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.

The biggest difference I’ve seen is beans for breakfast.

If you showed this to me and said it was the kindergartener platter at the local elementary (USA) I wouldn’t bat an eye.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
