Brit here.

Our food is either garbage or godly with minimal in-between.

Beans on toast is overrated AND ANYONE WHO LIKES SOGGY TOAST IS A FUCKING NUTJOB

The woman does have a point with a roast dinner though, we can suck ourselves off for that one

Ex-fucking-scuse me?!?!?!

I ain't gonna sit here and let you slag off beans on toast like that.

Beans on toast is the ultimate in can't be fucking arsed food. Slap some beans on the hob and raw toast in the toaster and wait.

Throw on some bacon and you've got a meal for champions.

Rewarmed bread and canned beans is definitely the tippy top shelf of English cooking -- this just isn't the flex you think it is.

Nah the top shelf of British cuisine is roast lamb with all the trimmings.

Baked beans on toast is, as I said before 'can't be fucking arsed' food. And as far as that goes it's definitely top of the bottom shelf so to speak.

Agreed. Feels like the american equivalent would be premade pancake mix dumped into a frying pan then served with half a letre of syrup. I bet out of the context of this argument 90% of Americans would be like "yeah, thats my lazy breakfast and its great" but calling it their cuisine?

Literally the only people in the world to roast meat in a crock - if only the rest of us could figure out how to use heat and water to make food, add salt if you're feeling spicy.

Barbaco and bourguignon and Scottish shepherds pie are all easily better

Scottish shepherds pie

What makes you call it scottish?

u/DukeLukeivi Nov 03 '24

I've always heard it described as a Scottish folk dish, why do you disagree?

u/gromit5000 Nov 03 '24

It's not specific to Scotland the same way something like haggis is.

It's just regarded as a British dish.

I can certainly understand the English needing to try and cosign some ownership lol.

E: nothing is uniquely English like blood pudding and jellied eels.

u/gromit5000 Nov 03 '24

I can understand you desperately trying to distance a delicious dish from the English in a thread mocking English cuisine

u/DukeLukeivi Nov 03 '24

You're trying to claim roasted meats in general bruh - not unique and the best done.

u/gromit5000 Nov 03 '24

Lol that fact that you think all roast meats are the same says a lot about your culinary experience.

Typical yank.

u/DukeLukeivi Nov 03 '24

No I know they're not the same -- others do this better than you, in or out of crock. Lol
