I’ll take abuse from much of the world about British cuisine, but not from the States, the audacity to think they’re in any position to be judging anybody else’s food 😅😂🤣
American brains are just too dopamine-fried. They can’t deal with not having a dozen different neon-bright colours on the plate, and they need every bite to be a flavour explosion of a hundred different carcinogenic acids.
The old myth about British food comes from US soldiers stationed in the UK during WWII, when we were living on rations. They somehow failed to understand that.
The real irony isn’t that British food is actually hearty and delicious, but that US food is a vile, chemical filled abomination XD
I will say that the English have a hard-on for dumping mash on top of mince and veg and calling it a “pie” which I’m not personally a fan of.
At least three of those dishes look edible.
Plus Tikka Masala is not an Indian dish.
A lot of these are just people picking the most deliberately boring dishes, like bangers & mash or cottage pie, and framing it as the entirety of “British cuisine.”
You can’t just casually say “and a Yorkshire pudding” without recognising that’s the food of the gods.
Americans will say all British food is shit because they didn’t like beans on toast once . I’ve never seen an American actually eat these kind of meals well made and not enjoy it .
Look at your favourite foods, and I guarantee at least 50% of them will be brown or beige.
Coming from the country that puts 50kg of sugar in everything
… Said whilst eating a whole canned roast chicken that’s been sat on a shelf for 3 years, followed by a twinkie and some puke flavoured hersheys for dessert.
It’s actually amazing how much the introduction of potatoes and tomatoes from South America changed our cooking.
One a starch rich tubor known for its ability to grow in conditions other plants like wheat and corn can’t. Quickly becoming a staple across Europe and the UK replacing turnips and swedes.
The other is a cultivated, edible nightshade berry which formed the basis of most sauces and dishes across Europe, especially Italian cuisine.
Americans don’t like natural colours in their food. If it’s not chemically enhanced it’s no good.
The myth about British food being bad is from WW2 when Britain bankkrupted itself fighting the nazis.
If you’re foreign the only thing you should be saying to the British is ‘thank you’. You useless ungrateful cunts 😡
What colour do they want their meat, chlorine green?
Most of the english indian dishes don’t exist in India, they were created by immigrants for English tastes.
Nationality is not the same as ethnicity so yeah Tikka Massala is British.
America has contributed nothing to global cuisine
My mouth is watering looking at those pictures. Honestly I don’t care what other cultures think of our food. This is what we like and it’s damn tasty.
Seppo just sad at the lack of sick smothered with tasteless plastic cheese
This is good hearty food. Even the mention of Yorkshire puddings has me excited.
Brown meat and potatoes is underrated. In all of the above contexts it’s banging!
What’s the issue with meat being brown? I know they have lax food standards in America but I didn’t realise their meat comes in a variety of pastel colours.
It amazes me how many peoppe domt know tika is Scottish
USA cuisine= Hamburger helper & aerosol cheese: everything else is literally taken from other countries especially from the UK
I care as much about their opinion as I do that my Mum dismisses all Italian dishes “because pasta isn’t proper food” and my Dad who banishes the whole Asian continent from his menu because it’s all “dog meat with spice”.
Haters gonna hate, racists gonna find a way to be racist and I’ll still enjoy my lasagna and curries and pies safe in the knowledge that I DGAF what idiots think anymore.
Funny due to that apple pie was I believe introduced to them from brits
They are used to brightly coloured meat due to the dye and flavourings added after it’s been washed with chlorine. They don’t know what meat is supposed to look like.
Cough! American food!? What’s that? Do they mean the amalgamation of all the diverse ethnical pot melt of cuisines from the very ethnicities that they discriminate against?
them listing off the ingredients being similar as if it changes the fact that every meal shown is a banger😭 meanwhile they have hamburger helper
Tikka masala is from British south Asian community it’s not something that exists in India as a traditional dish.
It’s not that bad.
Sunday roast is mint.
As a British born Chinese, British Chinese takeaway (if we count it as British since it is so bastardized) is so bad that it is good. Give me those crispy beef, sweet and sour ribs and curry sauce on chips any day.
The meat is brown because it’s beef and beef is delicious.
Peasant food all over the world is delicious
I dont see anything wrong with those lol
People hype up Indian food, but through the same reductive lens you could be like “look , its it’s all brown meat slop and rice!”
We just traditionally use potato instead of rice and gravy instead of curry sauce. Also, gravy is *massively* underrated and slept on, there are some seriously good gravies. And they pair with the meats flavour really well instead of masking it or overpowering it.
as a greek who’s never had any british food and this showed up in popular : these dishes look like proper homemade hearty country meals; would absolutely devour and say “thank you grandma”. Only thing missing is a proper fresh salad and a nice glass of red or beer.
Lived in Houston for two years. The one in Texas, not the one in Renfrewshire.
Discovered Tex-Mex cuisine is a successful attempt to make Mex food less tasty.
A bit like Mexican food then,same shit wrapped up in a tortilla a different way and we all love it!
I’ll eat meat and potatoes everyday for the rest of my life before I subject myself to the chemical abominations that is American ‘food’.
I will fight and die for my potatoes and brown meat! Who wants sum? I’ll give it ya!
It’s almost like meat, potatoes and root vegetables have been staple foods in the UK for centuries and so are a part of our core cuisine… shocking!
Americans are the last ones who get to judge other countries cuisine when their food it basically the following:
Obesity for breakfast
Obesity for lunch
Obesity for dinner along with a side of obesity for desert
And then there’s the poor imitations of traditional European, Asian, and Mexican foods that they do which are often twice the size and twice as unhealthy
It is a truth universally acknowledged that brown food is the best food
The sheer audacity of a nation whose “cheese” comes in aerosol cans to critique the creators of the Yorkshire pudding is truly something else.
Honestly the whole trope is just tiresome at this point.
The vast majority of Americans eat an incredibly poor diet so they’re in absolutely no position to judge.
Most Americans think fine dining is paying $100 for ribs and sausage then eating it in your car in a massive car park on an industrial estate.
If you took them to the Black Swan at Oldstead or L’Enclume most of them would be absolutely mortified at the price or say it was stuck up.
I also love the angle of ‘yeah but that’s not really English food’ when anyone points out that we have great international cuisine.
The same people would claim that hotdogs – German, pizza – Italian, French fries – Belgium or France, apple pie ENGLAND (yes there are English apple pie recipes that were written before white people lived in America), chilli (Mexico) are quintessentially American foods.
Any country that thinks that cheese in a can is great knows nothing about food
At least we know what goes into our food.
Whereas it’s ground 20% beef 70% matress stuffing log and pasta dump dinner casserole.
People forget that British food is based on having high-quality local ingredients. There is no need to smoother in spices and deep fry it.
You’d use some veg from your garden and some meat from the local butchers.
People that insist on loads of spices are usually from countries that needed them to make up for low quality ingredients

Can’t go wrong with meat n two veg.
