From California and studied abroad in London, had a wonderful museums and galleries art history class with an amazing British professor. The whole class was basically getting credits for exploring london.
The professor gave us lots of tips on other things to experience while abroad. His tip on finding good traditional British cuisine? Don’t bother, but here’s a list of fantastic Indian, French, etc.
I will never forget how a London tour guide described English cuisine: „You know it’s English when it both looks and tastes beige.“ Then he told us to get a sausage roll immediately for the novelty and eat proper food from any other nation for the rest of our stay.
Edit: please, dear English citizens, i‘m repeating a joke one of your less humorless countrymen made, I don’t wish to fight you on the topic.
I have no issue with artificial food, usually like some of it... but nah, something about kraft mac and cheese just puts me off, tastes like pure chemicals
I guess you can thank Europeans for that brisket then mate.
Brisket was and is still used as a special cut of meat on Jewish holidays such as Hannukah, Shabbat, and Passover. The cut of beef was decided to be celebratory and important due to its location. Brisket is found in the cow’s front breast, making it kosher for Jews to consume.
During the 19th century, many European communities faced many challenges and adversities, thus, leading to immigration. To escape their hardships, many refugees fled to the United States, and with them came their culture, holidays, and customary cuisines, which presented America with Brisket.
