Look, I visited Britain a few years ago and you guys had pie with fish in it, which seemed kinda unique, fish & chips with vinegar in a newspaper, shortbread, haggis and other non-dessert "puddings" and breakfast with sausages etc.. (Also, we went to an Indian restaurant in Britain and it was really good. Like world class good ngl.)
British cooking has a bad reputation, but they make really good comfort food. Sunday roast, yorkshire pudding, steak and ale pies, shepherd's/cottage pie, full english breakfast, pasties, fish pie, beef wellington, scones! I could go on. Sure it's mostly brown and beige food but cooked properly all of these dishes are really tasty!
Corn dogs for rich people
It's puff pastry 'round a roast, not exactly made of gold.
You must be if you're using fillet steak as a Sunday roast.
This meme is British people poking fun at ourselves.
Americans just recycle the same jokes from Reddit "lol conquered the world but doesn't use spice". From people who've never left their home town. You can ignore those.
The French also insult our food and they have more of a point but that's another matter and I'll personally fight them over it
Pfft, what would the french know about good food, they probably don't even put cheese on their beans and toast
The French had to get really good at sauce because they ate horse meat.
British Curries are different than a lot of "authentic" indian curries, but they have become a thing in of them selves, over the years, and they are great.
Do other countries not have fish pies?
Not really, no.
That's a shame.
Fish tacos are good though.
except quebec! Maybe canada but I never hear about this outside of here. salmon (usually canned) and potatoes with a cream sauce full of sliced hard boiled eggs. https://www.food.com/recipe/salmon-pie-with-egg-sauce-340901#recipe also I saw a russian salmon and rice pie recipe pop up when I was searching this up
Oh yeah, I guess it is a thing but not common. To be fair outside of chicken and maybe a beef pot pie, I never see many meat pies here.
British “Indian” restaurants are genuinely S-tier. In Oz curries are too wet and they put cream in all of them regardless of the dish.
They have curry in Oz? Idk how I missed that part of the movie
