ITT people believing the self-deprecating jokes white cultures have been telling about themselves are actually 100% true
Funny how much the yanks bring this up to distract from their own food culture.
The rest of the world thinks that Britain doesn’t use spices, what we don’t know is that for some reason, we seem to use them in our confectionery.
We really like ginger.
I like Gingers as well.
Everyone always forgets that Chicken Tikka Masala is a British dish and one of the most popular meals in the country
Navy beans and tomatoes are both native to the Americas, does that count?
The British eat so much Indian food it’s crazy. There’s a Nando’s on damn near every corner in London.
Nando’s is South African
It’s just like how in America there is a Mexican restaurant in every small shitty town.
Isn’t it because they considered spices for peasants?
France too! French cooking is WILDLY overrated, they coast by on their desserts and pastries and those are just good cause butter
The best Italian restaurant I ever ate at was in Paris, and I’ve been all over Italy.
It was a near thing. But the French do not fuck around with their cooking.
those are just good cause butter
Paula Dean’s food is good because of butter.
Julia Child’s food is good because of experience.
Britain stole all those historical artifacts and culture but couldn’t steal a recipe.
We’ve stolen lots of recipes. Modern British cuisine is basically a massive rip-off of of every other country’s cooking smashed togethr.
Fusion, if we’re being polite about it.
Anyone shit talking fish fingers is going to get a visit from me and my sledgehammer in the middle of the night. You’ve been warned!
Leave my motherfucking fish fingers out of this!!!
I have eaten fish fingers in the UK and fish sticks in the US. The UK ones are delicious. This meme is not from someone who has ever eaten them.
Do you like fishdicks?
Fish don’t have hands. Where do the fingers come from?
Fish fin
gers was just added on as time went by
… you don’t want to know
Walking down a high street in the UK. I smell loads of spices from even the shit takeaways.
curry doesn’t count.
Why not? If that is the case then American cuisine is limited to corn syrup and growth hormones.
Lol. You went to Florida and only ate fast food, didn’t you?
No, because if you deny everything British that is similar to something else you must do the same for everything American. Doesn’t leave you with many options.
Because including any kind of Anglo infusion cuisine would go against the narrative that food in the UK is bad.
There’s more than one American cuisine. Southern, Northern Mexican (Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, etc), New York (basically fusion of Jewish and Irish in a few things), American Chinese, etc.
American fast food is common, but not the whole thing.
Nope, if Britain can’t have anything similar to another culture then America can’t have anything Irish, Jewish or Mexican either.
I wouldn’t even mind such a dinner. A clear red flag is people who boil meat or don’t use any oil anywhere.
Look at this guy. This guy doesn’t even soup
I read your comment while eating a stew with sausages in it. Okay. You’re right. Boiled meat can be nice under certain circumstances, which reminds me of Fondue Chinoise, where you basically boil your raw meat in hot broth.
What I had in mind: cooking chicken in plain water for 30minutes.
Fish finger or chip sandwiches are great hangover foods. Once you understand that you will be closer to understanding British cuisine.
The curry or kebab was from the night before and that absolutely has spices. In the morning you go with fairly plain carbs.
I dated a British girl in high school. She microwave broccoli in water. No salt or seasoning. No butter. No nothing.
She took it out, drained the water and told me her dish was done.
That was the last time she made anything for us.
I feel like I’m missing something, was her task not to cook the broccoli? What is meant by “dish”? It is just broccoli? Am I Bri’ish?
Sounds like me, except I would drink the broccoli water.
Once you reset your palette, cutting out excess salt and sugar and cheap fats, and processed foods, you learn to enjoy the taste of whole foods all on their own. Salted ourselves to taste, which is far less than processed food will add.
Yeah but… microwaved? Just switch that for an oven and we might have terms.
…there’s gotta be a healthy solution somewhere between industrially processed meals and plain microwave-boiled broccoli
The fact that you think it can only be one or the other is really fucking sad.
No! If you don’t take an extreme stance on this topic, you might be seen as boring!
A toaster oven, or regular oven I guess if you’re fancy, some olive oil and a sprinkling of red chili flaked will get you done delicious roast broccoli (400°F/205°C for ~15 minutes)
Oil makes a huge difference. Or butter. Even fat drippings, like turkey gelatin from cooking one.
There’s somewhere between 10 and 20 spices in the food pictured, why do you think its orange?
onions and tomato
Bean juice?
Use sparingly:
Salt
Pepper
BBQ rub seasoning from ???
Onion powder
Garlic salt
Misc. dried Italian herbs you’ve owned for years
Anything else left in your pantry
BBQ rub seasoning from ???
gets color primarily from paprika. almost always
sparingly
onion
garlic
Garlic and onion seasonings are measured with the heart, not the brain.
Camping advice from a feral Redneck, throw garlic and onion powder in your pack. It’ll come in good if you need a bit of oomph for your food, or you pull a me and over season the unholy amalgam of top ramen noodles and flavoring, chili, mac and cheese, and a hot dog tasted meh but the calories meant I didn’t need to eat for 30 hours so it was fine.
no. that's a little overkill, dude
bring the whole garlic braid. either braid it into your hair or wear it as a belt. you never know when you might need emergency rope.
bring green onions (not scallions) to plant along the trail so next time, you don’t have to bring onions you can just harvest them. first year, bring shallots to eat. fuck, plant the whole allium family. and some parsley, thai basil, thai chilis, you know what we’re going to need an herb garden. just try to get the same campsite every year.
I mean the beans mostly get their color from the molasses and sugar but lots call for Worcestershire sauce which is going to have a bunch of stuff.
Baked beans outside North America don’t have molasses, and generally only a small amount of sugar (if any). The colour in British baked beans is from tomatoes.
Tomatoes are my favorite spice
“spices”, in this context, is Obese American for " salt, butter, and bacon grease"
my dude have you ever gotten a sandwich in Ljubljana? It’s bread, salt, butter, and bacon grease. that’s it. And they’re fucking amazing. I don’t think europe has any room to criticize.
The bread in Europe isn’t drowning in sugar like American bread though
Ha ha, that is the holy trinity.
But spices are used to disguise low quality ingredients just like the aforementioned salt, fat, and sugar. Namely garlic and onion powders, which are added for that purpose to all manner of processed foods that they aren’t elsewhere. IE italians are aghast at pizza sauce having garlic in it.
