I have lived here 31 years, eaten in many homes, pubs, bakeries, and restaurants. I'm also a pretty good cook myself and know how to apply my knowledge/skills to maximise the quality of classic British dishes, and let me tell you that you are absolutely wrong.
You can never 'prove' a subjective opinion, but British food is bland, uninspired, and completely utilitarion. It can be summed up as "it has carbs and protein, therefore it's fine." To find cuisines better than ours you just gesture broadly of regions of a globe. To find cuisines worse than ours you have to whip out a magnifying glass and look closely around the Baltic. We do have excellent cheese and decent desserts though.

The truth is lots of Brits eat like shit. There is some great classic dishes but the reality is that most people don't cook or eat them and don't cook well, or eat well cooked food. It's hard to find a decent restaurant in this country, most are shit and most "pub grub" is the same rubbish repeated ad nauseum and not worth the money it costs. To an extent this is true of the rest of Europe and probably the world as well, but I feel compared to the rest of Europe the standard is a lot lower here. I think a lot of classic British cooking doesn't easily transfer to the restaurant setting but its not really an excuse for a lot of it and judging by people I knew at uni and the shit that gets posted online on here and reddit the standard of home cooking isn't great, although there are a lot of factors to this. There's also a type of self-hating Brit that turns their nose up at anything "English" and espouses that anything "foreign" is better, and this seems to be a factor in the death of lots of traditional foods here as a lot of people I think buy into it to a certain degree which isn't helped by slop like this >>21456414 as well as due to class factors.

Its just that its incredibly embarrassing from a national perspective watching people post the same "oh muh full english" on 4chins and plebbit and seemingly expecting JFs to shit themselves in envy at *shock* bacon and a fried egg.

For me its the humble British, McPlant®

The majority of detractors of British cuisine on this board are undoubtedly American of some northern variety.

If I had to guess why, it's probably because British cuisine in many instances places the focus and emphasis on the quality and unembellished flavour of the core ingredients in the dish rather than slathering everything in cheese, sauce, or artificial smoke flavouring.

Additionally, many of those core ingredients are often vegetables - typically 2/3rds of the portion size by tradition.

This may confuse the palate of the average American (why peeple don season dey qualty ingreedents) whom is unaccustomed to non-deep fried foodstuffs, fibre, and uncheesified mealstuffs.

Ironically, Britain produces a huge variety of regional cheeses of exceptional quality that the average American would probably find offensively strong in flavour when compared to a typical American *snigger* cheese.

I'm not British myself but from the colonies - Australian and New Zealand cuisine (no laughing please) was traditionally heavily influenced by British cuisine and I grew up with similar cooking.

But what is wrong with beans on toast exactly and why does it trigger people? And also to the extemt that we have the same thread over and over? It's just beans with bread that most of the world eat.

It would be better if those disliking a dish post an alternative or way that it could be improved? Take peas for example, Arakas > plain peas.

>>21456786
>But what is wrong with beans on toast exactly and why does it trigger people?
I don't think many people realise that British beans are more savoury than American beans and they taste very different.

Nobody in Britain thinks beans on toast is some sort of culinary masterpiece, it's just a simple snack prepared in a few minutes, Just like amer'cans when they microwave hotpockets.

>>21456550
It's hilarious to me that I've returned to this thread 12h later and the one guy who agrees with me is given the same textbook response.. you're not defending British food you're just attacking the credentials of a 'Masterchef' which I never claimed to be at all. I said I'm "pretty good".

I am English and I find British food disgusting, you can point to anywhere on the globe and find fare more substantial . We British have contributed nothing to the culinary world, yet we pretend our food stands alone and is something to be proud of and make threads about.
British food has always been bland and boring, even before the rationing during the World Wars and in the 1970s we sent Chefs to France to try and copy them but we failed because we just cannot cook anything with finesse or with fresh ingredients like elsewhere on the continent.
Prior to 1950 we used to eat toast sandwiches and jellied eels on a sunday.
We British have the worst food on the planet and I say this as an Englishman.

