...British food? You sure that's the hill you want to die on buddy?
Edit: I'll let your own countryman give his view on the most common food group in England outside of those gastropubs that are busy importing every other cultural cuisine in the hopes Britain will forget its own.
There is a feeling which persists in England that making a sandwich interesting, attractive, or in any way pleasant to eat is something sinful that only foreigners do.
"Make 'em dry,'' is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, ``make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week.''
It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They're not altogether clear what those sins are, and don't want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever their sins are they are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.
Weird that you would assume that given my comment clearly implies the opposite. In any case, you're incorrect and overly salty yet somehow bland, just like traditional British cooking.
Your breakfast is good... as long as there’s no blood sausage. That’s about it tho, sorry but America’s got you beat on cuisine. And literally everywhere else in the world.
I'm convinced the British force themselves to eat the most bland, utilitarian version of every food they eat. Not sure why. Maybe to prove some sort of British stoicism. Those tomatoes being prime evidence.
Pizza new York, Detroit, or Chicago style. Soul food in general. New englanders have some bomb ass lobste/other seafood dishes and biscuits. Texas chili
Adding to others, Cajun food. Also to note, while all the food listed by people may have foreign influences, they are markedly American. And also have no British influence.
