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 “Indian” restaurants are genuinely S-tier. In Oz curries are too wet and they put cream in all of them regardless of the dish.
Do other countries not have fish pies?
Not really, no.
That's a shame.
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 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.
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.
