    Excuse me but that isn’t an official, original “Colin the Caterpillar” cake from Marks & Spencer, but an inferior and entirely unauthorised " Curly the Caterpillar" clone from Tesco.

    As a proponent of fine British cuisine I take offence to this dire misrepresentation.

    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 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!

      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

      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.

      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.

      A long, long time ago when I worked somewhere that briefly made Fridays optional over time days, on a Friday we’d order breakfast to work sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and beans on something baguette like was very common. The old adage applies …”don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”.

      I haven’t had beans on pizza. I’ve probably had worse though.

          Low quality turkey (animal) meat, mashed up and mixed with rusk, water, other low quality “meats” (offal, ears, pig trotters, bumholes etc) and an array of flavourings and sweeteners and reconstituted into a helical shape and coated with breadcrumbs and oven baked.

          Basically the same as any other easily affordable breaded, reconstituted meat product, except it’s in a helix instead of a sausage or burger pattie shape.

          I’ve never had one, but they’re probably delicious.

            For true, British tastebuds. Yummy.

            I liked them as a kid, your comment on suger is correct though, they were strangly sweet.

          Lab analysis inconclusive. But either way they’re great.

        He gets more flack than he deserves. He tried to change school dinners yes, but the government at the same time were severely cutting back the budget for school dinners in general. Once the quality fell through, they used Jamie as a scapegoat for the whole thing

      I’ll add haggis to that breakfast food list.
      Nothing better than a morning roll with bacon, haggis, square sausages and an egg.

    Please tell me that Heinz Red Beans Pizza isn’t a single label. It’s just a trick of the light, right?
