lot of people get confused about people making GBS threads on british cuisine. dont get me wrong here. carbs + fat fried in fat is going to be delicious no matter what it is. obviously poo poo like yorkshire pie, cauliflower cheese (had to look this up and its also embarrassing that this is even a "dish" lmao), pasties/pies etc are going to be good. its just that they're boring and bland. there's no attempt to develop flavour in british cooking. it's just fry and bake some mundane poo poo in oil/butter. my household cuisine is a mix of italian (italy italian) and lao/southeast asian food, and british food is basically flavourless by comparison. that doesn't mean its GROSS, we all love a good bacon sandwich (lol again) or potatoes and sausages (bruh.... lmao), but cmon. british food is bland as gently caress. but thats okay

i’m not mad that chicken tikka masala is on that graphic, it almost certainly was created in the uk. i’m mad that they put it in mid tier when it’s one of the best things on there. Beans on toast sucks and baked beans in general are very bad. Yorkshire puddings are one of the best carbs ever invented

Bland and terrible are pretty different. If I stick a burger in a pan unseasoned then put it on a plain bun with no condiments it's still a burger and plenty fine to eat, but it's loving bland. I wouldn't complain if someone hosted and made it for me, but I'd never subject myself to that. I'd say I'd never subject my friends to it too but they're all british so they'd probably like it.

Great way to add a bit of tang to some sauce like for köttbullar.

I'm American so I don't have any room to talk, but I cannot imagine walking into a restaurant and ordering "the bubble and squeak" or a "jam roly poly". Feels like you're living in an IHOP and asking for the Rooty Tooty Fresh n' Fruity every day.

Let me ask E: "not my cup of tea, but I do eat it for special occasions such as New Year's Day (gazing towards the future, it's symbolism). Otherwise, no real defence of it any other time" Personally I (Seth speaking) find it weird that the British conquered whole countries for spices and then decided not to use them in anything. It's really weird to rationalize that Seth Pecksniff fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Oct 19, 2023 |

Feels like you're living in an IHOP and asking for the Rooty Tooty Fresh n' Fruity every day. A local restaurant here in the DC suburbs used to have bubble and squeak for weekend brunch, except it wasn't the "correct" bubble and squeak. It was more like chicken and poached eggs on biscuits (American biscuits, not cookies). It was delicious, but they took it away during the covid shutdown and it didn't return.

Maybe it's different for older generations, but I don't know anyone in the UK that would eat the "British" food listed there the majority of the time. Most of restaurants nearby are Turkish, Italian, Chinese, Indian, etc, most meals I see cooked tend to be from other cultures, even microwave and instant dinners tend to be curries, pasta etc. Stuff like fryups and roasts are a once a week deal. I guess there's so few dinners that counts as "uniquely British", restricting it to that you're going to get a bunch of beige poo poo.
