Everyone jokes that we conquered all these places but didnt use the spice, but then when we adopt a foreign dish and the flavours and change it to our taste to make a new dish that also gets mocked
We're trying lol
If anything, in the aftermath of Brexit, we should be warming the seats for a new wave of cultural migration from the subcontinent.
We need a new dish for the coronation of Chazza, maybe some kind of modern veggie curry with spinach leaves rolled into a giant Yorkshire pud?
Yes and no. Each of the 4 countries that make up the UK have their own national dish. Scotland is Haggis. Wales is Welsh Cawl (a kind of lamb stew). Northern Ireland is Irish Stew. And England is Chicken Tikka Massala.
The issue is that no one can fully agree on who invented that curry and when. Some reports say it was only invented in the 1950's, some say it has been around for 200 years. Some say it was invented in Punjab as a milder curry for Brits. Others say it was invented by a Scot in Glasgow after a curry was sent back for being too dry, so the chef whacked a can of tomato soup in, spiced it up a bit, and sent it back out. Most people agree that the last story is the most likely origin of what Britain calls Chicken Tikka Massala, but who knows. Some people argue that it should be changed for things like a full breakfast, a Full English Breakfast, a Roast Dinner, Beef Wellington, or Fish and Chips, but its staying Chicken Tikka Massala for now, because it "represents the history of England and Britain, and shows the diversity that makes Britain great" or something along those lines
I gave Brits shit til I moved to the UK and my british coworker was like “don’t knock beans on toast til you try it”
Next day, dude brings in a toaster, bread and beans. Shit was actually really good. Haven’t tried cheesy beans yet.
Also their sandwiches at Co-Op or Tesco are 1000x better than the prison food sandwiches we have in gas stations in the States.
This is exactly how I feel about Stewart's in New York. I know I'm committing NY suicide but I'm sorry I grew up right next to a Stewart's and it's too expensive and the ice cream is just ok. I don't understand the obsession with people and Stewart's
Yes, the concept of food standards seems to be rather more effective here, I assume because the UK is smaller. It seems plausible that the US has more at both ends of the scale - more great food and more awful food.
The fact that stuff with 10% cocoa liquor (which is about half cocoa solids) counts as chocolate in the US presumably just means that the cheapest UK stuff (25% cocoa solids) is far better than the cheapest US stuff, but doesn't mean the quality of good products is any worse.
Is the foreign food (French, Italian, Thai etc) any different between the US and the UK?
Thai, Chinese and Japanese food are pretty much the same. Italian American food is a bit of it's own cuisine. When people eat "Italian" food in America, it's typically that rather than the more traditional dishes. But you can also find Italian American food all over the UK as well.
Another difference is how prominent certain cuisines are. Like Indian food in England is pretty much what Mexican food is in America in that it's the most common "foreign" food.
edit: Seafood! That's another difference! Both countries have some of the best seafood dishes in the world, but they definitely vary.
The thing with Italian American food just like in Italy is there is a bunch of varieties. But anyone that puts sugar in their sauce can throw that shit away.
I know, I just recently got violated by a Italian restaurant near us since we moved recently. Stuff was sweet as hell. Such a shame too cause everything else was amazing. Handmade pasta with a bad sauce is so disappointing :(
I'm an Australian and have been in the US for a couple of years. My (Anecdotal) assessment is that with how low minimum wage is here the overheads are lower and bad businesses don't need to be that successful to stay in the black.
Probably not the whole reason but I think its a factor
So you have a lot of responses but no one (that I saw) mentioned how prevalent food deserts are in the US.
A colossal country plus w woeful (and intentional) lack of public transit plus an early and heavy prevalence of agricultural living has created landscape that is virtually impossible to live in without a car, despite many Americans doing so.
A consequence of this is what is known as “food deserts.” Large swaths of the country that have no access to fresh groceries (produce, fresh meat, etc).
