British food is basically fine, you can joke about it sure but its a lot nicer to try and find shit you like about a cuisine than just turning making jokes about it into a personality trait.
Also if you gotta reach for the poorest people slop and food that has only been served as novelty within living memory, then firstly you’re doing fucking “this hoe eating crackers” but for a whole countrys food and should get better material cause its unfunny as fuck, and secondly whatever your favourite cuisine is probably has some maggot cheese or baby piss eggs buried in a dark box somewhere too and you should simmer down a bit.
I’m basing it on the majority of British cuisine sounding like the same generally tasty and good savoury stuff Ive eaten most of my life, not super fancy yeah and there isnt usually a ton of spices, but you can pair it with stuff like jams or pickled vegetables to brighten up the dishes, which is one of my fav flavor combinations.
If I can cheat a little one of my favourite stews to make right now is a Guiness stew with a bunch of roots and mushrooms in it, also like to add a little HP sauce into it cause it works pretty good as a stew ingredient.
Yeah ok libsoc is gonna come try and roast me, buddy you probably eat childrens souls like you’re a fairytale beast or something, go away.
A meat and potato pie in a bread roll? Fried bit of potato with some peas in a bread roll?
At least go for the jellied eels if you’re gonna do exactly the thing I said, moron. This shit is literally fine, its just regular fast food type stuff but presented with a funny accent.
fake meat burgers tremble before the might of the humble bean burger
I went to burger king once recently and asked if they still had the old garden burger NOT the impossible whopper. She acted like that was a crazy question and said there never existed a burger king garden burger.
I’ve been (at least) vegetarian my entire life don’t you gaslight me. :owl-pissed:
All this beyond meat and impossible meat stuff is bs. It just exists to make shit more expensive. Just give me a veggie patty damnit.
:10000-com: agree. Lentil burgers are also great, and i prefer jackfruit burgers over meat surrogate patties as well. I’ve been veggie for decades, i love eating plants, i want to have chunks of legumes and vegetables and grains in there. Some of this stuff comes so close to actual meat that it becomes kinda disgusting for me, i used to be an “i just don’t like meat” vegetarian before i went vegan. So if something’s too meat-like, i get kinda queasy.
Now i don’t think it’s a bad idea to have an alternative for people who like meat. there’s also some fake meat stuff that i really enjoy once in a while, like the veggie shrimps at that one vegan restaurant or the vegan lox that Aldi sells now in Germany. It’s always good to have more vegan options, and it’s good when going vegan doesn’t require people to give up on too much food they like. But it’s kinda sad when the “plant-based meat surrogate” stuff does not complement the bean burgers and the jackfruit and the tofu, but when only one of them gets offered for economic reasons - that always ends up being the fake meat version, because the market share of flexitarians, carnies doing a veggie day once a week and vegans who really want their meat replacement is just bigger than the market share of people with a strongly herbivoral appetite like me.
Any DIY recipe you’d recommend ? I have been guilty of using pre-made vegan burgers too often, because making good ones yourself seems somewhat hard.
i use this as a baseline, then just add stuff/change stuff as i feel like it
You ever tried a wild rice burger? I had one at a restaurant once and it was good.
Everything is better with spicy peppers in it. Everything.
Fusion cuisine is good actually and anyone that cares about “authenticity” is a nerd.
I think people should take authenticity to the extreme and cook European foods without all of these crazy ingredients from the new world. I’m sorry but tomatoes, potatoes, and corn are now banned.
You okay babe? you’ve barely touched your unseasoned stew made entirely of root vegetables.
I care about authenticity in that the authentic version of a food is always going to be much better than the cheap Americanized version. But yeah fusion is good, combining different good things is basically what cooking is.
I like to eat fusion cuisine, however, authentic recipes have been refined over centuries and you can taste that. Sushi filled with mayo, corn, and avocado just isn’t as good as the original, as is pizza with hollandaise and schnitzel, or whatever you want to call that stuff you get in western “Chinese” restaurants.
