I sometimes wonder after the unusually high number of “British people try X food for the first time and are blown away” videos.

Then I started watching Great British Bake-Off, and it’s clear there’s some damn good food somewhere over there. The number of times I’ve envied Sue Perkins her taste testing job is extreme.

I honestly think British food is some of the most underrated in Europe. It is unfortunately a few years between each time I visit, but I am always blown away by the tea houses and pub food over there. Of course there is a lot of bad fastfood over there, but pointing to that alone would be like judging Norwegian food by our frozen pizza.

Fish and chip is awesome wdym

TLDR: it got better in 2000s but then it went down again because of raising costs.

I had bangers and mash once because a family member made it. It was super good. She told me she couldn't get proper bangers and had to substitute with some other sausage. (Don't remember which) I presume that if she used proper bangers it would have been gross.

Not British, but as someone who eats, food is food :3

Stargazy pie is pretty good.

If nothing else, a Full English is the best breakfast there is, so there's that.

Also, beans on toast is clearly superior to the American equivalent PB&J, and if you disagree, you're just wrong 🤷

The deep fried Mars bar is the pinnacle of cuisine tyvm

Going out to eat is eating some other ethic or nationality’s food.

I donno. I've had spotted dick. It's actually good.