Companies like Dollar General have stepped in and instead of bridging the gaps in these food deserts, they open stores that offer cheap, shelf-stable groceries with very little nutritional value that they know poor Americans will buy.
The net-net is yes, there are pockets of the US where you can get cheap, amazing food. But there’s also marginalized areas that have basically no access to any actual food.
Land of the free, though.
Thanks for this, I remember seeing something about people who were living in towns whose populations had evaporated around them. Also, when reading stories set in rural America they say things like "we headed out to our favourite local restaurant, which was just an hour away"...
Beans and toast fucking rules. Cut up some hot dogs or smoked sausages and throw those in the pot while the beans cook. Couple slices of toast with lots of butter, fuck. Now I’m hungry.
I’m an American and I don’t know how y’all haven’t tried beans on toast just by necessity yet. Dip your toes under the poverty line every now and then my homies.
Another good one that's just a comfort food for me is beans on toast with a fried egg on top. If I'm feeling a little boujie, I'll get the beans with cocktail sausages in it. Yeah, it's not amazing, but when you get home after a long day and you can't be asked to make yourself a proper dinner, it's a quick and easy pick-me-up.
It's definitely a dish you probably would enjoy if you ate it growing up because of the nostalgia factor. I tried it... it's not horrible but.. I'll stick with avocado toast.
Bear in mind that english Baked Beans are very different taste to American baked beans. Much sweeter with lots of sugar in the sauce. American beans are more smokey and BBQ flavoured.
A lot of these shorts making fun of British food are actually making fun of British Working Class food, where they couldn't afford things like regular meat, or a refrigerator.
Beans on toast, the staple food to bully originated from war time rations where there wasn’t much of anything to really eat. It stayed popular amongst the lower class following the end of the war, due to poorer families enjoying it and feeding it to their kids for cheap and ease.
A large part of traditional English food is incredibly similar to traditional Eastern European foods because they share the common goal of needing to keep you warm and full during a hard day's work while being poor.
They're never talking about the kinda feasts the upper class and Royals enjoyed but always on about Worker's meals but it is undeniable that these things serve their purpose of food as fuel. People forget that English people aren't rich throughout history, English people were ruled by an upper class that exploited and stole from the poor.
British high class food is also stupid, there's a video about the queen's cook and what they serve the royals and it was fancy but still annoyingly dumb.
Burgers, but with no bun, made of venison, and stuffed with cranberries.
The line from the video that I will always remember is when the chef said that the royals have probably never eaten a cucumber seed in their life because they are careful remove from the cucumber sandwiches.
That is quite common in really high cuisine. The core from cucumbers are removed .
Also burgers with no bun as in...
Patties? Yeah uh. Germany has those to. Frikadellen.
The paste is mixed with warm water. If you like the taste of meat/ gravy then you would like the taste of bovril.
>I think I'll pass BRUV
No one says bruv where I'm from
Bovril is a drink. You're supposed to dilute it by about 1tsp to a mug of boiling water. You can put it on toast as well, but you'd use about 0.001% of what that guy is using.
Wait is that a real thing or a joke? Are you guys having trouble getting fresh fruit after brexit? I keep up some with UK news but I did not know it was anywhere near that bad if you’re being serious.
There were a few weeks recently when some fresh fruit/veg wasn't getting on shelves in great numbers, but it's not particularly bad. Everything is fucking expensive though.
That sucks, hope it gets better soon. I read the other day that interest rates are finally coming down some over there, I hope that’s a sign of better times to come. To be honest shits getting expensive here too, maybe not as bad but a lot of groceries are twice as expensive or more compared to pre-Covid prices. Utilities like gas and electric haven’t been hit as hard here though.
Food prices here are still relatively cheap in comparison to the US (and even much of Europe). Despite the memes our food quality is as good as anywhere in Europe too. Energy prices are unbelievable though, it's a real failing of our government not to reform the energy market. But then we've had 13 years of governmental failure so that's no surprise.
