Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.

Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, ... but still?

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

English breakfast is like the only decent thing to come out of that place

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Which isn't a high bar, but I agree with you.

Bri'ish food isn't that bad, I mean the yanks deep fry butter for god sake.

Yanks do? If anything that would be more of a southern thing, but I don't think its a common thing anywhere other than as fair food or something

It even isn't really a southern thing, its an attention grabber for capital. No one eats or thinks of deep fried butter save for those that go to fairs and get it waved in their face.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah that's what I figured

Fried butter is like a novelty fair food over here, it's not a real dish.

Blood pudding in the UK, on the other hand . . .

Edit: also I'm pretty sure Scotland would deep fry tf out of some butter

You don’t like Fish and Chips?

English food is fine as long as it is not prepared by the English.

It's because the alternative is "continental breakfast" which consists of a few slices of warm ham, tiny slices of bread and a bunch of fruit that's already on the turn.

That's why I'm sticking with alpine/Austrian breakfast: Real bread (Google "Schwarzbrot"), real cereals (a mix of oats, dried fruits and nuts, with hot milk) or Sterz (a breakfast made from ground maize, couldn't find a translation) with apples and raisins. Depends on how much time I have and what I'm doing on that day (before a long hike or a long day of skiing Sterz is the best).

[–] wieson@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sterz

I think Polenta is internationally more well known. Sterz is similar to Polenta.

[–] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Good point. They're the same, the difference lies in how you continue after cooking it.

Real bread (Google "Schwarzbrot"), real cereals

Way to gatekeep. 🙄

[–] wieson@feddit.org 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes, it's good to gatekeep. @pumpkinseedoil is correct on this one

[–] aulin@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Not even one bit. Fluffy bread is superior in every way in my opinion. And eating raw oats is just nasty.

I guess it was named so during the early 40s.