>>21456879
You guys contributed apple pie, mac and cheese, and a bunch of other stuff. You can argue that other nations have their own version of common British food but dishes the US is popular for are actually from Britain a lot of the time.

>>21456885
You just listed French food.

>"Make 'em dry," is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, "make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week."
>It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They're not altogether clear what those sins are, and don't want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever their sins are they are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.

>>21456900
You're still attacking my supposed 'MasterChef' status, I said i was a "pretty good" cook. The fact that I'm British probably taints that view, compared to other Brits I'm past the centre of the bell curve but compared to the rest of humanity I may well be behind the curve.

BUT YET AGAIN, you're choosing to attack me.. you're choosing to ridicule the idea that a gardener can also be a good cook (as if there are not 24 whole hours in a day) yet you stiiiiiiiiiill have not once argued that British food is good because of x, y, and z.

>>21457116
I'm British (yes, really). I don't get the big deal about beans on toast, as in they aren't worth the mention. They take as much effort to make as instant noodles (fuck if I'm calling them ramen, how gay), but are more nutritious. It's nothing to write home about. It's as basic as it gets, I was making them for myself when I was 7 or something. It amazes me when these fat yanks go on about their """ramen""" and think they're clever for putting an egg in it, or """green""" onions. It's dogshit.

>>21457115

I've had "British baked beans* on bread that isn't sweet" many times. Even with cheese on top it is prison food.

*American product, btw. If people are going to pretend that Chicken Tikka Masala is a British dish because a Pakistani lad who wasn't even born here butchered an Indian recipe, then we have to admit that baked beans aren't some quintessentially British item. One was created by a foreigner on our soil, the other was created by a foreigner on foreign soil. You're defending the latter atm

You're a troll savant. No point in going into much depths with you. We have high production standards for livestock and produce. We rely on imports for certain areas within this, but what we do produce is more than a decent standard. That's due to the richness and variety of soil throughout the island(s). In terms of quality of eating establishments, it's markedly improved in the last 30 years. I think you're the gaylord banging on about the origins of dishes, I'm expecting you're the faggot poopooing things like apple pie and mac & cheese. It's all so tiresome. You're boring. You could pick apart any cuisine if you're being a pedantic little bitch. And that's what you are. Pedantic. And even moreso, you are a little bitch. Modern British cuisine is just that: modern British. It takes influence from other cuisines and makes into something new. I'm not someone who needs an internet medal for my country's cuisine. Imagine being so desperate that you need some form of reflected glory for your country's culinary achievements. It's utterly pathetic. You're some mid IQ, smug, obnoxious cunt who thinks they've done something special with their responses. You're honestly a bit of a cunt mate, not for any particular reason, you just are - it doesn't matter where you're from

No it's not, it's because you copied the Belgian cross-breeding technique. And you failed to come up with anything relevant. Your fruit is laughable, your veg non-existing.
>In terms of quality of eating establishments, it's markedly improved in the last 30 years.
True, it was nowhere. Thanks to the Roux family who opened a bunch of restaurants in the UK and trained Ramsay and White it got on tv. But that's about it.
>We rely on imports for certain areas
All you get is leftovers. Ask the Pajeets. If/Whenever they can stop laughing.
>That's due to the richness and variety of soil throughout the island(s)
No it's not. Italy and Belgium both have 30x more biodiversity than you do.

You have fantastic fishing areas, but all you fish for is haddock. British fishermen are trying to sneak into EU ports with their catches ever since Brexit happened. It's both hilarious, pathetic and insulting to those people, because they're skilled and work an honest job.