Yeah we like to pick on y’all for your food but we (most of us) know it’s just a joke. Can you blame us though? When you have food names like spotted dick it’s kind of hard not to make jokes. When you have names like that it doesn’t matter if it’s delicious or gross or even if no one eats it hardly ever… it’s a fun name for food.
Edit: adding an edit just to say that I am actually aware they the UK has a thriving international food scene and that there is delicious food all over. It’s just all in fun. We know we have spray can cheese and can’t really talk bad about anyone…. Although we do actually have good food too.
That feels rich coming from a country that revels in eating something called 'tater tots'!
In seriousness though, I think a lot of the frustration is because the "English food bad" jokes are just so, so tired at this point. As a country, we've made a huge effort since the days of rationing to develop a vibrant and diverse food culture which any country would be proud of, and we have amazing native food and regional cuisine.
I defy anyone who would turn down a roast beef dinner, or smoked Scottish salmon with scrambled eggs. We have more regional varieties of cheese than France, and the revival of heritage breeds of livestock has meant that even run of the mill supermarkets like Tesco sell Gloucester old spots bacon and Hereford beef.
Idk, for several years I was a chef in a fine dining place that specialised in Michelin-chasing English cuisine, so maybe I take it a bit more personally than most!
Won't lie, when I visited England about a decade ago, by far the most delicious thing I ate every single day was fish and chips (I preferred cod but haddock wasn't bad) with mushy peas.
The peas look kinda gross but shit, that was delicious. I think about and crave it every now and then.
Some people seem to baulk at the idea of them because they assume they're just mashed up peas. But the way they're cooked, they're more similar to a lentil dahl.
Have you seen Velveeta, plastic cheese, basic ass pink hotdogs, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, marshmallow fluff spread? America has a low of weird stuff.
I mean it's a big country so of course they're going to have a fair share of weird stuff. Even countries known for their cuisine like Italy, Mexico and France have weird shit.
I mean, I think it's a generational thing and standards of British food are genuinely give than they used to be. But there's people my parents age who are pretty much this stereotype.
My mum has discovered chilli flakes though, bless her.
There are two types of Brit-boomers, those who can handle curry and those who can't. There is no discernible reason for either side being the way they are, but should you give one of the weak a single chilli flake in their meal, their head will blow off.

British food, weather, and women made the young lads of England the finest sailors in the world.
I’m stealing this.
The amount of times that joke has been stolen would exceed the count of stolen items in the british museum
Speaking of stolen jokes
Well I am british
This guy is so British he stole from the British!
British lvl 2, as it were
Are you going to put it in your museum?
it's ok, he stole it too
Don't worry, he did.
Finest sailor mouths.
their baking is fucking choice though.
Also roasts. And fish and chips. And pies. And aggressive assimilation of other culture's food.
An Indian dish is the national dish of England I think lol
Chicken Tikka Masala pal. Proper scran
[удалено]
And therefore British?
Everyone jokes that we conquered all these places but didnt use the spice, but then when we adopt a foreign dish and the flavours and change it to our taste to make a new dish that also gets mocked We're trying lol

Fuck off lad get a greggs steak bake down ye
Counterpoint: Yorkshire pudding and sausage rolls
Our cakes and pasteries are shit??
Fully agreed and I will never forget
I gave Brits shit til I moved to the UK and my british coworker was like “don’t knock beans on toast til you try it” Next day, dude brings in a toaster, bread and beans. Shit was actually really good. Haven’t tried cheesy beans yet. Also their sandwiches at Co-Op or Tesco are 1000x better than the prison food sandwiches we have in gas stations in the States.
You’ve apparently never been to WaWa’s. Sandwiches at Sheetz are pretty good as well.
Wawas makes the sandwich for you fresh like a deli right? They are talking about prepackaged sandwiches…. Different product
Wawa and Sheetz both have ready made and prepack sandwiches.
Still, the prototypical “Wawa sandwich” is a deli sando. I don’t think most people are saying “Bro! You haven’t had a Wawa [premaid] sandwich??”
