Is British food really that bad? Even Mark Wiens was barely able to pull his forced orgasm face when he visited there.

>Is British food really that bad?
It depends on what you mean. British restaurants serve some of the finest food in the world, but they have no traditional "cuisine" per se, just methods of ingesting calories with minimum effort.

British 'peasant food' is THE worst in the world.

no the food isnt bad but i wouldnt give a thought to what that diabolical cretin thinks, hes a fucking demon if i ever saw one.

all british dishes is basically hearty filling stews and fish with some pastries and potatoes and veg
we dont stray too far from that
>>
>>19065365
Many. Including many that are in genuine poverty and have history of famine. Nobody, anywhere, has a cuisine as poor as the Brits.

None of the food he ate was British food. It was Italian, French, Portuguese and German food

Your average small town cafe is staffed by fat middle aged women who don't know how to cook anything, if that's what you mean.

>>19065334

whenever you criticize british food the only argument briton's have is offering a sandwich with only potato chips and butter (poor people food here in america). or they show you some dish that I could have built at golden corral, like a hamburger steak, beans and mashed potatoes.
>>

I meant to say french fries. But they probably also use crispy potato chips, as I wouldn't be surprised.

Why do people hate Mark Wiens? He comes across as a pretty chill and humble dude who is passionate about what he does. Yeah he pulls some weird faces when eating but haven't we all at one time or another when we've eaten something so delicious?
>>
Depends what you consider "bad" and what your expectations are.

There is a stereotype it is bad, when you compare it to first world cuisines like France and italy which is comparing it to the best alternatives in the world, so frankly it's a backhanded compliment like comparing your daily car to a Ferrari.

Then there is calling it bad because compared to places like China and India, it has a much more bland and non spicy flavour profile, but the freshness and quality of ingredients is generally much higher than in those countries with a much larger selection and availability too, and sanitation.

And it's not like we don't make our own cheeses, have high quality livestock, grow our own vegetables, make our own alcohol, and have iconic recipes like fish and chips and roast dinners which people overlook and bring up dumb shit like chip buttys instead.

Basically fuck you

I don't know how straight men can watch Nick Avocado and be entertained. I tried watching a few videos just to see what he does (puts a bunch of food in front of the camera that he hardly eats). Then constantly throughout the video he makes gay sex jokes. It was so often that it made me feel disgusted by it, because that's just a natural reaction as a straight man. His audience has to be only children, women, and gay men.
>>
>>19066892
>Yeah he pulls some weird faces when eating but haven't we all at one time or another when we've eaten something so delicious?

He does it every single time. It's obviously fake because how can someone enjoy every dish they ever ate? I can understand people are entertained by smiles and joy when they watch someone eat food. Never once have I heard him say 'yea but its a little cold' or 'it needs more salt' or 'its too spicy for me'. Other reviewers like Best Ever Food Review actually do criticize dishes often. Also Mark is repulsive looking and if you told he was a convicted pedophile I would believe you.
>>
>>19065334
That guy stares like he is in need of a chop to the throat.
>>
>>19066899
I watch a lot of his videos and he doesn't always do it. Maybe he is a little too positive about the food but some people just try to find positives in everything.
>>
>>19066955
Okay well i'll challenge you to find me one clip and you can show us the timer where he criticizes a dish. Because i've never seen it.
>>
>>19065334
You can find good food and bad food in Britain, same as you can everywhere else. Last time I was in America, I had a burger which was literally floating in grease on the plate, a strong contender for the most disgusting thing I've ever been served, but I don't start screeching about an entire nation's food because of it.

well i'm surprised he called someones food horrible for once in his life. but i hate the way this video was edited. bro has had some good luck on youtube though and i'm pretty jealous he can walk into any restaurant and get a lot of views. also that food on the skewer probably was rotten and that's why you should always smell your food before you eat it.

He purposely doesn’t make the retarded facial expressions whenever he’s in western countries so that way you know
he REALLY loves that epically spicy Asian cuisine.

it's peak comfy
the best fried foods, pies, pastries, roasts, desserts, pudding, marmalade, etc.
plus chutney, lots of indian stuff

and they have a good gardening culture so the produce and herb selection is better than shartmerica imo

so basically hating it is a huge meme or they ONLY mention stupid things like jellied eels because everything else they take for granted

Most burgers who complain about bong (or any other nation's) food have never left their own state, let alone used a passport.
>>
>>19065334
As a Bong I don't even get why this meme exists
We eat mostly what everyone else in the world eats, I can't even easily name exclusively "British" food since it all seems fairly generic to everywhere else.

