This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion. But if I see one more Hennessy glazed wings, or wings stuffed with a full thanksgiving meal, or crab stuffed salmon or variation of Alfredo; I am going to scream! It’s literally the same food just stuffed into another of the same food over and over again. It’s probably purely online but all these caterers are doing the same thing and it’s genuinely boring. These chefs seem like one trick ponies and they all do the same thing.

This shyt is like fear factor. I’m going through the list trying to see what I can eat without vomiting and found MAYBE 4 things
Tbf some of them are not as gross as u think. However, the versions I’ve had are made by myself or by my family.


Side note whilst writing this I realised that I very rarely eat from other people. If I’m not at a restaurant or having takeout (which is hardly ever British) I don’t eat from other ppl. Also ppl never cook for me. :mjgrin:

Gimme some examples. I’m from the south so we never had shyt like this growing up. Just running through the list I can for sure stomach the fish, bacon sandwich and Sunday roast. Beyond that I’m struggling.

I’ve had Tika masala before and it was good. But that was from an Indian restaurant. The UK version might be awful, I dunno.

I’m gonna break some of the stuff down to give context, I know it may be a long post but I’m just trying to give as much info as possible.

Ok; Well Tikka Masala is purely an English dish you will not find it in Asia. You will also find curry dishes all across Europe. My partner and I went to Switzerland and they served him, chicken curry with coconut fried bananas and strawberries and kiwi. I have a pic somewhere. They also have curry ketchup and other things in Europe from the days of the Imperial colonialism of India.


Anywhoo.

Yorkshire Pudding is not sweet it’s literally a pancake batter baked in a muffin tin, you guys have them in America and call them pop overs.

What Americans call pudding is only considered pudding in America,I am referring to the non-Newtonian fluid of mousse like texture that’s not a mousse aka Jello pudding. For example what you guys call banana pudding is banana and egg custard, whip cream and biscuits (cookies). It’s not a combination we put together here but have have them as separate entities.

Side note, do you guys make your custard (the yellow stuff) from scratch?

This custard is the same base you would use for bread pudding and ice cream.


Fish and chips is just that, it needs curry sauce to make it good you would purchase this as an additional condiment.

Crumpets are a kind of bread, but has a spongy texture, toast and eat with butter.

A standard full English is bacon, eggs, sausage, beans and toast
  • our bacon contains the whole cut of bacon not just the thin strips you are used to. Your bacon goes crispier than ours because the strips virtually have a 1-1 fat to meat ratio because it is thinly sliced pork belly. Our bacon contains the pork belly aka US bacon as well as the back bacon which is lean )
  • Did you know our eggs aren’t kept in the fridge? you guys wash your eggs in something and so u have to keep them in the fridge so they don’t spoil. Our eggs keep for weeks on the shelf or counter.
  • Beans, what cracks me up Everytime is that u guys don’t know that baked beans are an American invention that came to England after a surplus of war rations after WW11 plus u know The country was broke and needed to feed the ppl so beans we’re actually not rationed. So win win for everybody I guess. Also your baked beans are exactly the same just bbq based and UK beans are tomato based with less additives.
  • Haggis and black pudding are not essential but are more regional. I’ve had both and they’re not that bad. Also the import of organ meat was banned in the states so would make sense as to why it would be unfamiliar to you. Also if I recall correctly organ meat was also banned from food safe products in the US by the FDA in the 30s or something so I can see how it would be gross to u guys as it’s not really apart of the zeitgeist. But around the world everyone else eats it.
  • Our sausage is also different. Our sausage would be fatty ground pork, lean pork meat, rusk or oats for fibre and spices such as sage, thyme, nutmeg paprika etc. These are uncooked, uncured and unsmoked. Very different to Kielbasa, or frankfurters etc which are more of an Eastern European influence that are your sausages. Remember when America was placing ads in the paper and was inviting Europeans over and selling them dirt cheap land to boost the white population, because the census in the 1800s told them that whites were the minority. That’s when they invited non Anglo Saxons over changed the definition of whiteness and those non Anglo Saxons brought their food practices. Think invasion of Ellis island.
I have to pop to the supermarket to get food for dinner tomorrow. I’ll be back. Food is the thread that hold the world together and so much of history can be told through food.

Is there a difference between a Shepard's Pie in the UK and a Shepard's Pie in the US? A Shepard's Pie in the US is usually cooked in a casserole dish or a cast iron skillet and it's layered ground beef(I mix mixed vegetables into mine as well), mashed potatoes, and cheese and baked in an oven.

It’s the same really. However a shepherd’s pie is supposed to be ground lamb and a cottage pie is ground beef. But most ppl just use ground beef.
