I dunno man when I was in the UK I had a shit ton of awesome food. Lots of fried fish, roasted meat, savory and sweet pies, sausages, breads, cheeses, not to mention the crossover and fusion food like Indian and South Asian.
They have the best bacon
The dairy and processed meats in the UK are fire!
Is Harry Gow a bad place for sausage? I had a full breakfast every chance but only got sausage once.
Any recs?
But did you get a Meal Deal?
I got a full English twice, so there’s that.
Haha if you go back, Meal Deals are addictive. They look like cheap gas station sandwiches, but they’re quality ingredients with good fresh bread. Combos we don’t get here like cheese and onion are just a very different thing than you would expect.
Don’t knock it until you’ve been on rationed flour for several years
Fry your flour in butter.
you guys remind me of a girl I used to work with who would always mock “white people food,” except that to her that really just meant “poor white people food.” It’s not gourmet, but sometimes all you have is fucking bread.
It was invented for a “cheapest meal” competition if I recall. If someone really made this, the inside bread would be drowned in something with several insane flavours. Probably Branston pickle.
I can understand the appeal of a piece of bread that’s been soaked or buttered or even just toasted and salted. I bet that’s delicious, if done right.
My question is, why the other two slices of bread? What’s the thinking there? Why not have three slices of delicious middle bread? If the bread is good enough on its own, why not eat it alone?
It’s like if you made a drink of tepid water by adding ice cubes to a glass of warmed water and then letting them completely melt until room temperature. Who is this recipe for? “Oh, but maybe the ice cubes are flavored” OK then why freeze them before melting them? “Maybe the hot water is flavored with herbs that rele-” Bitch, that’s tea.
I’m so confused, I’m getting mad at imaginary arguments I’m having with hypothetical morons about analogous situations that only exist in my head.
The middle bread will be saturated in fat, crispy, and spiced heavily.
The outer breads are dry, fluffy and neutral-tasting.
You need them for the same reason you need them in any sandwich.Also extra calories, keeping in mind it’s a struggle meal
Not even my dad ate this and he liked all sorts of crazy rationing-era foods he’d grown up with in the war.
Tikka Masala is pretty fuggin’ good. And you lot did invent Worcestershire sauce. Oh, and your packaged snacks? Hugely better than the crap we get in the states. But you can have Mushy Peas.
Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.
Tikki Masala was invented by a Pakistani chef living in Scotland.
Technically both British creations, but I feel like it’s hard to list them as fully British in origin.
Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.
The company has also claimed that “Lord Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal” encountered it while in India with the East India Company in the 1830s, and commissioned the local pharmacists (the partnership of John Wheeley Lea and William Perrins of 63 Broad Street, Worcester) to recreate it. However, neither Marcus Lord Sandys nor any Baron Sandys was ever a Governor of Bengal, nor had they ever visited India as far as available records indicate.
So you’re saying immigrants can’t be British?
You could make a religion out this
Ok, Brits… what is GOOD British food? Fish ‘n Chips? Mushy Peas? Full English? Sunday Roast? I’ve been to the UK more times than I can count and even the Pubs often serve international fare instead of Spotted Dick.
The only people who survived medieval England were those who could psychologically tolerate bland food.
The Fat Duck, a restaurant with three Michelin stars, serves toast sandwich as a side dish.
So, you tell me.
Thought the food was a running joke for ages till I went and had some of their Fish and Chips at nice pub. Oh boy was I wrong! That and the curry will absolutely blow your mind.
“So, you’re saying if you put a slice of bread between two slices of bread, then that’s a bread sandwich?”
“Well, yes, technically. But, you wouldn’t eat it that way.”
Because you toast the middle piece, and butter it.
I ate a lot of good food when I visited the UK. Honestly anyone who claims <place> has only bad food has a skill issue.
Place of Origin: United Kingdom
Yeah, that checks out
1861? I wonder what the original poster’s ancestors were eating back then.
