Agreed. People think British food is dull because they’ve not seen what British people have as a treat. Cases in point:
England
Roast Dinner with Yorkshire Pudding.
Melton Mowbray pies
Cornish Pasties.
Scotland
Haggis (yes, I’m citing this, Haggis is actually fucking delicious and versatile).
Cullen Skink
Shortbread
Wales
Welsh Cakes
Bara Brith
Glamorgan sausage
Northern Ireland
Fifteens
Paris bun
Gravy ring
That’s not even getting into the weird shit like Scottish Fast Food or what we’ve done with immigrant cuisine. Fuck, if you want a tour of Britain, try a fry up in every home nation because other than Sausage and Bacon, there’s a different spin on it in every home nation. People shit on British cuisine because they shit on Working Class food, or food people have when they’ve just come home from work and need something in their stomach. Beans on Toast is what people have for Lunch when they need something quick and filling, Mince and Tatties is what people have when they have mouths to feed. I don’t see Americans having home-fried chicken every day or making Clam bake or something, why would we have full on roast dinners every night?