>>21457191

Agreed.
>In terms of quality of eating establishments, it's markedly improved in the last 30 years
I'm only 31 so I couldn't in good faith argue that point either way. I'm just bloody confident that Greggs would have never gained a foothold in France or Italy. Ireland? Yeah. Canada? Maybe. My point is that the bar is so low here that a chain that sells an uncut hotdog bun with a layer of icing on top as a dessert would be spat on in most of the civilised world.
>You could pick apart any cuisine if you're being a pedantic little bitch
Yes, you could. But British cuisine is incredibly easy to pick apart (because it's so lacklustre)
>Modern British cuisine is just that: modern British. It takes influence from other cuisines and makes into something new
Kind of agree but the word 'Modern' in this context just, to me, implies that our cuisine was initially bad to the point that any old random tiny country near the Equator could introduce us to a spice or a cooking method and we said "hell yes". It's an inherently bad cuisine if little island inhabitants can teach you a thing or two

>>21457213
Hold on, hold on... "you" shouldn't it be "we"? I'm confused now. Where did you say you're from? Regardless, I think you need to research more about the level of food standards in the UK. Whilst I haven't worked in the sector, I have worked very much adjacent to it. If you can refute what I've said, then why haven't you? There's nothing of substance in your posts, which leads me onto...:
>even the pajeets are laughing
Spare me. I think I paid you a compliment by calling you mid IQ, fucking hell, you're an utter bottom feeder. There is quite a distinct diversity in the types of soil over here, if you look it up then you'll be enlightened. The quality is natural, only to be degraded by over-farming in some parts... It's not up for debate.
>B-B-Belgian
Fuck off, you blithering twat
>Roux family blah blah twat blah Ramsey and White
Obviously tells me you know fuck all about the restaurant industry in the UK. You only know about the Rouxs because you only know about Gordon Ramsay and Marco-Pierre White. In your tiny world they're the only two you know. You have to be a yank. But you've stumbled on half an answer there; they've been a massive influence.
>but that's about it
Shows you're sheer ignorance. Heston Blumenthal, Simon Rogan, Tommy Banks, Tom Kerridge, Jason Atherton, Michael O'Hare but to name a very few, who've had a growing influence throughout the country for being at the very top of culinary excellence.

Jesus fucking Christ, i used that as an example of a low point. A low point that would never be accepted by the majority of the planet. Greggs continues to sell shit like that because Brits are fuckin goblins when it comes to food. "A fool and their money are soon parted" you've heard that before yeah? Play the metaphor out, Greggs make a mint every year selling to mouth-breathing spastics. Has never took off in another country and never will. Third worlders make less compromise than us lot.

In A C Merie Talys (100 Merry Tales), a printed book of jokes of AD 1526 (of which William Shakespeare made some use), it is told that God became weary of all the Welshmen in Heaven, 'which with their krakynge and babelynge trobelyd all the others', and asked the Porter of Heaven Gate, St Peter, to do something about it. So St Peter went outside the gates and called in a loud voice, 'Cause bobe, yt is as moche to say as rostyd chese', at which all the Welshmen ran out, and when St Peter saw they were all outside, he went in and locked the gates, which is why there are no Welshmen in heaven.

Nutrition was notoriously poor in all militaries during the height of the British Empire. And they could get away with their men being malnourished manlets because physical prowess wasn't as important in the era of musket lines.

>>21458572
What a load of twaddle.
You do realise that armies had to march hundreds of miles in those days, they didn't have APC and trucks to transport them.
By your theory the modern army would all be scrawny weaklings.

>>21458578
In the US, the modern army is mostly latina hobbits.

endurance for long marches over several days, freezing camps for weeks on end even when not on campaign, and terrible conditions on-campaign with no beds, little sleep, and constant military vigilance requires absolute prime physical fitness. In war conditions you can't control things like weather or onslaught, you have no choice but to maintain the best possible fitness of your soldiers no matter what. even Julius Caesar filled his diaries 80% with worries about food supply lines. Yes, they ate disgusting food but it was chunky beef and beef broth and hard tack and beer, and even in the worst of times each individual soldier was allotted several kgs per day, or else desu

>>21458585
It was mostly grain that rotted their teeth. Great source of calories for long marches, but not much protein or micros. Even as late as the US Civil war there were troops shitting their guts out (not just from dysentry) and never recovering because their rations still sucked despite the best efforts of the higher ups.
Yes they had salt pork, beans and other stuff, but their diets were still dogshit precisely because of the difficulty of logistics.

