Current Events > Why does England have such nasty food?

(+) Yeah! (+)

circled gross

---

Beans and Tomatoes are fine but yeah Black Pudding is gross and more of a Northern and Irish thing.

---

I'm from the South West and love black pudding.

I think it's one for those that most people are put off by the idea of it rather than what it actually tastes like though.

Who the fuck is saying blood pudding is bad

I think that guy hates baked beans cus he thinks they're the same as the ones they do in the USA

Yep. I loved the beans when I visited the UK. I never saw blood pudding though. We were served everything in that picture except it. Maybe cause we were Americans and they knew we might not want it

I just don't get why he's so hostile to acknowledging the UKs flaws. He takes observations as personal attacks

It's amusing, imo, and his lack of self-awareness in this thread further cements it.

It's not always on a full English and I personally think it's gross.

Patriotism isn't ignoring problems with your country

He sees "This UK food is disgusting


"

as the same thing as saying "All Americans are fat dumb rednecks who watch TV all day while shooting at each other!"

And can't fathom the difference

Youre topic title is this is what brits call food or something similar which is a generalisation insinuating we all call whatever you posted food.

It's not always on a cooker breakfast, but if they're calling it a full English it should really be included.

That's a ridiculously hyperliteral take

I didn't say "This is what all Brits call food cuz theuvate dumb ohlolollll" "This is what they call food in the UK" is fine because it is indeed a topic full of "consumable goods" that are served in the UK as food

Can you not see the difference?

A proper British meal is boiled until it's as grey and lifeless as an overcast London sky

• Leliana: What was that... soup you made for supper last night?
• Alistair: Ooh, that? That's a traditional Fereldan lamb and pea stew. Did you like it?
• Leliana: Oh, so... it was lamb then? It had a certain... texture I don't normally associate with lamb.
• Alistair: They didn't make lamb and pea stew for you in Lothering?
• Leliana: We ate simply there. Whole grains, made into biscuits or bread, and vegetables from the garden, cooked lightly. No heavy stews.
• Alistair: Ah, so the last lamb you had was probably cooked Orlesian style. Food shouldn't be frilly and pretentious like that. Now here in Ferelden, we do things right. We take our ingredients, throw them into the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color. As soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that's when I know it's done.
• Leliana: You're having me on.
• Alistair: (Laughs) You need to eat in more Fereldan inns.

When you learn that Americans have some weird baked beans with molasses in them and thats what they assume these are then it becomes understandable why they always overreact to something as normal as baked beans in a breakfast

From the UK, what is this? Scrambled egg and chickpeas? Who eats that?

---

The UK eats more than 2 million cans of baked beans a day with a 66 million population .

They make up like 80% of all baked beans consumption in the world.

They are beans mad over there. Beans for Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Every cafe and restaurant serves beans, KFC comes with beans

I don't think the love of beans can be underestimated. they're a UK staple

Should be 'over here'
But that would mean you actually are in the UK so I understand you dropping the gimmick

Most of Ramsey's shit looks really good but man if the roles were reversed and he gave me that fucking grilled cheese sandwich at Master Chef I'd throw him out right there.

---

Well I'm sure they've got plenty of good dishes.

Let's put it this way, England will never be on the list of greatest cuisines in the world, and among those countries that aren't on the list, England will rank below a lot of them.
English food is bland, a lot is cold meat in a pastry, and much is steamed. Ugh...

Also, to paraphrase the immortal John Pinette "Beans and coffee, just what I need to get me moving in the morning"

What, you don't like boiled everything?!

Think the only thing I've ever boiled is pasta or a kettle.

Not counting parboiling, that is.

If you want to consider a nation full of European whites, Africans, east Asians, indians, and every other race under the sun as a monolith, sure, call the British a race.

The camera work on his home video makes it unwatchable.
Too many cuts, way too much movement, and the zoom is way far in.
This is like 90's MTV style ADD shit.

It's awesome. As part of a breakfast it works as a contrast to the eggs and compliments the mushrooms really well.

Are you American? Because if so, that claim is fucking hilarious.

Your point is self defeating

There is no "set" definition of race. And if you go down the route of "Oh race is solely skin color" then you hit the same pit traps. What Race is The Rock?

Are Chinese and Hawaiian and Japanese people all the same race?

Because most of them wouldn't agree

The concept of race is bullshit and its fine to use it to mean "A group of people with a connection " and in fact dictionaries do

You could make the case that gamers are a race

I think it's perfectly fine to describe people with an anti UK or ant Canada or anti German or anti American prejudice as racist. I would

its actually impressive that the British subjugated half the world for spices and still have the blandest food known to man

"Spices" meant essentially black pepper. That composed the bulk of the trade cargo.

The word xenophobia already exists for what you're describing.
