Is it as bad as they say it is?
You know why the British don't like tofu?
It's too flavorful
It isn't particularly diverse, since we're a small island. We do however have an amazing range of cheeses, and a disproportionate number of the best chefs in the world come from Britain.
good fine dining
cultural melting pot with lots of ethnic cuisines well represented
very underwhelming culinary standards in general across the native populace
>>7739753
>Is it as bad as they say it is?
I dunno... theres just something thats wrong with the amount of sugar in american breakfasts; waffles, pancakes, poptarts, fruitloops etc.
A good Traditional Scottish breakfast has, baked beans, potatoe scons, haggis, sausages, eggs either pouched or scrambled, bacon, black pudding etc. Its like some kind of meat adventure! And on the whole i think breakfast should be meaty, not really sugary.
Although i have been known to enjoy cinnamon grahams.
As a working class Brit, I'm literally the only person I know with the remotest knowledge of good cooking. Most people can use a recipe to throw stuff together but lack basic knowledge of flavour pairings, knife skills, how different ingredients react to different cooking methods. People have cooked me steak countless times and not one of them has done it well. I don't think my parents have ever seen a herb.
>>7739762
>We do however have an amazing range of cheeses,
Dont forget the beers and ales anon.
>>7739753
Dont forget that the Chicken Tikka Massala is a British invention.
Some moron told the indian chef to put some gravy on his chicken tikka, the chef, working with the ingredients he had, came up with the massala sauce.
>>7739771
>Although i have been known to enjoy cinnamon grahams.
This to be quite honest.
Whenever I think of you I always think "Known to enjoy Cinnamon Grahams".

>>7739788
I like urban legends.
I absolutely love British food. Shepherds pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash, steak and kidney pie, all kinds of pies, mushy peas, full breakfast, roast dinner, scones with clotted cream, marmelades (Sevilla orange god damn), damn good cheese. You gotta be a real shitskin not to enjoy it really. Underrated as fuck.

Nobody is getting upset and you claiming such means you are.
Using that one word in any context indicates that you are an utter moron.
Brit food is fucking awesome, just most people have no fucking idea what it is as the recipes are difficult to get. I only learned 90% of the Brit foods I know in the past year. And one of my great great great great etc; grandfathers was from Bri'in
>>7739854
The joke is irrelevant, it's his use of "flavorful" that is retarded.
>>7739855
It's really more like "Bri'un".
>>7739857
i don't see how it's retarded.
>>7739859
really depends on the accent
>>7739859
I dunno my bros gf is a brit and she pronounces it like Britten but she's really posh, she's from some medieval town
Not meaning this in a racist or /pol/ way, but has the influx of Muslims and refugees affected the British food culture any?
I keep hearing about Sharia law, and how so many restaurants over there are no longer serving pork products
Is any of that shit true?
>>7739875
Subway banned pork, that is true and why I refuse to ever step foot in one again.
>>7739875
there is not sharia law in britain but there are 'sharia courts' which are basically somewhat clandestine organisations overseeing stuff like marriage and divorce in muslim communities. ostensibly we only accept the decisions made by these courts where they are compatible with our own laws, but of course that requires a level of transparency that not every muslim community will honour.
restaurants in areas with a large muslim population have less incentive to serve pork products, but none are removing pork from their memories out of fear, and i would imagine only a very few actually 'remove' pork from their menus at all - they're just not going to put it on if they don't think people will buy it.
the actual refugee crisis has not affected our food culture. we have had a large muslim population for a very long time, and there isn't really a 'muslim' cuisine seeing as it's such a widespread religion.
>>7739895
> none are removing pork from their memories
lol woops
*menus
>>7739811
Pies were actually created by the Romans and they brought them to England.
There's nothing wrong with British food, but I find a lot of brits can't cook it properly.
>>7739762
>and a disproportionate number of the best chefs in the world come from Britain.
Because they all went to study in France, or studied under French chefs.
>>7739907
>It's this "argument" again
>>7739912
This isn't the 1980s. There's enough top chefs that you don't need to go to France anymore. A lot of our top restaurants don't even serve French shit anyway
>>7739895
>restaurants in areas with a large muslim population have less incentive to serve pork products, but none are removing pork from their memories out of fear, and i would imagine only a very few actually 'remove' pork from their menus at all - they're just not going to put it on if they don't think people will buy it.
Subway.
>>7739932
Ok, but as I said it's more due to lack of demand than any form of pressure from the Muslim community. Not all the subways in the country have 'banned' pork and they do it in Jewish areas in the U.S. as well
>>7739971
>Not all the subways in the country have 'banned' pork
exactly. just the areas with large muslim populations. so like half of them.
>>7740028
No, it's closer to one in seven. Obviously most of that number is in a small handful of areas tho
>>7739907
So? Everything has its absolute origin. Europeans were once the same people. Non-argument.
>>7739766
This pretty much hits the nail on the head
As a brit of course i'm biased, but I do think that we've come a long way in terms of food recently. It's disheartening when I'm in London and see so many tourists at the worst possible places to go, but it's us to blame for that.
We have fantastic produce and so many good restaurants, but the general public here is still behind in appreciating good food. There are too many people here who have no idea how to cook or whose fanciest dining experience is a meal at Nandos.

