Seriously. It takes some serious brass balls for a Brit to criticize another country's cuisine.

[(Anonymous)]

Right? Coming from a culture who used to boil their desserts...

[bur]

Say that again after you've eaten a spotted dick. God those things are delicious.

[(Anonymous)]

"eat a spotted dick" kekekesssnnnorkerflol

[(Anonymous)]

My brother once ate HALF of an entire spotted dick. See, he was home late, so both his dinner and dessert were put aside for him... but I didn't bother carving off a serve of pudding from the whole, I just left it in the warming over and figured that he could serve himself.
Apparently, he was struggling a bit by the end...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, but I've had those types of puddings and I don't care for them at all. I view it as one of those cultural things you're more likely to enjoy if you grow up with them.

heh heh heh heh mmheh, hey Butthead, eat a spotted dick, heh heh heh

Nah, I'm a fan of British food. My mom's a Londoner born and raised, and we go over to visit family a lot. No one can fix a good roast like a Brit. And it might be because the whole lot of my living relatives grew up on rations, but good lord they can cobble together a feast out of nearly nothing!

[(Anonymous)]

High five man! My dad was born in London (moved to Canada in '69). The best part of being around my Grandma was when she would look in the fridge, take all the fucking leftovers, and make the most amazing meal out of it.

[(Anonymous)]

I love British cuisine but I loathe Sunday roast. No ty.

[bur]

But you haven't truly lived until you've had a roast cow heart!

[(Anonymous)]

Because green bean casserole is the height of cordon bleu. Sure. Really good British food has always existed, people just don't want to acknowledge it because it spoils their prejudices.

[(Anonymous)]

Your people are the best at boiling things.

[(Anonymous)]

The point is, British food has its high and low points, just like every other cuisine, including American. Considering that British cuisine has had a particularly bad reputation and one that isn't deserved, they should maybe not point the finger at anyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm an American who has lived in Britain, and I can say that their reputation for lousy food is, in my personal experience, entirely deserved. It feels like a deep lack of understanding of how food functions, just a piece that's missing, culturally. It's like being tone deaf; they can't tell when something's out of tune and it's impossible to make them understand. Sandwiches should have texture. Hot food should be served hot. Toast should not be placed on a cooling rack before serving. Seasoning is a real thing that exists. These (among others) are concepts that simply don't penetrate.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of the best restaurants I've been to were in the UK so you probably never found the right place to eat at. It's like judging the American cuisine based on culinary atrocities like Mac&Cheese, fast food chains and peanut butter & Jelly sandwiches.

[(Anonymous)]

homemade mac and cheese is NOT an atrocity!

[(Anonymous)]

See?

[arcadiaego]

Yeah, I'm sorry for wherever you lived but this is not the norm. At least we don't sell plastic as cheese though.

[(Anonymous)]

But you did make the gas station sandwich a national dish. So lets call it even.