>>19065351
>British 'peasant food' is THE worst in the world.
Oh okay, well, in that context, you might have a point. But I could as easily point to any countries poor and stupid and the slop they eat and be valid in doing so.

Watch the intro and skim the rest, or just watch clips, and he's pretty funny.

I'm trying to understand what exactly people think bongs eat. This last week for dinner I've had sweet chilli chicken and egg noodles, pasta with pork and beef ragu, a poached salmon fillet, harissa chicken with cous cous, pork chops and a lamb shank with mint gravy. I swear this board thinks we all eat beans on toast and pie barms every day or something.
>>

and just to clarify for our Amerifat anons, that wasn't all on the same day

>>19069720
>I'm trying to understand what exactly people think bongs eat.

i'm american and my opinion is that most of your national food is bland and basic. you may make interesting dishes at home, but the totality of your cuisine sucks. that's why there's no british restaurant's in america (besides long john silvers?). long john silvers serves fish and fries similar to the way i've seen it in served in british videos. I understand that briton's think peanut butter and jelly is weird? Do you guys even eat macaroni and cheese?
>>
>>19067141
I really don't understand how anybody can like natto. That stuff is more foul to me than most of the stuff Andrew Zimmern at on his show.

how the fuck could someone not devour any of the above with aplomb? the only legit criticism is "b-but most of that is just some combination of meat and potato", as if you couldn't say the same about most northern european food
>>

>Do you guys even eat macaroni and cheese?

Anon...they are the ones who invented mac and cheese back in the 14th century.

A lot of old school Americam food is british in origin. For exame fruit pies, Americans eat the most fruit based loes in thr world per capita but our penchant for fruit pies comes from the English who started the lractice in the 16th century; sooner if you include mincemeat pies.

I guess that's true but I think american blacks elevated the dish to another level. It's a staple dish at any negro gathering.

I last had mac and cheese a couple of weeks ago, so yes to that. Fish and chips is a 'classic' bong dish but it's a takeaway dinner that you might get once a month (unless you're absurdly fat and unhealthy) and nobody here is kidding themselves that it's haute cuisine, despite what the shitposting here might make you think. Ditto stuff like sausage rolls, pies, pasties, these are all quick snacks that you might grab for your lunch, not the core food items that we eat as our national diet.
The other anon above who commented that 'British' food is basically other country's food is pretty much correct in that relatively few people I know eat the 'traditional' plain British cuisine that I see referenced on here - I'm 51 and honestly, I haven't eaten bland stodgy stuff like that regularly since the 80s with the exception of a roast dinner which I might have once every couple of months.

>>19065334
>Getting to Borough Market is easy by public transportation.
Lolno. Nowhere in London is "easy" to access. Some places are slightly less hellish.
Protip for non-bongs: Always get the direct train from Heathrow Airport to Euston Station. Do NOT eat anything in the station itself. Step outside into the square and you'll find a range of generic fast food options that will not offend your non-bong tastebuds. There's also a pub called the Doric Arch tucked away under an arch, but actually named after a much older arch that isn't there anymore. Do NOT eat the food there - it's overpriced. DO drink there - they have a screen displaying a live feed of all the arrival times at the station so you won't miss your train.
Now step back into the station, but do NOT buy a ticket or go anywhere the signs tell you. Instead, use the sneaky little stairs hidden to the left of the main entrance. This allows you to skip the horrific winding route and go straight to the underground ticket machines. NOW buy a ticket and follow the signs to find the ticket barrier for your line.
>>19066854
>the only argument briton's have is offering a sandwich with only potato chips and butter
The meme foods come from times of extreme poverty. Being among the first wave of countries to industrialise leaves a lot of people behind (think rust-belt, but with no welfare system). For example, the Thames used to be so polluted that everything died except the eels, so Londoners just got used to eating eels. Then war rationing got everyone used to eating out of tins, so you have classics like beans on toast.
It's also worth pointing out that the founders of Britain's most elite schools were laconophiles who believed children need to suffer as much as possible to turn them into warriors. So the poor got used to poverty food due to poverty, while the rich got used to it due to sadistic school masters. Give it a few generations and everyone's idea of luxury is a nice chip butty with ketchup.
>>
>>19069965
>that's why there's no british restaurant's in america
There's no American restaurants in China, but I wouldn't say that's because American cuisine is inherently bad, it's because there's no demand for it there apart from as a gimmick.
