We got bread. We got cheese. We got beans.
What more do you want?
Flavor
Salt?
Now that's a pro'a bri'ish flavor
Sausages ?
Including beans in breakfast is a British culinary achievement that I will never stop defending.
Sounds like somebody never tried a warm plate of Scraggledy Numps, or a bowl of Thumps in a Bodice, or even a hot cup of Singeshammy Longerjohns in Tabbernickywammelty sauce.
I genuinely believe these are actual names of actual british foods.
Go back far enough, and you uncover dishes with wonderful names like Farts of Portingale.
well america has shit on a shingle
Ever tried some bubble and squeak?
I had a hot cup of Singeshammy Longerjohns in Tabbernickywammelty sauce once.
Never again! I prefer mine cold.
British Food is awesome. It's not very colorful or ultra complex but it's the kinda food that warms the soul.
- A good Sunday Roast with yorkshire pudding, lamb, roasted potatoes, peas, and gravy
- Fish and Chips served with a good curry or mushy peas
- Fresh warm scones with clotted cream and jam
- A proper fry up with a cup of tea
- Beef Wellington
- Pie Mash
- Meat pies
- Bridies
- Scotch Eggs
- Minemeat Pies
- Spotted Dick (Yeah yeah)
- Treacle Tart
- Banoffee Pie
There are few things that bring me more joy than popping into a Greggs on a cold rainy morning for an overheated cup of generic tea and a sausage roll.
My mom dated a Englishman when I was a kid and he made us "Yorkshire Pudding" that shit was excellent.
The best 'Fish and Chips" are made at this little seaside rstaurant in Oregon and made with Salmon. They must have ran out of chips because I got French Fries instead. Was still excellent though.
Ba dum tiss!
Best Fish n' Chips Ive had was at a small pub near the old harbor in Reyknavik, arguing with two brits about toy internet spaceships, where the fish was alive that morning.
Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.
Some other great British dishes:
- Tikka Masala
- Shepherd's/Cottage Pie
- Sticky Toffee Pudding
- Cornish Pasty
- Crumpets
- CUSTARD
Love Shepherd's Pie
Still? Greggs is a rip off now and there are far too many of them. 16 in the damn centre of Manchester.

England, Britain, it's the same and of course the capital of Europe - France, OP. And the best English food? Curry. Says it all really. Scottish or Irish (yes, I know!) food is actually decent.
I once had a conversation with my boss who was well-travelled. He said the secret to Europe is to eat in the Catholic countries. If you must spend time within a Protestant country, look around for a Catholic enclave within it. Not only will the food be superior, but people will be falling over each other to make sure you are well fed.
I looked at him incredulously. How can you say that? It's such a sweeping generalization! And then I went to Europe…
I don't know.. my experience is that in Muslim communities they wont let you leave until your stomach explodes... then they offer you coffee and sweets to go with.
That's good to know! Actually, now that I think of it, my wife and I visited the one and only mosque in our home town during a public event in a show of solidarity after it got vandalized. And I have to say, it was an absolute food fest in there!
I honestly think British food is some of the most underrated in Europe. It is unfortunately a few years between each time I visit, but I am always blown away by the tea houses and pub food over there. Of course there is a lot of bad fastfood over there, but pointing to that alone would be like judging Norwegian food by our frozen pizza.
Say what you will about British food, but a full English breakfast is the best thing after night out drinking.
We have something similar in the US, but we leave out the beans because we are not savages.
So every morning then
Fish and chip is awesome wdym
Dunno man I just roasted a couple sausages, yorkies, sauted mushrooms, butter peas, and gravy. It's pretty damn good.
Yorkies
My man is so desperate for flavor he’s eating the neighbor’s dog. Blink twice if you need help.
I had bangers and mash once because a family member made it. It was super good. She told me she couldn't get proper bangers and had to substitute with some other sausage. (Don't remember which) I presume that if she used proper bangers it would have been gross.
I can confirm that no "Brit" uses a semicolon like that. We're not barbarians.
he's also not complaining. Not a true brit.