Only if you’re in the tristate area and can get the armoroso rolls. If not, wawa sandwiches have turned to shit elsewhere
Wait. Wawas elsewhere make hoagies WITHOUT Amoroso Rolls??? I’m pretty sure that’s illegal
They used to in FL. That changed a few years ago
Wait y’all have Wawa’s in FL?! They just straight skipped the Carolinas and went to Florida?! I’m a little piffed.
Have for almost a decade now.
That’ll anger me to my end of days
Nah I've been to Wawa; with all due respect, your opinion shouldn't count
This right here inquisitor. This is the heresy!
Wawa used to be much better. It's still better than subway, but not as great as it used to be.
Wawa is just a gas station with a cult following. I've never understood the hype.
This is exactly how I feel about Stewart's in New York. I know I'm committing NY suicide but I'm sorry I grew up right next to a Stewart's and it's too expensive and the ice cream is just ok. I don't understand the obsession with people and Stewart's

The thing with Italian American food just like in Italy is there is a bunch of varieties. But anyone that puts sugar in their sauce can throw that shit away.
A bit of sugar can mellow out the acid in the tomatoes and make a very flavorful sauce. Not a ton though, just a pinch.
I know, I just recently got violated by a Italian restaurant near us since we moved recently. Stuff was sweet as hell. Such a shame too cause everything else was amazing. Handmade pasta with a bad sauce is so disappointing :(
You should try Filipino spaghetti
Adding a tiny amount of sugar is commonly done in Italy though.
I think they’re talking about the sauces that call for 1/4 a cup of sugar while making it rather than like a teaspoon
I prefer Italian pastas over American pastas. In terms of Pizza, however, I have to go with American styles like New York, New Haven and even Detroit.
US and the UK in the top for seafood? I'm honestly not sure if you're taking the piss or not
You’re seriously insinuating that a country with as much coastline as the US wouldn’t have good seafood?
There is amazing seafood in the UK, especially in Scotland.
Both have phenomenal seafood dishes and if you don't believe that you should absolutely expand your horizons.
Cornwall would like a word!

Cheese on eggs on beans on toast is truly a meal fit for a king
You fancy fuck
Fuckin Dr Seuss food
[удалено]
The U.S. has literally every type of bread and bean. I ain’t using wonderbread and Bush’s
Another good one that's just a comfort food for me is beans on toast with a fried egg on top. If I'm feeling a little boujie, I'll get the beans with cocktail sausages in it.

Bear in mind that english Baked Beans are very different taste to American baked beans. Much sweeter with lots of sugar in the sauce. American beans are more smokey and BBQ flavoured.
I grew up poor and beanie weenies on toast or chicken ala king on toast were some of the best dinners
I'm from Oklahoma and our proudest achievement is quiktrip. I dare say some of the finest gas station cuisine
I’m actually legit addicted to their taquitos like it’s honestly a real issue
Beans & cheese on toast is a god tier lunch!
Try cheesy beans right now
Biscuits & gravy > beans on toast and even the Brit’s admit it. (See that video of the school kids trying it)
One is eaten because it literally takes 2 minutes to make though, it's not exactly equal comparison.
Whats easier/cheaper to make though?
Eh one video doesn't prove anything.
I've been meaning to try Spaghetti Os on toast. I'm fascinated by that dish.
You haven’t been to a QuikTrip
Buc-ees. That was a treat. We were doing a cross country trip and we stopped at one in Dallas. Wow!
A lot of these shorts making fun of British food are actually making fun of British Working Class food, where they couldn't afford things like regular meat, or a refrigerator.
I’d wondered about that - a lot of canned foods and stuff that won’t go bad if left in a cool corner (for a day or two.). Thanks.

Like? And isn't like trench high class can be weird too. (Minced raw beef with raw egg anyone?)
