This looks like someone was afraid they might accidentally cook something.

Did you cook that using your camera flash?
Left it out until there was a break in the clouds
Gotta take it in before that UV hits it. What if it accidentally developed some color or flavor?
I was going to say something but this is way better.

everything on that plate looks like it should be boiled for a little bit longer.
Is it so pale because of the lack of sun?
I meannnn
Brit here, all the elements are correct but jeez please cook all of that for at least twice as long
Mate they’ve obviously boiled this long enough. All the colours gone
Mostly we just want to be sure it's dead.
Nobody visits England for the food.
Well no, people visit the UK to experience our culture and history.
When they arrive they are often pleasantly surprised that our food is actually quite good.
A proper fried breakfast with quality meats and good sundries beats an american breakfast hands down. Proper back bacon instead of that crispy streaky shit Americans eat, proper sausages instead of those shitty little cat turd "links", toast made from thick cut bread from a real bakery (or baked on site). God tier.
I challenge anyone to eat a proper shortcrust pastry meat pie made with slow cooked beef in a rich beer/red wine gravy with vegetables and chips and come away thinking it isn't anything other than delicious (unless they dont like pies....)
Proper back bacon instead of that crispy streaky shit Americans eat,
This is the only part I'll push back on being better, and even then, it's with some qualifications. Rashers are fine, and I think I even prefer them if it's on a sandwich or burger, but just sat on a plate? Slab bacon beats it every time for me. A nice, thick cut piece of streaky bacon is just more tasty to me, though you need the right balance of lean and streaky bits. Honestly, I think that's where rashers lose me at breakfast, they're just too far on the lean side, so you hardly get any of the nice, crispy fat bits, just a little strip of it at the edges.
Then again, I have no complaints with an Irish breakfast roll for breakfast if I'm feeling lazy, which, around here, gets you some sausage links, rasher, and a couple pieces of black and white pudding, wrapped up in the same sort of pastry you'd make a sausage roll with. Not the healthiest of breakfasts, but it certainly does the job when you're hungry and tastes great with some brown sauce on it.

I love English food. All of the British Isles do pub food to die for, especially in colder weather.

Needs mushrooms still I think. Or fried tomatoes, or black pudding if you are feeling fancy.

are they aware that the great war has ended?
Even the bread was boiled to prevent browning.
ragebait? I'm not even British this food just looks like it was intentionally cooked in the worst ways possible
Ah, so you're familiar with British culinary principles then..
Man the energy crisis has hit UK hard; they’re only half toasting their toast and parcooking their food.
Does it fuck. We'd at least cook it first.
Have you thought of cooking it?
Maillard would be very upset with the lack of caramalisation and browning on any of this supposedly fried food.

British people will only complain that there isn't enough
Hahaha in your house maybe :D
Deep boiled English breakfast
I mean that’s the literal raw ingredients yeah.
The mere fact there are 3 "sausages" but only one rasher of bacon tells me this person has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
Cooked with a withering glare.
It really isn’t. Please do not
Yikes!
The cuisine of England led their people to become the best sailors in the world.
Ugh wtt why is it all so pale
Cause there's fuck all sun in Britain
That looks so undercooked, where's the tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and hash browns?
By the look of that egg, it seems to have taken all the heat for itself, leaving the other protiens in the cold.
When you add beans to the plate for some color...
The sausages:
I'm offended and grossed, but I upvoted because that's about right.
im hiding this post in hopes that i never have to look at it again
Take the egg off the plate (probably best to fry a new one)
Throw the whole plate under a high broiler for 2 minutes
Return the egg
