Can’t we just agree we’re both shit at making food? (except frying)

  1. You’ve got great bread, apple pie and ginger cake.

  2. England has been forcefully taught how to cook a long time ago by their french overlords. Even if met with both resistance and utter incompetence, centurys of serving their gallic masters has infused into the society, and when they put the effort they can actually make some (rare) edible dishes.

    Kanker germans for, what they’re worth, would eat gravel for it’s cheapness if it was nutritious. That’s the philosophy of their “cuisine”.

  3. I still think Netherlands takes the crown on this one. And if you try to cook a anything non-Dutch with the produce they have you are going to have a rough ride…

  4. How much TIkkie did you have to pay to crosspost this?

  5. Dunno what you are talking about..we have deep fried creme eggs now

  6. Stampot met Rookworst. Most under rated food on the European continent. Our food aren’t culenary marvels but it’s by no means bad food.

  7. Steak and kindey pie is good, but at the end of the day, we both make shit food that just gets the job done. Nothing fancy, just something to sustain yourself.

    The rest of you fuckers just have your heads so far up your own asses, you smell nothing but your own arrogance, good day.

  8. Oh no those irrelevants have portrayed us as the soyjack, how can we recover from this.

  9. So, never having been poor enough to need to find a way to cover up the taste of rancid, rotting meat is an L now?

  10. It’s not even comparable. You just go along with American stereotypes. You’re practically American. You should feel shit about yourself. Go eat some Dutch food as a punishment.

  11. British people also talk down about British food and there’s a considerable number who never eat traditional food outside of Christmas and Easter and some even then will not. I don’t know if the same is true of the Netherlands.

  12. The Netherlands is not irrelevant, they play an important part in other countries world cup victories

  13. Yeah, our kitchen is horrible. But we at least have money to buy proper food from Spanish, French, Italian and Greek restaurants and shops.

  14. I can’t name a single Dutch dish that I would eat. Except maybe the sprinkles on bread thing which is weird as fuck but just about edible. We have the capacity to make nice food and often do but unfortunately most of us choose not to out of laziness, poverty or incompetence.

  15. Who has the time to cook food when you need to cook something different?

  16. Holy shit they are even making posts about us on their own subs

  17. The issue with the Dutch is that they practically don’t have a cuisine at all, just some 20 mediocre dishes.

    At least in the UK there’s a wide variety of autoctone dishes, likeable or not.

    And let’s not sleep on the fact that Cornish cuisine is the best in Northern Europe (low bar I know, but it’s genuinely great). Inferior to Italian or Spanish cuisines of course, but not Dutch-level.

  18. NL is horrible, UK much better (I still miss Greggs).

  19. Disgusting nasty batbarians and their nasty ¿food? Just search for some tasty PIGS cuisine and stop trying to make stuff.

    Oh 15:00 time for siesta

  20. My theory about why Dutch people are so tall is because they don’t get enough nutrients from food, so they rise upwards like trees do in a desperate attempt to use photosynthesis to make up the shortfall. But there’s no sun in NL so they get even taller to reach past the clouds etc. Quite ingenious really.

  21. I had *bitterballe* once. Mostly because it means bitter penis in my language. I got violently sick and threw up for three days.

    Granted, the sick part was probably mostly because it was on Gran Canaria, but still.

  22. Idk guys when i went to amsterdam i was trying to find some local cuisine but i just couldn’t. Nice fries tho. 10/10.

    When i went to london i ate some chicken soup which i believe is a local dish? Idk. It really was gross looking but delicious. 8/10! And i found other places for local cuisine there that i couldn t try. That s a plus.

  23. I lived in the UK for a bit (10 years ago for a few months), and I thought the quality of groceries was lower in the UK than in the Netherlands. It just didn’t taste as good.

    But I agree that our national dishes are mostly shit, except for the stuff we got through colonialism and the fried stuff.

  24. I love joking about British cuisine but UK food is actually really good when you know what to order and where.

    Fresh scotch egg or Cornish pasty slaps! Staffordshire oatcake w bacon and cheese? Yes please. Bacon butty to fix you when you’re in hurry. Homemade Sunday roast with crispy yorkies dipped in gravy. Bangers n mash with onion gravy and peas. Vegan haggis, neeps and tatties in Scotland. Welsh/Yorkshire rarebit. Artisan sausage rolls. Fish n chips w salt and vinegar. Pie with chips and gravy or proper Scouse/Staffordshire lobby to keep you warm when the weather is grim.

    I legit miss going to hols in the south and having fresh Cornish pasty with Rattler everyday.