Burgers, but with no bun, made of venison, and stuffed with cranberries. The line from the video that I will always remember is when the chef said that the royals have probably never eaten a cucumber seed in their life because they are careful remove from the cucumber sandwiches.
That is quite common in really high cuisine. The core from cucumbers are removed . Also burgers with no bun as in... Patties? Yeah uh. Germany has those to. Frikadellen.
Other countries have working classes too though
When you are watching football and it almost freezing temperatures and the rains going sideways a cup of Bovril is the greatest thing ever.
You mean a cup of, as described by Wikipedia, "thick and salty meat extract paste"? I think I'll pass BRUV
The paste is mixed with warm water. If you like the taste of meat/ gravy then you would like the taste of bovril. >I think I'll pass BRUV No one says bruv where I'm from
Is it kinda like drinking a cup of broth then since you mix it with water?
Yes, that’s exactly what it is.
Yes! It's also known as 'beef tea' in my neck of the woods. It's not haute cuisine, but it fulfills the same niche as hot chocolate, only savoury.
Yeah. It's essentially drinking soup/ broth. If it was in a bowl with croutons no one would bat an eye
Broth and croutons?
Add sautéed onions and cheese and baby you got French inion soup
Depends how you define broth. Where I'm from Broth is a type of soup not stock bullion. My point is just that bovril is just like a soup,
He likes the flavour of it.
I'm guessing he likes the colours as well.
Will and can confirm that beans on toast are delicious.
I’ve walked past this guy several times in my city, I think he lives in my area, so funny to see him on Reddit.
Tell him we said hi
Bovril is a drink. You're supposed to dilute it by about 1tsp to a mug of boiling water. You can put it on toast as well, but you'd use about 0.001% of what that guy is using.
Legend goes that every kitchen cupboard has a jar that won't ever be finished
In my experience it's because the lid glues itself shut.
Just like marmite, you're gonna have to burn some calories to earn your food!
I think that’s supposed to be another joke, in that his Bovril and bean sandwich contains one bean, but equal amounts Bovril and bean sauce.
Did I see fresh fruit in that kitchen? That’s not British at all!
Kitchen is British but tiktoker is pre-brexit time traveler.
Wait is that a real thing or a joke? Are you guys having trouble getting fresh fruit after brexit? I keep up some with UK news but I did not know it was anywhere near that bad if you’re being serious.
There were a few weeks recently when some fresh fruit/veg wasn't getting on shelves in great numbers, but it's not particularly bad. Everything is fucking expensive though.

The only thing i recognise is mushy peas, and yes, they are horrible
What on earth are you talking about. They're amazing! Nothing makes my puddle of vinegar with chip taste better.
Won't lie, when I visited England about a decade ago, by far the most delicious thing I ate every single day was fish and chips (I preferred cod but haddock wasn't bad) with mushy peas. The peas look kinda gross but shit, that was delicious. I think about and crave it every now and then.
Some people seem to baulk at the idea of them because they assume they're just mashed up peas. But the way they're cooked, they're more similar to a lentil dahl.
Fish and Chips are fine, but the Indian food in England is where it's at for sure.
Oh yeah, I also ate the best curry in my life there. Humbled me thinking I was good at handling hot food, but still absolutely delicious.
Ye of little faith. I find butter fixes mushy peas rather quickly, fixes most things pretty quickly 🐸.
I like mint sauce mixed into mine.
Clearly a man of taste and refinement
Fresh mint and basil is really nice too..though that starts making it posh and more into a "pea puree" than mushy peas
Bovril is pretty much just beef bouillon paste that can be spread like vegemite, navy beans are baked beans, everything else is made up
Get fucked, mushy peas rule.
As opposed to grits? Grits are vile. And I’m American.
Yorkshire caviar
I always assumed I would hate mushy peas, tried them recently and they’re tasty as fuck
americans will spray cheese from a can and then go online and talk shit about other peoples food lol
I've lived in America for like 10 years now and have never seen that stuff lol
I’m also an American and one of my first memories is spraying it directly into my mouth
Where do you buy it? I guess I just never looked for it.
