The industrial revolution too, which gutted many rural and working class areas and ruined appreciation of good food through mass production becoming vogue and the only stuff much of the country could afford.
I will defend vinegar on fries, but that's all I can defend. The amount of intentionally straight up soggy shit they eat is kind of wild, you'd think that a country constantly sodden in rain would appreciate some dry food once in a while.
Did you know that curry leaves are a new revelation
Several years ago when I went to the UK, they shoved mushy peas onto anything they could. You could even buy it at fairs in small containers.
It's part of the many times he's waged some personal war on kids lunches. At one point after he showed up for some TV bullshit and left in the UK, there was a problem where his changes made the cost so high they had to revert everything because it wasn't affordable anymore, and when you consider that for some families the school lunch program welfare benefits are one of the guaranteed meals a kid may get, that's a fucking problem. If I remember right he visited a US school for the same shit and the district lunch program just fell apart.
Malt vinegar on fried fish is good, too. Otherwise, British cuisine is disgusting. British and Indian food are really the only country's foods that I find absolutely disgusting. British food has no flavor and curry is an abomination
English condiments go hard, they kind of have to. It's why I joked that mustard is a food group (it would of course include vinegar).
He's also a snobbish scumbag whose opinion is basically poor people can go die for all he cares.
They do some things well. Cheeses, for instance. English mustard is pretty solid. The English full breakfast is a classic. That and a builder's tea is perfect if you're going to work outside on a cold day. Then there are the various accompaniments for tea. That said I could live without the flavorless grey boiled meat shit you often see. I also had one of the worst sausages in my entire life there, not sure if that's common, also boiled, bad enough it made me sick.
Dude is a fucking clown.
This list is highly accurate.
I ordered breakfast at a decently reviewed cafe there, they served mashed fucking peas on hash browns. Hash browns are supposed to be golden crispy caloric goodness, they tried to make it healthier by pasting it with a layer of green mud. The person who thought this was a good idea should be swinging from a lamppost.
I’m surprised jack doesn’t cook more British meals, it’s just a lot of canned foods that are slapped together.
I'll do it again.
It's still better than literally anything Jack cooks.
He'd fuck it up, the outside bread would be burnt and the inside bread would be raw
Somehow the outside bread is store-bought charcoal and the inside is dough that's not even mixed properly
I don't know, but he'd eat the whole thing off-camera anyway.
