Slagging off our food! Heathen bastards!

Their bacon, for people who eat bacon, is thick and feels like moist rubber.

Blasphemy!

Aside from the great British Bacon sandwich, it has to be said we have some of the least imaginative and boring cuisine in the world. Yes there are one or two countries that have more boring food, but not many.

Yorkshire pudding and onion gravy?

Lancashire Hotpot?

Bakewell Tart?

Pork Pie?

We have loads of excellent food, sadly it is overshadowed by the mass produced shite our supermarkets sell and our food outlets serve. Yes alot of our traditional dishes are heavy and rich, that is because we live in a cold/wet climate for 8 months of the year and as a nation we tend to be very hard workers especially during the previous five centuries where that work ethic led us from being a small island state to a world superpower.

Apart from greasy spoon cafes, the vast majority of restaurants in London are foreign: Indian, Chinese, Italian, French, Middle Eastern, Korean, Japanese, Tapas, Greek, Turkish, Portugese, Argentinian, Irish, Polish, Ethiopian, etc. Not much Belgian (a couple of Belgo Restaurants (one in Covent Garden, one in Chalk Farm Rd), not seen any Dutch. There's one or 2 Scandanavian gaffs (one in South Ken). Even the top Michelin star restaurants are by and large foreign, so yeah, I agree with Ford that there isn't a massive demand for British Food, such as it is, but the article is based on one probably badly cooked breakfast & doesn't represent the pies & puddings & glorious roast dinners we do well.

lol

that "person" and i use the word generously, is a fucking imbecile

i know, lets trawl the internet for some bad photos of american "food" and write up shit about it

( i assume hes american, dunno, dont really care)

if he is tho, from a country that cant even cook bacon, i find any complaints about food pathetic

 

[cHodAX]

It is a bit different in the north I guess, there are still alot of good places up here serving refined versions of British classics and doing so with great success. I honestly think that we bash our own food too much and allow others to do the same, we always get beaten up with the old cliches but those people have never really tasted a wide range of orginal British food and what they have tasted it mostly supermarket shit or comes from crappy cafe's/restaurants.

Even a humble chip muffin (barm, bap, butty or whatever they call it where you come from) can taste great if chef knows his stuff and prepares his food with pride.

For instance, my triple cooked chips (fried in duck fat) between two slices of a homemade cob loaf which has been buttered with with best British butter is simply amazing to eat. A couple of foreign friends rave about it, one is Italian and you know what fussy fuckers they can be.

 

[megadave]

who gives a shit, not like English people can ONLY eat English food etc

English food dicks all over American food so i don't know what those yank caaants chat about all the time

 

[Lamp]

triple cooked chips

triple cooked chips are fecking amazing

 

[Ch3tan]

Well our good bacon is from Denmark, so....

 

[megadave]

i harvest my bacon straight from your mumma's booty

 

[Ch3tan]

My momma's from Denmark, so...

 

[ST^]

Someone there says most people take the batter off the fish and just eat the fish? WTF? Does anyone do this?

 

[cHodAX]

Actually British bacon is vastly better than any Danish bacon you can buy in the U.K. but our supermarkets keep selling your stuff because it is a good brand and marketing sells.

For world class bacon...

And then I see some twat calling mushy peas a "waste of good peas".

 

[Raven]

People who say British food is boring have obviously not tried to either eat or cook real British food.

British food is not just fish and chips and roast dinner.

Try buying your ingredients from places other than Tesco.

 

[cHodAX]

And then I see some twat calling mushy peas a "waste of good peas".

Indeed, they are fucking clueless.

 

[Ch3tan]

FS Cho, I was pointing out that our shit bacon comes from the Danes ;p

Anyway, British cuisine is a mix of cuisine from all over the old empire and a lot of influence from immigrants, so the idiot that wrote that is just that; an idiot.

For some reason I thought your post was by cOcoNutShoeZ! No fucking idea why!

Always found the further north I go the better the batter, light and crispy ^^

Haven't had too many from the south though so that may not be entirely accurate

And then I see some twat calling mushy peas a "waste of good peas".

This. Good mushy peas are awesome, the guy's clearly mad

There's definately some tongue in cheek in the posts though.

 

[Olgaline]

English breakfast, english pub food. ect...
it's all greasy and overcokked...and I wouldnt have it any other way..

Love it!
as long as I stick to only ever so seldom,

When ever I'm in brittan, I'll get all exited over the breakfast,
and you wont see me go near the "healthy stuff"

 

[Scouse]

Pork Pie?

I'd put that into the sack marked "wank".

Someone there says most people take the batter off the fish and just eat the fish? WTF? Does anyone do this?

I do a lot of the time tbfh. Can't be arsed with the lardy dripping shite. I'd much prefer grilled mackerel but they don't offer that at the chippy, and I do so love chips


The pics are typical of most greasy spoons around the UK tbfh. And they're not wrong about the bacon either.

Lets face it. Unless you're selecting the ingredients and cooking the food yourself it's rare to get a decent cooked breakfast anywhere in the UK.


But we still shit from a very very high height over almost all the American food I've ever eaten

only if you live in a right shithole

 

[megadave]

Some cafes round here are lovely. Fair enough though, there are some bad ones too.

You haven't had a good one then sadly bud, there is a butchers near me that make their own and imo they make melton mowbray look like amatuer hour shite.

 

[Scouse]

It's the fact that they're pork pies, with fucking jelly, that makes Melton Mobray pork pies look like amature hour shite.

It's 'cause they are

Alright Heston lol calm down man! Don't take it so personally, to be fair that photo did look flipping rancid...though it did have bubble and squeak which is lush.

I can't really say I love [insert particular country]'s food because (even with English) I have not eaten a wide enough selection to be so general...though Dutch pancakes fucking rock and Japanese food is really high on my list.

I think that article was obviously written by someone who has a deep desire to be Jay Sherman.

 

[Levin]

rofl.. abused hot dog!

Anyway, what's that thing called you guys in northern England (i think) like to eat? Like.. hungover food with everything in one? I think someone here posted a pic of it a while ago but i can't remember what they were called.. was some kind of pizza or something with fries and eggs and everything on it?

 

[Ezteq]

omg rofl Parmo haha...sweetie only northerners eat those, if a southener tried to it would kill them.

Oh yeah?
Best greasy spoon anywhere (IMO) is Pete's Eats in Llanberis.
Petes Eats

Good food and lots of it. Their idea of a chip butty is a dinner plater, a slice of buttered bread, a kilo of chips on top, half a kilo of cheese and another slice of buttered bread. Ok maybe I exaggerated the amounts a little (but only a little), but you get the idea.

Oh yeah, I also have a number of their pint coffee mugs.
