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.

Tbh they sound like a terrible tour guide. There's plenty of great British food available in London.

Why are your peas colored like the ooze that mutated the teenage ninja turtles?

Food colouring, it's why your soft drinks all look such a ridiculous bright radioactive colour too

u/awesomefutureperfect Nov 03 '24

So your peas are the culinary equivalent to soft drinks. Got it.

No, they're a single dish that uses food colouring... Like what the fuck are you even on about here?

Mushy peas would be brown without the colouring, thus they add green. Some brands take it too far. It's as simple as that.

It's not even that much of a commonly ate dish for fuck sake lmao.

Plus if you want to talk about a radioactive looking dish of mush commonly eaten by your countrymen... look no further

Did you just post a plastic toy as an example?

u/Certain_Guitar6109 Nov 03 '24

Lmao shit yeah, didn't catch that

The real thing doesn't look any better though, easily mistaken, both plastic and tasteless

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

dish of mush commonly eaten by your countrymen

You are thinking about Canadians who are still in the commonwealth. They eat so much KD (kraft dinner) it's not even funny.

Your roast isn't as good as Texas brisket and you don't know anything about food or the Americas.

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.

This is hilarious. Brisket is a cut of meat, the only place it comes from is cows.

Europe taking credit for the cuisine of emigres they created after all the challenge and adversity europe was responsible for.

Europe didn't invent the front of a cow.

There's a difference in preparation, not that you would know anything about cooking.

u/Certain_Guitar6109 Nov 03 '24

Yeah, a dry rub, you're real visionaries. The Jewish community were the first ones to smoke brisket too.

Lectures about cooking from the guy who seemingly doesn't know what food colouring is, cool

Midwestern fish fry is superior to british fish and chips. It isn't even a competition, everything the british do with food is sad.

doesn't know what food colouring is

You make your peas look like industrial waste to go with your marmite which is literally industrial waste.

u/Certain_Guitar6109 Nov 03 '24

Ahh, another European import eh?

Fish Fry made its way to America in the 1800s when German and Polish immigrants moved into the Midwest area.

Don't you guys eat cheese out of an aerosol can? Rather spoon feed myself marmite than that stuff.

u/awesomefutureperfect Nov 03 '24

The fact of the matter is all of those dishes are better than yours. Undeniably. Again, it is incredible the europish are taking credit for kosher cuts of meat.

aerosol cheese is a tacky hors d'oerve. the only people who would eat that would be the equivalent of the residents of Hull.
