    There’s actually a lot of pretty good British food; unfortunately, it’s typically quite terrible for you. Like, I’ll fight anyone who wants to disparage a sausage roll, but I also understand that some people don’t want the food they put in their body to hurt them.

      I’m not British… Or healthy … But I’ve had scotch eggs once and thought them amazing.

    I had shepards pie at a pub once. Full disclosure I was 13 years old (traveling with family). I thought it was okay as I recall. That’s British, right?

    Not a brit, but I know the traditional “Full English” breakfast: Everything is fried. Even the tomatoes Oops, the tomatoes are grilled. The toast, however, is often fried, and not only on Christmas!

      Honestly

      I’m obviously biased as a Brit, but anyone who can look me in the eye after having the experience of a full English (or Scottish/Irish, a proper full Welsh is definitely a subject of understandably niche interest) breakfast and a good Sunday roast, and say we have shit food here is frankly a bit of a philistine.

      And there’s more to the chippy than fish and chips

      Edit: on re-read, I’m realising you might not be fully on board, have a proper one and you’ll understand. Also, I’ll have you know, we don’t fry our beans, and fried toast is a Christmas luxury

          Oh it’s phenomenal, don’t get me wrong, it just has to be an uncommon treat for longevity reasons

          A number of years ago, I lived near a greasy spoon cafe that did a sort of breakfast club sandwich situation with fried toast as the middle bread layer and the rest of the fry up distributed between the two decks of the sandwich

          I don’t think I’ve ever been more set up for a day than after having that, though I’m pretty sure it would have been my daily allowance of everything

          What are you supposed to do with the grease in the pan after frying the bacon and sausages if not frying the toasts? Also, I don’t have a toaster.
