    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.

        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.

          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.

                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.

          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'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

      Fairly certain people shit because of British food. Eating that would fucking kill me.

      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
