The food, the weather and the women made Britain a seafaring nation.

I sometimes wonder after the unusually high number of “British people try X food for the first time and are blown away” videos.

Then I started watching Great British Bake-Off, and it’s clear there’s some damn good food somewhere over there. The number of times I’ve envied Sue Perkins her taste testing job is extreme.

TLDR: it got better in 2000s but then it went down again because of raising costs.

British food is a lot like the english countryside - lots of earth tones in the palate and everything sounds different (but after your third slice of hamlet you realize it's all basically the same)

If nothing else, a Full English is the best breakfast there is, so there's that.

Also, beans on toast is clearly superior to the American equivalent PB&J, and if you disagree, you're just wrong 🤷

Stargazy pie is pretty good.

The deep fried Mars bar is the pinnacle of cuisine tyvm

I donno. I've had spotted dick. It's actually good.
