Refried beans with scrambled egg, chopped bacon and jalepeno wrapped in tortilla - pretty good munching. THAT - I might try a bite just to see what it tastes like but I'd eat outside where can be spit out quickly.
What the hell happened to Britain (and Ireland for that matter) that the cuisine there is so shitty? For all their other faults, at least the French and Italians manage some good eating with a flair for presentation. Yeah, the typical American diet makes us a bunch of diabetic fatasses with high incidence of heart attacks and strokes, but at least it (mostly) looks and tastes decent when it isn't low effort processed garbage.
And it's not as if the typical British fare is particularly healthy by comparison, with all the carbs and starch. What an utterly depressing diet, in it's uninspired blandness.
I was in England for 3 months for a satellite dish install. My hotel room came with breakfast. There were baked beans every freaking morning. I lost about 15 pounds on that job. English food sucks.
It seem others here don't know Monty Python & why junk email is called spam? Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycKNt0MhTkk&t=4 They probably didn't watch Get Smart either. Starker was here.
Monty Python was a staple part of our viewing back then, burn a fatty and laugh our asses off, Faulty Towers came on next...Get Smart was when I was much younger I remember Agents 86, 99 and the Chief JD
British baked beans are a different flavor than typical USA baked beans or Boston Baked beans. More tomato and generally less molasses/backstrap. Never had bacon in it either.
Actual British Food is rather fine stuff. A good Sunday Roast is fabulous, a full proper breakfast noteworthy, and yes you can get proper pizza but it will be one of the Italian styles as a rule.
Much cuisine borrowed from the former Empire, so you will get awesome Chinese, Indian and less commonly some of the Island fare.
The tomato bake bean thing is sort of like saying that the packaged mac & cheese (simulator) "Kraft Dinner" is the height of culinary achievement in the USA.
Over the last few decades the Brits have had two things happen - the prepared meals in the supermarket or dedicated shops have taken off (and much is very nice) and secondly there is better access to organic grades of foods.
Ask for pickled eel if you want meat on it
ReplyDeleteJellied?
DeleteThe Brits, truly, know how to fuck things up...
ReplyDeleteAlthough that may be tasty it looks disgusting I don't think I could stomach it.
ReplyDeleteI'd eat it. It needs some bangers on it.
ReplyDeleteThey said, try it you'll like it. I did. Thought I was gonna die.

ReplyDeleteGrowing up in New Orleans where food is king, that wouldn't slide in a kindergarten cooking class
ReplyDeleteYeah, that wouldn't pass around here

I would rather have a full Monty breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI can help you with that; although you may not like the presentation.
DeleteLooks like a Half English, needs sausage and bacon.
ReplyDeleteJD
Boiled bacon.
DeleteHonestly though, we used to go have British breakfast in Iraq whenever possible. Nice change of pace.

ReplyDeleteThe only one's who know how to cook in England are Pakistani and Chinese.
DeleteBritish comfort food at its finest. Finish off with a nice slice of Spotted Dick (yes, it is a thing).
ReplyDeleteNo wonder why their teeth are like they are.
ReplyDeleteProbably no coincidence. I was just going to make that connection, meself.
DeleteNot truly British as it is missing spam.
ReplyDeleteThey have Hawaiians in England?
DeleteSpam, spam, spam, spam, eggs beans and spam...
