Why is it that everything on this platform is about Linux, Star Trek and beans?
Beans (the furry kind)
Beans (Japanese sweets)
People shit on British food and come over here and make out its the best thing ever.
I couldn’t convince my girlfriend to try my pie with veggies and fat chips all covered in gravy. Then she ate it and said “actually that’s really nice”.
Like of course its a pie covered in gravy!
“british food” has come to mean “british food from ration times”, which is obviously going to result in it being dogshit because people had to stretch a hunk of ham over an entire week.
The UK has some of the best produce in the world. What the average person at home does is of course something else but that’s no different in a lot of countries.
As someone mentioned rationing didn’t help the image but also the drabness of industrial canned food in the brown seventies. And people just forgot how to cook.