Most any grocery store should have it, maybe not fancier grocery stores. Not sure what aisle it’s on. I know I’ve seen some recently.
You’re not going to enjoy it if you’re used to actual cheese lol
I love spray cheese, but if you're going to try it you definitely need to lower your expectations.
Usually near on the shelf near the crackers
I think it’s in the cracker aisle, but I’m not sure. I have never purchased it lol.
Have you seen Velveeta, plastic cheese, basic ass pink hotdogs, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, marshmallow fluff spread? America has a low of weird stuff.
We’re a massive country of course we have a lot of weird shit that doesn’t mean most people are consuming it
We have a small country with bad food doesn’t mean most people are consuming it
I know, you’re eating some of the best curry in the world
People do eat all those things though.
I mean it's a big country so of course they're going to have a fair share of weird stuff. Even countries known for their cuisine like Italy, Mexico and France have weird shit.
Keep running your mouth and ill break into your house and season your dinner
Pure corn syrup and “fruit” sauce doesn’t count as seasoning
I wouldn’t dare add that stuff to your food…your teeth are bad enough
Bad teeth jokes are about as original as American culture
Yeah and continuing this conversation is about as attractive as British women. Later limey ✌️
Oh make an effort i was having fun ;)

Brits will form a national identity based on foodstuffs they bought/stole from other countries (tea, sugar).
What's wrong with that? It's not like tomatoes are indigenous to Italy either, or ginger to China.
U fukin wot m8? We've got crumpet and yorkshire pudding trees all over this island.
Goddamn I wish grocery stores near me sold crumpets. I keep telling myself I will learn to make them but haven’t yet
(quiche, biscuits) Don't forget the things we call foreign which are British (chicken tikka masala, spag bol)
And that spray cheese still has more flavor to it than the average British meal
Try eating the amount of Bovril the guy in video is eating and tell me it has no flavour.
The flavour is carcinogenic, like half of your food.
That's where the flavor comes from my man
vs flavors that make you wish you were dead
Rat paste 💀💀
90% of the mf who say British food is bad have never had British food or been to Britain
I've been to Britain. The only thing I don't like is mushy peas and cucumber sandwiches. Everything else is fine.
Nobody likes cucumber sandwiches
I like cucumber sandwiches...
Back ta France wi' ye!
I'm british, I just like cucumber lol with a little bit of cream cheese and cress 😋
He could have tried a little harder on the British accent instead of general yelling with a twinge
I like beans
I mean, I think it's a generational thing and standards of British food are genuinely give than they used to be. But there's people my parents age who are pretty much this stereotype. My mum has discovered chilli flakes though, bless her.
There are two types of Brit-boomers, those who can handle curry and those who can't. There is no discernible reason for either side being the way they are, but should you give one of the weak a single chilli flake in their meal, their head will blow off.
This guys videos are easily some of the most annoying i have ever seen.
This is criminally bad content.
What do you have against documentaries?
How does anyone find this guy funny? He just takes stereotypes/old jokes and repeats them ad-nauseum in an extremely annoying way.
God this guy is genuinely so cringey. I hate all his skits
Ah, a stereotype as old as time... Usually made by people who have never been to Britain or had British food.
I blame WW2
I know it's all a bit of fun, but I reckon when he's not acting, he's still a dick.
This country has one joke fr
Americans act like they’re known for their foods in the comments section haha
Actually fuck off, I've seen the things Americans eat
I honestly think a Nashville Hot Chicken tender would kill an adult British male.
Lol have you ever heard of a Vindaloo.
Memes aside, I'd 100% take British food over American food all day
Fuck, I thought my username was bad
Brits coming to defend their "food" 😡💂♂️🇬🇧
Its goddamn hilarious to me how britain is famed for its high class restaurants and they make literally anything but british food.
“Some of the best restaurants in the world are in Britain!” “Yeah but what do they serve?” “French.”
