“Hmmm today I will eat beans on toast”
Shut the fuck up
If your British: don’t be
that's literally poverty food
if you were too poor to afford anything but breadMan, this is the kind of visionary thinking that allowed the English to conquer like half of the planet.
FYI, apparently it’s not common to have toast be the ONLY filling. You’re also supposed to put like deli meat, cheese and condiments in it, the toast I guess is just supposed to make the center crunchy.
Nobody actually eats toast sandwiches, they're just a meme. They're originally from a section of a 19th century cookery book that had recipes for sick people who can't handle rich food. During the great recession, for reasons best known to themselves, the Royal Society of Chemistry suggested that it would also make a great meal for poor people who can't afford anything else. Then a couple of trendy restaurants cashed in on the controversy by creating their own expensive variants.
That shit caught me off guard. A fucking toast sandwich is a thing. I need to go back to sleep.
With the way the English/Tories have been reacting the past few days, you could swear the First Minister already did!
I mean physically turn it into a new island.
Just dig a channel out of England's side of the border.
Yeah, I know what you meant, can't say I'm opposed to the idea either. I was trying reference the over the top reactions from Tories and English gammon to the First Minister stopping people coming to Wales from parts of England with lots of covid cases.
I renounced my british citizenship but I will never renounce beans on toast
I'm French, I only lived in the UK for two years and even I eat beans on toast now.
A full English breakfast is basically the best hangover cure in the world.
You can basically have any combo of the following: fried mushrooms, fried slice of bread, fried eggs, beans, hash browns, saussage, bacon, black pudding (blood saussage) beans, fried beefsteak tomato, toast and a buncha other stuff Ive forgotten.
Gets rid of the hangover and puts a healthy lining on your arteries.
I am vegan and a self loathing Brit. But I can confirm - a full English is a thing of beauty. I hope one day there’s a vegan alternative that’s just as good
Just drink a quart of vegetable oil and eat a loaf of bread - same experience.
Yeah there are decent vegan replacements out there but it's a bit hit and miss. I quite like linda macartney saussages and cauldron ones. Vegan bacons a bit tricker I think
During the World Cup in 2006 the British pub near my school put on a full English for games with England or the US. It was just the best thing, giant plate of food, back bacon, glass of beer and watching England triumph 1-0 vs Ecuador. Go to class to turn in my final and return to the bar and get slaughtered before noon watching Sweden vs Costa Rica. I miss that place so much.

I know this video. The work to transcribe it must have been painful.
Fuck off beans on toast is good. So is marmite, toad in the hole and spotted dick.
Yeah the country sucks though.
Yeah not being 100% serious. We do have a lot of weird sounding food tbh but it is a lot better than you'd think it would be.
Plus we are living on a cold, grey rainy island. Stodge reminds us of home.
marmite is the food of the gods
also great for vegans because of the b12
but i repeat myself 😎
I'm a big fan of adding marmite to recipes too, does well in stews and gravys.
my fav thing about brits is when americans insult them on twitter theyre like OY AT LEAST WE GOT HEALTHCARE AND OUR KIDA DONT DIE IN SCHOOLS like wow so funny. dont you have Romani people to go murder or the whole world to colonize 🤔
To the beans on toast defenders: get the fuck outta my thread, class traitor lookin’ asses
Beans on toast is proletarian as fuck, what do you have for breakfast, a kale smoothie?
I'm just about to have saussages eggs chips and beans for tea and there's nothing you can do to stop me
God dammit I just love this straight up racism so damn much. So funny
