    British food is thoroughly underrated. Who could say no to even a small part of a full english breakfast?

      I’d always say no to the black pudding >///<

      the rest is quite OK

      Fish and Chips are pretty nice (especially with a good sauce tatare)

          I mean, if I was British and said something nice about the British cuisine wouldn’t that be the Obama awading himself a medal meme?

          Just wanted to make the case that it isn’t completely hopeless, even if the sauce tatare is a bit of cheating I admit xP

      Vegans?

      Accepting in advance the downvotes from people who get fucking weird pavlovian style when they see that word in order to give you a straight and obvious answer to your question.

      Animals were brutalized to make half of it, the texture of the tomato is weird, and marmelade is too monotonically bitter for what is available to be combined with.

      Beans on toast are honestly the best part.

      But the real shame is that for an extra 10% of the price it could be so much better by adding spices. A full English isn’t depressing because of its materials but because of its potential.

      It’s fine food, sure, but it is on the low end of dishes that include its ingredients.

      (For the record, I’m Dutch, our “traditional” (read: late 19th century puritan) slop involves doing extra work to be actively hostile to flavor, making a full english seem indulgent).
