Including beans in breakfast is a British culinary achievement that I will never stop defending.
Beans for breakfast is also in Mexican food. So not weird to me.
Oh god, quesadillas for breakfast one day, baked beans the next, and ful another. Three different types of bread, and like at least four different types of beans. 😍
As an American, I ate a sushirrito and a pizza sandwich.
Beans for breakfast upsets you, you haven't lived.
Ate a what?
Oh no... no no no no no! This cannot be real
Nah, British are kings of pastries, pies and cakes. Also don't underestimate British cheeses. Cheddar cheese is the most popular cheese in the world, and where was it made? Britain. Then there's stuff like Stilton, Wensleydale, and while Somerset Brie is really just a variant of Brie, it's still really nice.
That's not even digging into the various curries that gained their current forms in Britain, mainly by British Indians, who are just as British as any other.
Fat Americans out here standing in the world's largest glass house hurling rocks with gay adandon.
Technically a lot of the classic curries are british food
Food in Scotland is great! I had great pies, roast pig, lamb, black pudding, haggis, cakes. It was all great. Hardly any veggies though, if you're into that kind of thing.
I don't remember where I heard/read it first, but someone said that the British eat like they're still going through the blitz. I thought that was hilarious, and it seemed true.
That semi-colon made me wretch.
Much like your colon after having British food.
It's weird because a comma or colon would have been fine, but a semicolon just feels wrong.
