Let's be British food!

I'm the fact that baked beans are more popular in the UK than they are in Boston, where they were invented.

I'm the food snobbery of the London press.

I'm also the diet of the London press - ciggies, bacon butties and gin.

Really I am.

Would I lie to you?

Let's not. Their food is gross.

I’m the infinite variety of finicky but dull cookies that seem to have been invented as caloric consolation back in the dying days of the empire - we all get a turn during biscuit weeks on bake off.

British food?

Erm, I think I'll pass, thanks.

I’m commercialized Indian cuisine, mostly cheap meats drenched in salty sauces. With sides of ‘chips’ also drenched in dipping sauce.

I’m the cheeky visit to Wetherspoons because it’s the cheapest minimum standard for food and drink.

I’m the Two Fat Ladies. For all our madcap Wodehousian antics, there was something undeniably bleak about watching two self-hating lesbians eat and drink themselves to death on TV.

surely there must be some good food there. I had always heard that Irish food was awful and every single thing I ate in Ireland was delicious from the pub to the high end restaurant.

I'm food rationing. I started in 1940 and didn't end until 1954. I left an indelible stamp on British eating habits.

Ironically, I produced the fittest, healthiest generation of Brits yet.

I also produced some pretty innovative recipes... and a lot of sad, scrimpy ones.

I'm brown sauce and malted vinegar, condiments so strong that they'll singe your esophagus because the food sure is bland and needs us.

I'm fish and chips and I can be pretty fucking good when I want to be.

Diabolical when you think about it. The wind patterns blow the farts into France.

by Anonymousreply 38August 3, 2023 3:59 AM

OP, baked beans were 'invented'?

by Anonymousreply 39August 3, 2023 4:07 AM

R39, no, they grow on trees.

Right next to the brown bread bushes.
