      Their point is: poor people recipes from Italy taste better than poor people recipes from the UK, generally.

      Your point is: it’s possible to make UK recipes taste better if you do them a certain way, specifically.

      They are speaking generally and you are speaking specifically. Hope that helps you understand.

        But I described the most basic recipe for spotted dick, made in the most peasant way possible?

        Brandy is the cheapest alcohol and easily home-made, the peasant-way of preserving both fruit and bread (/cake) in the UK, suet is more peasant than butter or other forms of fat because it is the rendered fat from discarded animal carcasses, but that process actually makes it more rich .

          You gave a specific example of one recipe, to combat the notion that Italian food is generally better. I don’t know how to explain it any differently to you, but you’re not having the same conversation as the rest of us right now.
