Nothingtoseehere posted:The BBC has a big recipe site in the UK which avoids all this bullshit thankfully, but they don't contain much detail beyond the basic instructions si if you want to try and understand a technique you have to venture into American SEO space which sucks. Most recipe sites that aren't an individual person are fine with this, and the recipes are generally better thought out than the "boring suburban mom's long winded diary and oh yeah a recipe i guess" sites. They do a bad job in general of SEO though, so I find I have to put the site name into Google to find them. - Bon Appetit has maybe a paragraph of bullshit per recipe, but it's always about the food itself. - Serious Eats has great (if a bit overly complex) recipes, and while they do have a large amount of non-recipe text, it's almost always in a connected article, is always about the food, and is always interesting. - AllRecipes is probably the closest to a "food wiki" and has zero bullshit. The recipes are hit and miss, and it is the epicentre of the insane sort of recipe reviews where people substitute every single ingredient, so it's hard to gauge what's actually good, but hey, no bullshit.

Garlic and vanilla are the two ingredients where any measure next to them should be treated as a suggestion of the absolute minimum.

But if we're talking about online recipe sources that are awesome (with additional writing, even!) and contain proper seasoning, I really like Original Flava.

Was in England a couple of years ago and my grandmother hadn't tried the pasta she made my vegetarian cousin and I because she'd put garlic in and that made it too spicy. It's typically one way or another, people there love spices and can't get enough, or never touch anything with my flavour than a roast.

Yea, the american opinion is since a mass of them were over here in WW2 when we had rationing so food was enough, but flavour from sugar/fats/spices was low as they were rationed. Some level of rationing continued till 1954, so 15 years of it did damage the skill of British chefs in the era, although it's no worse than american home cooking now.

I've found lots of recipes on English websites that have a normal amount of spices, The Guardian for example. After making a fair few from the BBC though, I think they err on the conservative side is all.

Foods from some places are milder than foods from other places. Does it tell us anything useful about those places or is it just an inane observation?

Eh, there's also some stuff where some British people boil/roast the everloving poo poo out of meats to the point where shoe leather seems like filet mignon in comparison. Is it a deserved stereotype? No idea, but a couple of my friends have family from the UK that cook that way, so anecdotally it's been something I've seen.

The solid food is just for show, as you know none of us Brits have any teeth so we drink a liquidised slurry when you aren't looking. If you looking for pasta recipes there are lots on Italian websites, if you search for the Italian words you get good recipes without Americans subbing in unrelated ingredients.

My fav thing about that stereotype is that the stats have the average Brit with more of their teeth left than the average American. It's just that America is more about the flashy white grins.

I argue us brits have loads of amazing individual dishes and export a lot of it (chocolate and cheese are two good examples) but I do agree with don't have this love and passion about cooking that say the French or Italians do and it leads to a lot of kids growing up not really knowing how to cook well. Senor Tron posted:My fav thing about that stereotype is that the stats have the average Brit with more of their teeth left than the average American. It's just that America is more about the flashy white grins. The flashy white US celeb smile is mostly pleasant, however I've seen quite the number of them (mostly news broadcasters for some reason) who have taken it to ridiculous degrees where it makes their teeth look like plastic. Almost like the mouth equivalent of huge fake tits. I've always wondered were the stereotype came from about the teeth. Compared to the rest of Europe, British teeth are no different. I'd guess maybe its because of the Americans consuming so much British TV and music that it just got stuck on us? Who knows, frankly as a country who invaded and occupied over half the world, often in incredibly brutal ways, having 'bad teeth' and 'bad food' the things people most associate with is us is getting off incredibly lightly.

This German is jealous. Though luckily yanks think Bavaria is all of Germany, when it isn't even German to begin with, so at least we have some ablative armour for some of the crimes against humanity people think we've committed.