>>21458578
No, because we have better logistics and a deeper understanding of nutrition and physical prowess is a big deal for infantry who need to be able to do those same long marches (if only as a precaution) with more shit in their packs and engage with smaller numbers.

You're both right that they needed endurance, which carbs are good for, but your big SAS commando's muscles would be wasted on a musket formation if not a financial liability.

A British food thread yet no mention of the greatest of all British culinary inventions? Frozen Beef Wellington bites. My grandad will make several packages of these and eat them like they are potato chips. He puts them all in a big bowl and pops them into his mouth one after another while he’s sitting in his lazy boy chair watching tv

"banger" came about a slang term for cheap sausages with a high proportion of water and fat to meat that would literally bang when cooked due to the steam that would build up within the skin. So having a "banger" isn't anything to write home about.

>>21458762
exactly.

>>21458770
That sounds an awful lot like a pseudohistorical explanation.

>>21458770
Banger actually came from what me and the boys did you your mum.

>>21458795

For me it’s bangers and mash, no peas, no gravy

Went to Bri*ain, and they have some of the best savoury pastries out there. I wish I could have steak and kidney pies at my local Walmart. I just have to settle for hot pockets.

>>21458867
i've always found it bizarre that savoury pies didn't catch on in am*rica.
sweet pies are so obviously inferior to savoury pies.

quite honestly, steak & ale pies with a suet crust are probably the nicest food in the world (unironically).
Shortcrust and puff pastry are also heavenly, but suet crust is the ultimate indulgence.

I love vegetables too, so picrel is the best food on the planet, for me

It's good peasant food made for the working man. Love it.

>>21460563
it's better than peasant food †bqh but absolutely simple wholesome working man food. It's kind of fucked that the more processed shit is the cheaper it is, and it's actually hard to eat simple food groups because of the constant rising costs. I might just forget it all and live on punkin, turnip, and chicken skin.

>>21460566
heh I misspoke, I meant to say "the more processed shit is the MORE EXPENSIVE it is"

>>21460567
wait, no I correctspoke right the first time I think.

I just want to eat wholesome simple foods and not become a poor.

>>21460572
I think you might be having a bad day or a mild stroke but I get what you're saying. Luckily "cheap cuts" of meat are still pretty cheap and very underrated and tasty.

>>21456104
England is famous for its peas it has the perfect climate for them. You haven’t experienced a pea before you pick them fresh and eat them straight out of the pod.

Beef Wellington is probably the finest British meal there is and, like half of the cuisine, it's meat wrapped in pastry. I just find that funny, can't get away from that format. This thread is terrible PR for bong food btw

Pub food is delicious

I'm a Brit and I just view all the foods of the world as ours. It weirds me out no end that people say "British food is bad" and I think "but most of you eat the exact same stuff?"

>>21461087
not the bingbongs. well except in vietnam where they stole the baguette for their devious purposes

for me, it's the pies

Welshmen can't resist that that hot melted cheese on toast. I'm sure the expelled Welshmen would all tell you the rarebit was worth it

How much would that cost, be honest.
The issue with British food is that it costs five times more than it should.

Bangers, mash, cook at spoons. shittiest commercial dining experience.
$14 US. What the fuck Britain? That's like an hours wage in your own country.

Have you considered eating the migrants?

I live in Britain can attest, everything is حلال so you know its good

Just really quite horrendous bumps. Lacking substance and any sort of personality, trying to squeeze life of a dead thread. I'm sure there's a purpose, but I can't see it. Basically it's just grim
