuckups happened and this brown abortion of a thing came out.
But it was so delicious that it ended up becoming a signature dish for the place that fucked it up, then the entire town.

Fun Fact:
Bakewell 'Tarts' are an invention of the kipling corp. and technically exist only by brand saturation.
If you go into a bakery in Bakewell and ask for a 'bakwell tart' you will be brusquely informed that there is no such thing, and perhaps a supermarket would be more to your liking.

good job giving yourself a get out by saying that even if there is more variety, it doesn't matter because muh value judgement.

we have a food history that is closely tied to that of the french and so we share a lot of their traditions. we have great cheeses. smoked produce. game. pickles, chutneys. stews, braises, salads.

people get confused in anti-brit threads between historical brit cooking and the modern british home kitchen. i make no argument that modern brits are steeped in our historical traditions or have a close relationship with local and seasonal produce. but the faggots who think that we eat paste every day and it's in our genes are just spouting a self-loathing nonsense that came from us in the first place.

What makes the cuisine of a country great isn't only a few standout dishes or products. It's the amount of variety of standout dishes.
Yeah, England has some great cheeses. Go to a market in the French countryside. They have literally thousands of cheeses, all of which crush other European cheeses.

- meats and cold cuts or bread in Germany;
- cheese, wine, sausages in Italy.

I think what he means is that you see Polish-style sausages all over the place. Not ones that are literally made in Poland.

The point is that the recipe is so well regarded that it gets copied elsewhere.

That being said, it's not unheard of to find British sausages outside of Britain. My family is half British (Father's side). We've sometimes been able to get British-style "Bangers" from various speciality shops, but they're usually pretty crappy. I ended up learning to make my own instead.

Then again, I understand the same thing is a problem in England these days.

It's not relevant in the slightest given that they are different dishes prepared in different manners.

no you retard, ill admit when talking in brit threads i dont care enough to use proper punctuation, but the one brit food i actually like enough to make is a scotch egg, probably better than most of you guys, when I said proper i mean not boiling the egg till its unappetizing shit like in that pic, and obviously its not a scotch egg its in a pastry and the filling is like ham and potato or something, it looks like shit

Im actually on this board because I enjoy actual cooking so dont assume im some no-cooking faggot here for whatever reason you are

He said a scotch egg looks good but "that" (subject in picture) looked bad in comparison. The only way you could confuse the two the fact that he didn't put a comma which can leave open an interpretation that he said that the subject was also a scotch egg. So your only criticism is that he didn't have a comma. Unless you're a mind who secretly knows what that guy is really thinking and knows that he's actually lying. Basically you're refusing to give him the benefit of the doubt because of a grammar mistake. Which is pathetic.

it's not the comma. that would not change the meaning of the sentence anon.

it's the 'proper'. a 'proper' scotch egg is good. what bearing does that have on the photo? could it be that he thinks this pie in front of him is actually an 'improper' scotch egg? i think he does. and i think his reaction to it all only confirms my suspicion.

That it doesn't look good or appetizing like a proper scotch egg. Imagine if I saw a bad steak and compared it to a McDonald's hamburger. Does that mean I don't know what a steak is?

>could it be that he thinks this pie in front of him is actually an 'improper' scotch egg?
Yes but that doesn't make it a true or correct interpretation.

>> No.9073480

>>9073457

it is a non sequitur. he didn't simply compare the pork pie to a scotch egg on a conceptual level, he compared them on the basis of being properly made. i could see a properly made pork pie being compared to a properly made scotch egg. i could see it if they were both improper. i could see a properly made pork pie or scotch egg being compared to an improper version of the same thing.

but i can't see why he wanted to talk about a properly made scotch egg in comparison with an improperly made pork pie. why didn't he bring up a properly made pork pie, if he was aware of the difference?

i will come back and explain, when i said "proper" i was implying it had a soft boiled egg in the scotch egg, because I assume most brits would boil the egg to shit because you people apparently know jack shit about cooking, therefore i was stating a proper scotch egg like i make is good, not an improper one like you would make, which would probably be as shitty as that little egg pie in the pic

well that's the problem isn't it. he saw this thing he was unfamiliar with and said 'i willl compare it unfavourably to something i am familiar with'. so we don't know from that statement if it's a badly made pork pie or just inferior by virtue of not being a scotch egg. this is indeed something that people do all the fucking time - when they're ignorant.

we hard boil the eggs because we like to cut the pie into slices and serve cold as part of a picnic. we feel that hard boiled eggs are more appropriate for that purpose.
