I think i heard, and this might all be bullshit, is that once there were less and less butlers and house staff for the colapsing nobility in England after the two wars, most fancy cuisine was lost, since none of these out of work butlers and cooks were going to make fancy meals for their impoverished families. Now, its probably bullshit, because France went through a literal beheading of their nobles, suffered the most through WW1 and were literally occupied in Ww2, yet have the most world renowned cuisine in the world In conclusion, england sucks

The depression and wars definitely changed american food- rationing of course, and the fact that the largest white people ethnicity, germans, (and another big one later, italians,) started trying real hard to not seem so foreign, and then the depression hit. And then when prosperity returned people, especially your white people who write cookbook types, had grown up during the depression and war and lost their family cuisines, and so bought into the New poo poo of the time. Your heavily processed frozen/packaged/etc poo poo. The microwave was amazing once. And that's why the already-marginalized people of the US basically invented all of american cuisine. You're already marginalized, you lose nothing during the hard times cuz you were cooking scraps to begin with- and keep making tasty poo poo. Créole, cajun, tex-mex, chinese-american, soul food, etc, hell your jewish delis and your pierogis. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 19:31 on Sep 5, 2019 |

One of my friends is from London and we took him to an Indian place here in Chicago and he almost died because it had spices in it. He said he loved curry, so I have no idea how that happened. Only conclusion I can draw is that English Indian food must be similar to Midwest casseroles only with "tikka" added to the name.

ive been to a few different cities in england with a native friend and every restaurant we went to it was “this place is so good” and 9 times out of 10 it was just the blandest poo poo. then on the last day i was there, she took me to an indian place and im thinking “finally food with flavor”. goddammit it was bland as hell. the place had really high ratings and she ate there all of the time. im guessing indian immigrants really toned down the spices because they feel brits cannot handle that poo poo.

I went to some Indian place around King's Cross and it had a 2 hour line. Food was delicious. Maybe it's the non big city areas that suck?

Nah, there's a Bengali place in Gosport that is loving amazing. Salisbury also had a couple of equally good places. Spins posted:When I was in England the food was great; we usually ate at pubs, the hot special of the day. Fresh vegetables in freshly baked whatever... The pubs, on the other hand, had pretty garbage food. Except for a Thai pub across from the hotel in Salisbury and a Michelin-starred gastropub in London (which is admittedly not the same thing as a pub).

In England they turn something easy and delicious like a bacon sandwich into an atrocity. Chewy, greasy bacon in a sandwich of untoasted white bread. Why? Because the best part is the soggy, oily bread, apparently.

Starting the article with “Richard Haynes will likely die in jail...” set the proper tone for a story about such a monster.

Azathoth posted:Yeah, it caused quite a scandal at the time too. For a long time, the sandwich wasn't considered proper British food, as it wasn't boiled into a flavorless mush, and there was concern that introducing flavor to British cuisine might cause an uprising of the lower classes.

Why are you quoting a fascist here ETA in case it's not blindingly obvious to some of you ("Fren", the tree icon, and the bio "radicalized by reality" are all fascist signaling), consider this recent tweet of his https://twitter.com/brads_not_here_/status/1169501182827495425 pookel has a new favorite as of 17:10 on Sep 6, 2019 |

aphid_licker posted:How the gently caress did the tree Emoji become a fash symbol On it's own, the tree emoji just means you're an environmentalist and "fren" just means you like doggo memes. Combine those with Pepes, references to goys or ((())), comments about "noticing things" or "being radicalized" though ....

pookel posted:Because they're trying to co-opt it & rebrand themselves as eco-fascists when they talk about keeping out the invading hordes of brown people. They think this will have more mainstream appeal than traditional fascism. The Nazis were eco-fascists. They had plans for turning the countryside into Skyrim, basically. They also bred murderous demon cows (Heck cattle) to replace the mighty aurochs that once wandered the untamed landscape in the mythical German before-time. The lebensraum Germany wanted was supposed to be converted into nothing but bucolic faux-medieval peasant villages and verdant wilderness. Völkisch poo poo was like that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%F6lkisch_movement

QAnon/Pizzagate is a disinfo op meant to discredit accusations of a sex trafficking networks that are supported if not ran by governmental agencies. This is supported by the fact that Mike Cernovich, who played a major role in helping spread pizzagate, has close connections to Alan Dershowitz, including helping him unseal a defamation lawsuit filed by one of Epstein's victins.