traditional american breakfast is bacon and eggs with toast. Children eat poptarts and cereal.

It's better to just let people like that think what they think because they literally have no bearing on you
>>7739771
Americunt here. Only children and manchildren eat sugary sweets for breakfast as a mainstay. I might have a donut once a week but most of the time I'm having hash browns, over easy eggs, goetta and some kind of fruit with oatmeal. Usually frozen blueberries and banana slices in steaming hot oatmeal. The rest of my friends eat the same as does my family but they prefer the fatty bacon most Americans eat.

It's a couple of decades behind because of generations who suffered rationing. The food revolution was late, the evolution was on pause. When people were exploring fusion food and enjoying food from a wide variety of immigrants in the Americas, or prosperous jet age travel, the Brits were still marveling at the comfort foods their climate grew and made available again. Home cooks were about budgeting and public displays of wealth were not what it was in the US, or the rest of the american continents. A bit of caribbean and asian isn't quite enough to satisfy the masses looking for escape from heavy starches. That curry can become #1 is a clue that things weren't too amazing overall.
I disagree on "disproportionate number of the best chefs in the world coming from Britain" as a serious case of national pride. It's simply not true. And, I'll show you that every celebrity chef is a total uneducated dunce. The best of the best? I don't think so. Let's look for IQ as a baseline. Some of them can't even use a computer as evidenced by shoddy lack of google research before touting some "traditional" piece of shit foreign recipe. Let's talk about Ramsey's american chili or the fact he looked for butter chicken all over India.

There are good items in British cuisine, but overall I find it's one of the blandest in the world. Their dishes also tend to be pretty ugly visually speaking.
That said, if you get over the visual element, it's probably not as bad as people say. Toad in the whole for instance is delicious, despite the fact that it looks like feces.

Homemade style, no casings, has to be shaped somehow. I actually prefer the crispiness of a pan fried sausage patty.
>>7740882
This post is gibberish.
>>7740823
I think you'd be surprised by the taste.
lightly spiced, fatty. They're almost like slices of cake in texture, and the oats combined with the fat make it taste almost sweet, it's wonderful. Best part of a full English by a mile. In fact, my preference is to just put them in a butty.
>>7739775
This is the case for the majority of western nations though. Most people don't have the knowledge of basic flavour pairing, knife skills or any of that stuff.
In the UK the average "cook" uses pre-made jar sauces and ready meals. In the US and Canada the average person eats out more often than cooking and the "cooking" is basically the same: jar sauces, instant packets and TV dinners.
