If this was the only food accessible to me I would also conquer the world. Desperately.

idk why people say that about British food, this all looks warm and filling, it's basically comfort food. The worst thing about it is there are very few fruits and vegetables but presumably those are side dishes.

My issue with this is that about half the food is pies or otherwise pieish. The rest is just, boring or bland.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

I mean... pies are very practical in cold climates. By "bland" I think you mean that they lack spices, which is true except for pepper, but that's like saying Japanese food is a problem because it doesn't have enough jalapeños.

"Boring" is subjective, tho I think we'd agree that to a modern palate it wouldn't be very exciting to only eat British food exclusively. That can be said of any country's cuisine tho.
