To all of you saying "this literally looks like poop", "why are they eating boiled vomit", etc, post the last thing you made and I'm sure I could come up with some shitty things to say about it.
It's fucking very obviously a normal ass plate of potatoes and meat stew with carrots. Do the potatoes look a little bland? Maybe, but there's stew to dip it in. Regardless, a well seasoned potato has a good flavor all by itself. The stew looks like every other homemade stew I've ever seen. It's hard to make that shit look "pretty", but I know y'all scarf shit like that down. Get off your high fucking horses. There's plenty of other valid things to complain about with British culture, but making fun of their food is asinine.
No their food is fucking trash. And as for that stew, yeah it probably came in a can, but I've eaten better stew out of a can than that. This is the kind of food that my dad would make sometimes when I was growing up. 35 fucking years ago. Because it's what he had growing up, and he has like six older siblings. It's poor people food. And that's fine, but that doesn't make it good. I will say at least it is not jelly eels or some other traditional nonsense British food.
The national dish is Chicken Tikka Masala, a delicious tomato based curry invented in Birmingham in the 1970s. The country has nine Michelin starred restaurants, ranking 7th in the world. Fish and chips, pie and mash, cider. Full fucking English.
Their food is not trash.
