I literally don't get Americans on here. They shit on British food and when Thanksgiving comes around they eat what seems to just be a traditional Christmas dinner, or a Sunday roast.
British and American people eat the exact same stuff. I've literally never seen a piece of US media that had me surprised at what I saw.
There are some differences of course but your average American isn't eating creole food or Tex-Mex on a daily basis.
I can't tell if beans are different in America. They're in a very mild tomato sauce in the UK. They can usually be quite salty which is why tend to match well with a lot of other breakfast items.
There's a reason the Full English Breakfast is also sometimes called an All Day Breakfast. One of those could easily hit 100% on all your recommended daily intakes.
Beans are in a corn syrup sauce in the US, they're way too sweet. Apparently the British style beans can be bought in the USA, though. Wikipedia info below:
The American product contains brown sugar where the British beans do not, and the U.S. product contains 14 g of sugar per 16 oz tin[24] compared to 7 g for the British version (equating to 140 versus 90 calories). The U.S. beans have a mushier texture and are darker in color than their UK counterpart. This has resulted in a situation where the product is now imported back to the brand's home country. For several years, UK Heinz Baked Beans have been available in the U.S., either in different-sized cans from those sold in the UK or in a 385-gram can (the same can as the 415-gram can in the UK) with an "export" label with American English spelling and the word "baked" dropped from the title on the label. These are sold in many U.S. specialty stores, attesting to the popularity of baked beans and their appeal to expatriates. Bush, Van Camp, B&M, and Heinz all produce pork-free baked beans labeled as vegetarian beans, making this American dish available to people who abstain from pork for religious, dietary, or ethical reasons.
It's weird it states pork-free specifically because I've never considered them a pork product. You can buy them with pork sausage in them but its not the main brand.
A lot of baked beans are traditionally made with pork fat/lard in the US for some reason.
That is strange. They're basically a vegan/vegetarian staple in the UK lol
If you showed this to me and said it was the kindergartener platter at the local elementary (USA) I wouldn't bat an eye.
The damn brtsh are BRAINWASHING AMERICA'S YOUTH with their shitty carb-based POISONOUS CUSINE to DESTROY AMERICAN'S unique food CULTURE!
Yanks taking a self-depreciating joke seriously? Think they're getting scared lads.
Also anyone calling this disgusting? This is literally just normal food lol. Get over yourselves. Yeah, I'm sure onion rings are literally the worst thing you've ever seen.
As a Brit trapped on Terf Island posting here and drinking beer in yard measurements are my only solace. :virgil-sad:
This is literally just normal food lol.
Like, I'm not going to say I don't absolutely enjoy this kind of food but this is not 'normal food' lol.
You could buy this in any Anglosphere supermarket anywhere.
It's normal. It's not adult food but it's not crazy.
oi u fokin wut m8? you kno wut bruv, ill have u fokin know I graduated top of my class in the Royal fokin Navy, been involved in numerous secret raids on tha fakin' Irish, I have over 300 confirmed colonies.
It might not be disgusting, but the oil alone on that platter has gotta be well over 2k calories.
There's no way someone took this pic and then threw out all that food, smh.
I could eat this easily, besides the alphabet spaghetti. Yuck.
Without knowing what this is from though, it could just be a party platter or a promotional image for something like that. Whatever stops me thinking that this is legit someone's idea of dinner.
I really hope it is but even if they're splitting with 2-3 other people that's most of their calories for the day.
People shit on British food, but they’re looking at it from the wrong perspective. We laugh at it for all being brown and fried, but we’re not considering the environment from which the food was born. British culture is entirely centralized around the pub. They may not have many colors or spices, but it’s the best damn bar food in the world.
this photo isn't all that bad either. at least it doesn't have fuckin beans touching everything
You kidding? This is the worst looking, least appealing junk food I've seen in a while. That pizza looks like Celeste microwavables, the onion rings look dry, cheesesticks look dry, nuggets look dry. Where are the flakes on the fried stuff? It all looks like it was plucked from the frozen food aisle.
It was from the frozen food aisle. I think it's a joke. BabyBel isn't even a British company.
That pizza looks like Celeste microwavables
that's what makes it good.
That's scraping the bottom of the barrel of frozen pizzas....tostinos, Tony's, DiGiorno's literally take you pick of anything else.
You ever been so fucked you had to reach for a Roma? Not a good pizza pie. Mamma fuckin' mia... :doomjak:
i mean the bar is so fuckin low, im just happy it doesn't have the beans covering most the food. it's all just frozen premade shit, not all that different from what a ton of Americans eat tbh. It's not as appealing as a regular fry up though yeah
Even the foreign food in England sucks. When I was in London I had curry and I could taste the Heinz ketchup.
big oof. i really thought that is like the only thing good they did too
There is a lot of good curry in London. He just managed to find shitty curry. Like it is possible to find shitty pizza in New York, shitty doner in Berlin etc.
yeah definitely. i've watched enough street food type of channels to know there is good food in every inch of this world
It all looks like it was plucked from the frozen food aisle.
It is. You can get onion rings and cheese sticks looking exactly like these at Aldi. They're not bad for frozen food aisle stuff, but of course they'll look like this when you prepare them in an oven instead of deep-frying them.
Obviously it's going to look super gross with that much of it on one plate. Turn it into a meal that people would actually eat by removing 90% of it, and adding some kind of veggie and it would look... still not super appealing, but at least I wouldn't want to vomit.
i don't like it. don't like american style bbq beans at all either. love beans, but i do more of a mexican style and the many variations mostly. i grew up on that shit
i'm down with fried foods in moderation so i guess we just differ here
never had those waffle style potatoes but they remind me of the carl's junior waffle fries which i fuckin love. i'd fuck with that onion ring too, love a good onion ring
People shit on British food
Fairly certain people shit because of British food. Eating that would fucking kill me.
A lot of the British food I miss is home cooked comfort food that's perfect on a rainy day to warm you up. Hot pot, pasties/oggies, shepherds pie, etc.
The best "bar" food in the world is Turkish and Arabian, followed by Mexican.
Pish posh! The only acceptable pub foods are:
- Crisps
- Nuts
- Pork Scratchings
- Toasties
- Scotch Eggs
- Pickled Eggs
- Pickled Cockles/Wrinkles/Mussels
If you're getting fancy and into food territory then maybe:
- Small pies
- Sausage roll
- Chicken In A Basket
I eat garbage junk food and this makes me want to vomit.
i mean... stick one of those (what i assume is) fried chicken things on one of the waffle-ish looking blobs with some lettuce and tomato, its more or less a chicken sandwich. albeit unhealthy. could eat it with those b e a n s and (what i assume is) a cheese stick.
plus, im a firm believer that one can have little a shitty pizza, as a treat
:bean-think::chonky-bear:
this giant pile of fried food-substitute-product™ is gross tho, for sure.
also wtf are the bowls that arnt beans even?
candy/chocolatestick what? chips of some kind? beans. wtf-goop?
The sticks are cadbury fingers. The other goopy one that isn't baked beans looks like some kind of spaghetti-o.
a traditional bri*ish meal:
baked-bean slop and spagootioots-yum w/5kg fried-product and choco-stick for dessert
:cat-confused:
shouldnt pro-anglo food propaganda be of people making barley, oat, rye, something... and a fucking meatpie ?
I mean, it is pretty clearly not meant to be a serious post. CasualUK is pretty self-deprecating.
:shrug-outta-hecks: irony is dead. i just assume the :reddit-logo: folks are really into fried shit
it doesn't make me feel sick like that, i mainly just loose all energy and my day is done
It's spaghetti alphabet. Probably the one thing on here that genuinely is foul.
I haven't had it since I was a kid but I remember the sauce being thin and the spaghetti was soggy.
I'd eat all of this if it were vegan because I am a garbage disposal incased in human flesh.
I do want me some dinosaur shaped pans or molds. Would it make my food better? You bet Jurassic would.
Baked beans, Skips crisps, and the little battered fish fingers (in fish shapes) are the only British food I can see there apart from the little bowl of unironically good biscuits and chocolate.
Damn the british elite are engaged in a program of mass extermination through diet aren’t they?
